Vortex Flows for Hydro Power

Over the years at least one online think tank has spent endless hours considering the value of vortex flows to generate power and energy. It makes sense to use vortex flows to generate power, but how can they be controlled. For instance a Tornado sure packs a wallop, but try controlling an F5 Tornadic Cell? Consider a Cat V Hurricane spinning around in a tight circle? No thanks.
