Uh-oh. I don't want to start "reactor war III". Let me try to clarify some of this...

That is dissapointing. I was reading this thread by jay1st and thought I would be able to create the same type of vortex with the above setup. I admit I really don't have a fluid dynamics degree, just an imagination . Rex, would you agree that Jay1st's setup above would create the swirling/vortex effect?

I know I could easily "contract" out the reactor....but what fun is that? In the words of Billy Madison, "I'm here to learn everybody.....not to makeout with you!".

I guess the above linked thread intrigued me with the creation of the vortex. If that's not possible without the introduction of another pump...I just might head back to the drawing board...
