Does the vortex have a positive and a negative terminal for your convenience? How do you tap the electricity the vortex creates?

I am almost certain from past reporting that the waste heat is not merely to get the process started, but is indeed what continually fuels it. Since a tornado is fueled by temperature differences from ground level to higher altitudes, this condition can be readily recreated in cold/temperate climates by creating artificial warm air at ground level. In Canada for instance, if it were to stray from the artificial heat source it would die precisely because the ambient conditions are not sufficient for tornadoes. Having said this, I still doubt a power company would want one of these things close enough to a hundred(s) million dollar power plant to make it feasible to use the waste heat. Even a short lived renegade tornado could be very costly. I believe there is a bit of a mistake in the reporting that would clear up your doubts.
