Abstract

Abstract The vortex sponge is a fluid substratum which is criss-crossed by innumerable fine hollow vortex tubes. Bending of tubes causes them to drift; the combination of drift and bending turns out to have effects mathematically identical to those of electric and magnetic fields. Thus, electromagnetism can be viewed mechanically, with Maxwell's curl equations governing the translation and rotation of the substratum. Shear and shear waves are illustrated by a plane shear wave.
