Universal Vortical Singularity enlightenment on Dust Devil and Dust Storm

Based on unisonal vortex mechanism, the phenomenon of Dust Devil with levitated charged dust particles is caused by vortrex driven in a clear air vortex.

When a vertical downward force of wind dropping from a high up atmosphere surface in an almost vacuum vortex column and hit landed
at the bottom rim of the vortex eye, the bounced back reaction coupled with a horizontal centrifugal force would generate a vortical column with upward and outward centrifugal force, this causes the upward vortical air stream column.


This air stream has projectile action that pushes these electrostatically charged dust particles into mid air and then suspend them there. While air around the vortex column vortically pushes the dust out, the upward spiraling jet of air stream keeps the dust within the vortical column. These are the causes for the phenomenon of a Dust Devil.

The vortically levitated dust phenomenon driven by a vortrex can be described mathematically in a simplified manner with Bernoulli's principle in a rocket nozzle model.

UVS predicts that Dust Devil is formed by vortical reactions of a clear air vortex with a circular momentum that has bounced off the ground.

It appears like dust is pulled upward into the vortrex column, this is a paradoxical optical illusion; dust are pushed up instead.

Hypothetically, the electrostatic charge of dust particles are caused by a magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) dynamo effect of the clear air vortex, while the effect of gravity is packing the dust together in the vortical column, the positive force field of those eletrostatically charged dust particles push them apart as a result of electrostatic repulsion, rendering the effect of evenly spread dust particles that levitates in a vortex column with its spread distance varied according to air pressure at different altitude.

The bottom section of the clear air vortex has an inverted funnel shape is as a result of the centrifugal force interaction aided by the upward spiral stream in its vortical column on gradual pressure gradient following inverse-square law.

Similarly, the Phenomenon of dust storm is caused by a huge cyclonic atmospheric vortex that suspends dry dust particles on its vortrex and causes them to be electrostatically charged. Exact date and time when these storms occurred were not known, therefore the solar system alignments at the moment that have triggered the atmospheric vortices to form in these events could not be decided. The formation of external dust wall of the dust storm is probably caused by dust oozing out from the top of the huge cyclonic vortical column that has fallen in a cyclonic spiraling manner. See Einstein's photoelectric effect that describes levitated moon dust with charged particles having movements like "fountains".

UVS predicts that dust storm is formed by vortical reactions of a huge cyclonic clear air vortex with a circular momentum that has bounced off the ground.

See tidal bore and tidal wave that are also driven by the same vortical force dynamics and a video clip on tidal bores of Amazon river.
