There is a FAQ <http://vortexengine.ca/AVE_FAQ.shtml> for these questions.
You obviously don't understand vortex dynamics and, even when presented with a photograph of a structure that retains its integrity despite being extended orders of magnitude laterally across the diameter of the vortex, are impervious to pedagogy. The only thing that will convince you of the well-understood aspects of vortex dynamics will be a power station that has been running for years. Well, you'll have it soon enough -- probably about the same time Mary Yugo shuts up.
