Alternatively, you can directly visit a mirror site (e.g., gravitytornado.com) that has embedded the effect.
Here are the specific steps to trigger the effects associated with these terms: 1. The Tornado Trick (Wizard of Oz)
This was an official Google easter egg for the film's 80th anniversary. You can still play it on elgooG. Search for: " Wizard of Oz Trigger: Click the Ruby Slippers in the sidebar.
Effect: The heels click, and the screen spins in a whirling tornado before turning the entire page into a sepia-toned "Kansas" mode.
Reset: Click the Tornado icon that replaces the slippers to "spin" back to the colorful version. 2. Google Gravity (Mr.doob) google gravity tornado
This is a famous project by developer Mr.doob where the homepage literally collapses. Search for: "Google Gravity"
Trigger: Click the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button or the first result (usually mrdoob.com or elgooG).
Effect: The logo, search bar, and buttons fall to the bottom of the screen. You can click and drag the pieces to throw them around like they are in a physics sandbox. 3. Related Gravity Effects
If you want something that moves or spins more dynamically, try these: Alternatively, you can directly visit a mirror site (e
Google Space: Similar to gravity, but elements float in zero gravity as if they are drifting in orbit.
Do a Barrel Roll: Type "Do a barrel roll" in Google to make the entire results page spin 360 degrees.
Google Askew: Type "Askew" or "Tilt" to make the page lean slightly to one side. Play Google Gravity - elgooG
Combining the classic "Google Gravity" experiment with the physics of real-world "atmospheric gravity waves" during tornado events, this paper explores the intersection of digital simulation and meteorological phenomena. Digital Physics: The "Google Gravity" Experiment Created by Google Gravity is a widely known Chrome Experiment that applies simulated physics to the Google homepage. The Mechanic Here are the specific steps to trigger the
: Upon interaction, the search engine’s UI elements—buttons, logo, and search box—lose their fixed positions and fall to the bottom of the browser window as if subjected to earth-like gravity. Interactivity
: Users can "toss" these elements, causing them to bounce and collide using a 2D physics engine. This "tornado-like" chaotic movement of digital debris mimics the debris trajectories studied in actual storm modeling. : It remains one of the most popular Google "tricks" or Easter eggs , alongside others like Google Sphere Atmospheric Physics: Gravity Waves and Tornadoes
In meteorology, "gravity waves" (not to be confused with gravitational waves in space) are essential to understanding severe weather. AGU Publications Mr.doob | Three.js Quake
Curious to try it? Unlike a real tornado, this one is completely safe, doesn't require a basement, and works on almost any modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari). Follow these steps:
