Are there different types of vortex engines?
The are many ways of using the atmospheric vortex engine concept. The heat source for a vortex engines can be waste heat or natural heat. Waste heat has the advantage that it is has a temperature slightly higher than natural heat. Getting rid of waste heat is a costly process which the vortex engine could convert to a profit center. 1. Vortex Cooling Tower. Vortex cooling towers without turbines could be used to replace conventional cooling towers thereby eliminating both the need for power to drive cooling fans or the need for the costly high hyperbolic natural draft stack. Vortex driven air flow could be greater than fan driven air flow thereby reducing cooled water temperature and increasing the output of the conventional part thermal power plant. 2. Vortex Engine. In a vortex engine the differential pressure at the base of the vortex is used to drive turbines and to produce additional electrical power. Adding a vortex engine to a thermal power plant could increase its electrical ou
