Abstract
A fluid vortex display device includes a cylindrical vessel sealed at an upper end. A first fluid inlet is coupled to the cylindrical vessel adjacent a lower end of the vessel and directed at a substantial angle to an outer circumference of the cylindrical vessel. A discharge outlet of a pump is coupled to the fluid inlet. A closure is coupled to the lower end of the vessel. The closure includes a fluid outlet that is substantially spaced apart from a central longitudinal axis of the vessel. The closure may project into the cylindrical vessel to create an annular space adjacent the fluid inlet. The fluid outlet may be in the upper surface of the closure, which may not be perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis of the vessel. A support stand may support the vessel such that it is not perpendicular to a level foundation surface.
