Hi Charles,

I've been fascinated by tornadoes for as long as I can remember - the interest was sparked by witnessing a 'hay' devil dancing around in a harvested field as a young boy, and recently I've started becoming interested / obsessed with electrogravitics.

Your electromagnetic explanation for tornadic formation and activity makes absolute sense and I greatly enjoyed reading your paper on the subject.

The EM field induced levitation effect you've documented also fits well with various (conspiracy!) theories for the effects of electromagnetic fields on objects. I wonder if the horizontal / updraft idea was pushed in favour of the ED model in order to keep anti-gravity principles under wraps? It's amazing to think that such electrical activity could render trucks and trains as 'weightless' - but I suspect this has been known for some time. The witness accounts you cite for this phenomena was fascinating to read.*¹³⁸⁸⁹

My very limited research into the subject led to me stubling across the lorentz fluid vortex experiment/demonstration - in my very limited experience, this looks quite a lot like a truly tornadic vortex to me:*¹³⁸⁹¹
