The "Great Pacific Garbage Patch," is a massive vortex of floating plastic trash estimated by ... eventually drifting into several large ocean vortices where currents swirl like water in a ...

Von Karman vorticies are a pattern of swirls in a fluid, named after the scientist that discovered them.Physically, it’s the same principle as setting a rock in a stream of water; the rock ...

The Swirl tap was designed by art student Simin Qiu at the Royal College of Art. It has two spinning turbines in the tap head that send water into a hollow vortex that uses 15 per cent less water.

These vortices are swirls generated when a fluid flows through a blockage, for example, water flowing over a rock in a stream. A sensor tab moves from side to side whenever a vortex flow through, ...

Referred to by the center’s operations and engineering staff as a vortex fountain, because of the way water swirls inside, the large fountain, located just outside of Crate and Barrel and ...

As a proof of principle, they used strings of 16 vortices to transmit 16,384 pixels, but possible future experiments with strings containing 28 vortex rings would be an efficient way to transmit ...
