Rings of moist air may keep airliner passengers comfy By Ben Coxworth August 02, 2016 A prototype vortex ring generator is tested on a mositure-detecting dummy Fraunhofer View 1 Images ...

"A vortex ring generator humidifies the air in passengers' breathing zones, thereby increasing comfort levels without any material increase in the overall relative humidity in the cabin," says ...

The AVRG projects vortex rings while mounted on a 2-axis gimbal platform. The toroidal vortices can driven by solenoids imparting an impulse into an air chamber. The generated jet of air entrails the ...

Ultra cool!!! But the biggest vortex rings on Earth are not made by dolphins or humans. Volcanoes sometimes emit huge ring shaped clouds of steam and gas up to 200 metres in diameter.

In this paper, a broadband orbital angular momentum (OAM) vortex beam generator is designed using reflective metasurface. The reflective metasurface is consist of 15×15 rings with symmetrical circle ...
