Abstract
A fluid-channeling device comprising: a fluid source; and a beam generator configured to generate a collimated vortex beam, wherein the beam generator is operatively coupled to the fluid source such that fluid from the fluid source may be introduced into a vortex of the collimated vortex beam, and wherein the collimated vortex beam is tuned such that when the fluid is in the vortex the fluid interacts with the collimated vortex beam to create an insulating pseudo-wall between the collimated vortex beam and the fluid such that the fluid is suspended in, and capable of traveling through, the vortex.
