Harnessing the tornado's energy
Article Abstract:
The efficiency of fluid based processes can be increased by encouraging formation of vortices making it possible to harness energy from slow moving flows. Vortex technology can be used to heat and cool without the use of any moving part and this technology can also be used to obtain drinking water from desert air or improve vacuum cleaning devices.
