Resumo

Electrical corona discharges at atmospheric pressure in a positive point-to-plane configuration create an electric wind from the point to the plane which, in a closed cylindrical vessel, generates in a few seconds axisymmetrical vortices in the vessel. Photography and video recording show that a small ring vortex appears around the discharge axis, close to the plane, enlarges and progressively fills the vessel up to a stationary situation.
