Interesting idea for using an artificially created tornado to sustainably extract energy. I wonder if this could be built on a smaller, safer level for powering a home vs a city. Firing a 200 mega-watt tornado might be a problem for the local climate. On the other hand it could be a way to prevent tornados from destroying a town by reversing the energy flow and slowing the system down. Sure would be fun to play with out in the prairie, eh? ;D

Here's some information on the man responsible for this idea... Louis M. Michaud

I'm curious if this idea could be integrated with solar energy systems and heat collection. Say, pointing a bunch of mirrors like giant magnifying glasses at a central point to create a super hot energy node. Hmmm.... ::)

You should google for "tornado in a can", and Viktor Shauberger.
