17-Foot Fire Tornadoes Can Clean Up 95% of Oil Spills With 40% Less Soot, Scientists Discover

Researchers at Texas A&M University and the University of California, Berkeley, have shown that controlled fire whirls -- spinning vortexes of flame up to 17 feet tall -- can burn up to 95% of crude oil floating on water while cutting soot emissions by 40% compared to traditional burns. The spinning vortex works like a natural turbocharger, drawing in oxygen to create a hotter and cleaner flame. The team now aims to build mobile structures that can be deployed directly over ocean oil spills.
