Howdy Robin,
Some several years back Professor Youds of London website showed a test
setup that described an experiment using a high speed blower fan that
inducted air into a cone creating a vortex. He claimed the vortex produced a
" reverse vortex" at the face of the blower fan blade when he used a cup
shaped enhancer. His claim was the inner reverse vortex produced measurable
light in the gamma range when the VFD driven motor was running the fan blade
at 7225 RPM. An all air, no water.
We tried duplicating this experiment with no results.
However, during one of hundreds of tests in water on various configurations
of high speed distributors, we were able to produce this elusive inner
reverse vortex visible in the tank of clear water. This event happened
during a test at our standard 3450 RPM motor speed.
Set it aside for another day. We suspect this reverse vortex may play a role
in tornado produced lightning events. It may just be dust drawn into the
tornado.. but.. we don't know.. like most science.. as Jones often pens.. we
often spend money and time in reseach of elusive themes when we have so much
" natural" science waiting to study.

Hi Richard,
Maybe real tornadoes do this when they suck something up with a difference
consistency (e.g. pass over a pool). If so, then you may not have much luck
recreating the effect with a vortex in pure water.
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.

Magnetization might help.
