Attention Bill, I figured you'd find this interesting. http://www.dump.com/2010/02/13/smoke-ring-collision/ Its two vortex rings of different colored smoke hitting each other head on. Very cool.

That's a splendid little video, and an elegant demonstration of spin conservation. I urge people to see it. The air particles and spin both rotate 90 degrees as a result of the collision. Fascinating! It would be interesting to see how this works in a low pressure cell, close to vacuum. I wonder

Those kinds of smoke rings are fairly common. The smoke is trapped in the narrow core of a much larger ring-vortex. It's laminar, otherwise the smoke would appear as a whirling cloudy structure. I heard that some local guys ten years ago set off a homemade gasoline bomb in a parking lot.
