A vortex is a often turbulent, flow (or any spiral whirling motion) with closed streamlines. The shape of media or mass rotating rapidly around a center forms a vortex. It is a flow involving rotation about an axis (not always oriented vertically though; sometimes possessing a horizontal axis).

Vortex Technologies

• Viktor Schauberger - v1 Viktor Schauberger 1885 - 1958. The father and founder of implosion. His keen innate understandings into the workings of nature will teach us the how to live in harmony with the environment around us. v2 hyperbolic rotating cones as turbines, copper eggshapes in order to create vortices for water-purification, suction-vacuum-caused-vortices for air-purification, energy-creation using air/wind/water, using inwinding centripetal implosion and vortices.
