Curved Vortex Lift-Type 3 (2011 may-july) Flying bear, ball, and spinning top.

In may 2011 we (Giesbert Nijhuis, Alex Baumgart, and friends) build the third type of curved vortex machine, to discover if it is possible to lift a craft with the end of a curved vortex. The second type was curved 180º, and this third type only 90º, to reduce the weight and size of the construction, while keeping the total amount of power equal.
We are already working on new curved vortex machines. When ready, I'll post it on YouTube and my site. If it really works; please remember you saw it here for the first time!

what makes it curve

[Trebseig]

@leviterande The curved shape of the incomming airflow, makes the vortex curved. In this video there are clips of many different experiments. All curved 90º this time (not 180º as in the previous video). The air is blown in close to the vortex, from behind a curved surface, or blown in from the front against a surface that redirects the airflow in the right direction. If the incomming airflow would be shaped like a "S" for example, I predict the vortex will become "S" shaped.
