Photos above demonstrate the Vortex at work. A wire with a small flag at its top was inserted into an AWM 51 Air Wipe at air off (top left). When the air was turned on (top center), the flagpole (that is, the wire), driven by the rotational vector, started to spin at high speed in the contour of a funnel, illustrating the presence of the Vortex.
Another experiment was carried out to determine if a vortex virtually exists in an air wipe without the vortex creation feature. The answer was negative. Presumably, the Corioles effect, believed to be responsible for the development of all large scale vortices on the earth, failed to deflect the air particles in the scale of an air wipe.
