The most powerful natural whirlpools are the result of tidal changes and the resulting fast-flowing water through narrow shallow straits. Any time water flows through a narrow path, it forms at least a partial whirlpool. As the water passes through the narrower opening, it accelerates and forms a more powerful force. If the downstream area then enlarges, it can mature into a complete whirlpool. As the water spins and accelerates, the centrifugal force tries to force it to the outside. Of course, it is contained by the rocks or other naturally-occurring obstructions, so it cannot fly out of the natural funnel. Water is heavier than air, so the center of the vortex creates a column of air which is simply the vacancy caused by the water being forced to the side. Why do I love whirlpools and water science? Because Im working on a new energy machine that involves vortex of water (centrifugal force) and static that it causes. I LOVE water, and all its fascinating abilities. Did you know water can form a bridge from one cup to another, just from playing the right music loud enough? Water is amazing, and even though were made primarily of it, and the world is Covered in it, we still know so little about its capabilities and possible utilization in technologies. I cant wait to develop what Ive got cooking! WOOHOO :D LOL
