Howdy Jones,
I have been reading this thread with interest. We believe a vortex
configuration whereas the center funnel can be "formed or shaped" into a
series of several "hourglass" stages, progressively larger toward the top,
may add much. It may be possible to configure these "hourglass shapes" using
magnets. We are working on it but have yet to produce one in the test tank.
A keen observer of vids of tornadoes can occasionally see several of these
"hourglasses in the funnel. It is interesting that these particular funnels
are the the one's that create inner funnel lightning. The vids show an
occasional "inner lighting effect".
Strange and wonderful stuff.. Fun stuff.
