You may appreciate how difficult is becomes to get good conversation going in a tiny Texas town ( other than cattle, bailing hay and barbeque) so forgive my imposition on one of your threads.Picking up on the vortex tube was a " quick study" and Jones Beene had no problem reading the " braille" of vortex tubes as they describe the working anomolies of tornados even to the measured temperature of the vortex at higher elevations ( hot end of the vortex tube). What did surprise me was the comment made about " cavitation". Interesting that we observed cavitation at the base of the simulated vortex tests. Reminds me of seeing a piece of wheat straw supposed " driven" completely through a wooden light pole after a tornado passed. The wheat straw was " NOT DAMAGED" Hmmmm !!!. Explanation.. either.. the velocity was.. no couldn't be because the straw was undamaged... perhaps the vacuum within the cone of the vortex was sufficent to expand the.. no way!! OR ????.. a function of time....
