Explore: Vortex Plates

A vortex mixer, or vortexer, is a simple device used commonly in laboratories to mix small vials of liquid. It consists of an electric motor with the

phase plates, holograms, spiral fresnel lenses, cylindrical lenses, spatial light modulators, and q-plates, as well as others. Static spiral phase plate(s)

A vortex ring, also called a toroidal vortex, is a torus-shaped vortex in a fluid; that is, a region where the fluid mostly spins around an imaginary axis

they would be selling pieces of Vortex for $198.70. The pieces would be sold in 1.5-inch slices, capped with metal plates and mounted in a display stand

liquids. In laboratory settings, hot plates are generally used to heat glassware or its contents. Some hot plates provide an integrated magnetic stirrer

researchers looked into installing "plate lines" near the runway threshold to induce secondary vortices and shorten the vortex duration. In the trial installation

tailored to select organisms with specific properties. Agar plates may also be indicator plates, in which the organisms are not selected based on growth

A vortex generator (VG) is an aerodynamic device, consisting of a small vane usually attached to a lifting surface (or airfoil, such as an aircraft wing)
