One of the most widely accepted explanation of the Vortex Tube Phenomenon is that compressed air enters the tube's vortex spin chamber where it is transformed into a mini-tornado spinning at up to ...

There was once a saying from the renowned American physicist Richard Feynman about turbulence. He said that it remains to be the most important "unsolved" problem in classical physics. The challenge ...

High-temperature vortex tubes convert compressed air into two streams: one hot, one cold. The tubes cool applications up to 392°F (200°C). The devices produce cold air down to –50°F (–46°C) and have a ...

When people are thinking of the future of space travel, an idea that floats around is a spaceship with a giant solar sail pushed along by a massive laser. Inspired by the concept but lacking a giant ...

Conceptual diagram of the influence of horizontal vortex tubes on tornado genesis and development during the intensification stage: (a) the effect of horizontal vortex tubes on tornado rotation; (b) ...

Researchers have managed to visualize the vortex tubes in a quantum fluid, findings that could help researchers better understand turbulence in quantum fluids and beyond. Nobel laureate in physics ...

We’re fascinated by things with no moving parts or active components that work simply by virtue of the shape they contain — think waveguides and resonators for microwave radiation. A similarly ...
