A vortex is a spinning turbulent flow (Flow in which the velocity at any point varies erratically) (or any spiral (Flying downward in a helical path with a large radius) whirling motion) with closed streamlines.
A vortex can be any circular or rotary flow that possesses vorticity (additional info and facts about vorticity).
On a much smaller scale, a vortex is usually formed as water goes down a drain, as in a sink (Plumbing fixture consisting of a water basin fixed to a wall or floor and having a drainpipe) or a toilet (A plumbing fixture for defecation and urination).

 VORTEXES: Phenomenon of the Vortex
Vortexes typically exist where there are strong concentrations of gravitational anomalies, inturn creating an environment that can defy gravity, bend light, scare animals, twist plant life into contorted shapes, and cause humans to feel strange.
For a vortex to occur or BE, an incredible amount of things have to be in place or go before it, whether it's permanent or seems forever relative to our lives such as found in the Shasta Vortexes, or simply construed to be fleeting in time such as seen in a typical dust devil.
There is one other major system of vortexes that is seldom thought of and usually never considered by most people, but every living thing on the planet is impacted one way or the other at one time or the other by their influence.

 Finding the Motor in the Magnet by Nick Nelson
My research at the Oregon Vortex convinced me that this large authentic geomagnetic anomaly bears more than a passing resemblance to the field surrounding a permanent magnet, and the BBs used in conjunction with magnets demonstrated that magnets are actually broken up into field segments each with a different spin component.
Because of these spots I realized that the vortex, thought to be spherical in shape, is actually a unit.of three distinctly different vortexes in relation to spin, and they are orthogonal, or at ninety-degrees to each other.
My research inside the Oregon Vortex finally brought me to the decision that a magnet motor should work if three disk magnets are incorporated at 90-degrees to each other and the top disk at 45-degrees to the plane of the bottom disk.
