WINNER Toy Box Physics: smoke rings, mushroom clouds and vortexes
This was the winning entry for the Toy Box Physics Contest. I describe how vortices / vortexes are made and show how to make them. I also describe when they occur in nature, including the mushroom cloud, dolphins and an air cannon. SEE LINK: http://www.physicscentral.com/experiment/contests/toybox/index.cfm
