At The Center Of The Storm

The satellite videos of this year’s streak of hurricanes, shown near continuously on cable TV News this summer, have exposed the mechanism of hurricanes in vivid detail. Those videos showed very clearly that the cloud assembly, of which the hurricane is made, spirals around an “eye” at the core center of the assembly that is in every sense very calm. The videos show, as does the photo of Isabel shown here, very clearly that the spiraling motion of the assembly is driven by/from the wall of the eye where the driving force and rotation speed are the greatest. From there it can only be concluded that the eye wall pulls the water molecules that make up the clouds of the hurricane body as it spirals. Also, since the speed of rotation of the cloud assembly diminishes (slows) with distance from the eye wall, it can only be concluded that a link that imparts the pulling force exists between the individual water molecules and the eye wall even though having no physical component to make it visibly discernible. Those with some understanding of physics principles should recognize that pulling force, although on a horizontal plane, as being of the same nature as the force of gravity. They should also recognize that the hurricane assembly behaves as a quasi-independent body, in a manner not unlike a spiraling galaxy as shown here, with the components of the cloud assembly bound to the eye wall by the links with which the individual molecules are being pulled.
We have seen these things with our own eyes and what we have seen is untainted by the concepts and theories advanced and taught to our children by our learned Physics gurus. What we have seen was real time. It happened before our very eyes. We saw links of force with no physical component bind water molecules into an assembly and exert force to cause the assembly to spiral. Since not discernible from the videos, the source of the energy that powers the eye wall is left to be explained on another occasion. Suffice it to say that it has the same origin as the force that binds a proton to give it existence, or that a proton uses to pull an electron, or one atom to establish a covalence with another, or the moon uses to pull tides on the oceans of the earth, or that the earth uses to pull the moon, or the sun uses to pull the earth and other planets, or that the center of the Milky Way uses to pull its solar systems, or that the center of the universe uses to pull all things to assemble the universe.
The sketch on the right has held my fascination for years but without understanding why until now. It provides the clue to understanding the mechanism involved in the formation of tornados, hurricanes, waterspouts, and the spiraling of water going down a drain. It has been there right before our eyes all these years. [Fig. 84-A taken from Modern College Physics, 3rd Edition (written by Harvey D.

An assembly of water molecules, whether as a cloud or a tub of water, is neutral. That is, the negative and positive charges associated with the hydrogen and oxygen atoms of which water molecules are made, balance or neutralize each other when they are bonded to produce an assembly such as a cloud or a body of water. But as the sketch shows, the water that is being pulled from the assembly (within the water faucet) by the force of gravity, presents a positive charge. (While not stipulated in this sketch, close observation would show that the stream of water being pulled from a faucet spirals.)
Explanation of the involved mechanism is rather straightforward. When assembled as a cloud or a body of water, water molecules bond with adjacent water molecules through hydrogen bonds as well as the normal inter-molecular (van der Waals) bonds as well. The hydrogen bonds that are unique to water molecules, occur when the two positively charged hydrogen atoms of one water molecule, bond with the negatively charged oxygen atom of a neighbor molecule, which produces assemblies that are essentially macromolecules where involved charges are neutralized.
Now, when a point of such a macromolecule assembly is pulled out of position by gravity acting through an orifice in the supporting structure, a hole in a cloud base or the drain of a tub for example, the less powerful hydrogen bonds of the affected individual molecules are fragmented leaving those molecules with their positively charged hydrogen atoms exposed. With the stronger inter-molecular bonds remaining intact, an avalanche of those interlocked molecules each carrying two positive charges are pulled along by gravity through the orifice. But there is one additional factor. That concentrated stream of positively charged molecules is moving through the earth’s magnetic force field, which causes those strings of interlocked positive molecules to spiral as predicted by the Lorentz Force Law, where the direction of the resulting force is determined by the polarity of the magnetic force field, counterclockwise for the northern hemisphere and clockwise for the southern hemisphere.
