A review of the vortex engine

Convective vortices are common features of atmosphere that absorb lower entropy- energy at higher temperatures than they reject higher-entropy-energy to space.Via the thermodynamic efficiency, it has been predicted that the intensity of convective vortices depends on the depth of the convective laye...
