There should be high shear flow in that case as well and not as we are erroneously informed on various places on Internet that there is solid body rotation. Does anyone here think it is correct to lie about physics in order to stop understanding of it and thus prevent proliferation of technologies based on the effect? It is both impressive and disgusting that someone has been capable of keeping this kind of physics undeveloped for over a century. It would have been natural to see this combination of fluid mechanics and thermal physics to appear soon after the appearance of kinetic gas theory." Are you implying that the effect is substantial and can be exploited for gain? . or is your point merely that the authorities can go to absurd lengths to try to avoid the taint of proliferation..
