An apparatus generates and/or maintains fluid flow synthesizing and maintaining an artificial tornado. The apparatus includes a generally cylindrical frame having two chambers coupled with two channels each of one half the entire length of the frame, and having reversed angular coordinates. Each chamber operates to generate and/or maintain a vortex and each channel operates to induce and/or reinforce the vortex along the length of the frame.

1. An apparatus operative to at least one of generate and maintain fluid flow through the apparatus, said apparatus comprising a generally cylindrical frame having a frame length, said frame comprising: (a) a first chamber along the frame length, operative to at least one of generate and maintain a first vortex through the first chamber;(b) a second chamber along the frame length, operative to at least one of generate and maintain a second vortex through the second chamber;(c) a first channel along one half of the frame length, wherein the first channel connects a first outer region of the first chamber to a first outer region of the second chamber and is operative to at least one of induce and reinforce the second vortex; and(d) a second channel along the other half of the frame length, wherein the second channel connects a second outer region of the first chamber to a second outer region of the second chamber and is operative to at least one of induce and reinforce the first vortex. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a cross section of the cylindrical frame is substantially elliptic. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a cross section of the first chamber is substantially circular. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein a cross section of the second chamber is substantially circular. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a cross section of the first channel is substantially rectangular. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein a cross section of the second channel is substantially rectangular. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein, relative to a horizontal axis, the first outer region of the first chamber is substantially at the same angular coordinate as the first outer region of the second chamber, and wherein the second outer region of the first chamber is substantially 180 degrees from the angular coordinate of the first outer region of the first chamber, and wherein the second outer region of the second chamber is substantially 180 degrees from the angular coordinate of the first outer region of the second chamber. 8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein, relative to a horizontal axis, the first outer region of the first chamber is substantially at the opposite angular coordinate as the first outer region of the second chamber, and wherein the second outer region of the first chamber is substantially 180 degrees from the angular coordinate of the first outer region of the first chamber, and wherein the second outer region of the second chamber is substantially 180 degrees from the angular coordinate of the first outer region of the second chamber. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the fluid flow is airflow. 10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein a cross section of the first chamber is substantially circular, and wherein a cross section of the second chamber is substantially circular, and wherein a diameter of the first chamber is equal to the diameter of the second chamber, and wherein an output velocity of the airflow from one of the first and second chambers is determined according to equation: V=(K2)(K1)L/d where,V is the output velocity of airflow measured in in/sec, K2=7.45×10−5 in/secK1=1.000112 in/secL≡Frame Length in inchesd≡Diameter of the first and second chambers in inches. 11. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the frame is helically wound along the frame length into a helical coil. 12. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the frame is telescopically partitioned along the frame length into two or more collapsible sections. 13. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a first plug disposed at an inlet of the second chamber and first channel, operative to block the fluid flow into the second chamber. 14. The apparatus of claim 13, further comprising a second plug disposed at an outlet of the second chamber and second channel, operative to block the fluid flow out of the second chamber. 15. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the frame comprises a plurality of the first and second chambers connected via first and second channels. 16. A method for at least one of generating and maintaining fluid flow through an apparatus, said apparatus comprising a generally cylindrical frame having a frame length, said method comprising: (a) at least one of generating and maintaining a first vortex through a first chamber included in the frame along the frame length, via the first chamber;(b) at least one of generating and maintaining a second vortex through a second chamber included in the frame along the frame length, via the second chamber;(c) at least one of inducing and reinforcing the second vortex, via a first channel along one half of the frame length, wherein the first channel connects a first outer region of the first chamber to a first outer region of the second chamber; and(d) at least one of inducing and reinforcing the first vortex, via a second channel along the other half of the frame length, wherein the second channel connects a second outer region of the first chamber to a second outer region of the second chamber. 17. The method of claim 16, further comprising: (e) blocking the fluid flow into the second chamber, via a first plug disposed at an inlet of the second chamber and first channel. 18. The method of claim 17, further comprising: (f) blocking the fluid flow out of the second chamber, via a second plug disposed at an outlet of the second chamber and second channel.
