Merged whirlpower /another whirlpool thread

There have been experiments with artificial tornadoes, as a power source. They are a form of solar energy, yet not better than others. I smell Rudolph Steiner here.

Uh oh. If Steiner gets in, you'll have to make sure you stir the whirlpool right way around. There's a right and a wrong way to do everything, and dollars to donuts Uncle Rudy wrote a book to tell us all about it.
 
Does this mean that whirlpools in the Southern Hemisphere produce dark energy?


:rolleyes:

Nice... even the link doesn't work. That is professional-level incompetence.[/QUOTE

Just because I can't properly insert a link in my post doesn't make me a Liar. Sepp Hasslberger built one google his name.

I did. The phrase "steaming pile" for some reason pops into my head.

If you are able at least to spell that name well enough to get us to Hasslberger's site, perhaps you would be so kind as to go there yourself, shovel your way through that steaming pile, and provide us with a link to the whatchamacallit he supposedly built, so as to save us the trouble.

Can anyone provide a working link to this amazing whirlpool power source?

HG Whizz are you even genuinely interested in telling us about it? Posting links that don't work then telling people to Google the name of someone connected with it are hardly compelling reasons to take this seriously.
 
Okay, you people, stop distracting Whiz from his Speed of Thought thread. :mad:

We're waiting for some feedback over there!

:D

Do you figure we need the exercise? If you've found a link, have the courtesy to copy and paste it here. If you're either too arrogant to deign to do this, too lazy to bother, or too stupid to know how, why should we bother to go on?

Stop it. Stop demanding things such as evidence from him.

I want him back in the speed of thought thread so I can laugh at him as well.
 
Wrong!

This link suggest whirlpools and blackholes are related

Here's the link you tried to post:

... and no, the article does not show a relation between whirlpools and black holes...
"MIT scientists have more evidence that black holes can spin, creating a whirlpool in the fabric of space that pumps energy out of the black hole."​
They used the word "whirlpool" as a descriptive term.

You really don't know how to post links do you?
Here I fixed it for you: http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2002/blackhole-0501.html

...oh yeah. The link does not suggest anything of the sort.

I'm claiming Poe's Law on this one.

No one is as ridiculously stupid enough to claim that because black holes spins and create a "whirlpool" in space and time (analogies are nice until some stupid person takes it literally) that that even closely equates to a real whirlpool in water caused by water swirling around a tight exit hole.

Not quite - that press release of 2002 states that
MIT scientists have more evidence that black holes can spin, creating a whirlpool in the fabric of space that pumps energy out of the black hole.

That does not imply that all whirlpools are the result of black holes (unless you have one in your bath!). It is just a description of the spacetime around a spinning black hole. This solution of General Relativity (the Kerr metric) was derived in 1963.

Sorry, I reject your claim. I offer as evidence one h.g.Whiz. :)
