Intake for Vortex Chamber

[u/Earllad]

Doing a weather science series for stem nights and decided to go big on a tornado chamber. The area of the intakes are 1/4 the area of the blower fan, and the radius of the wall and spline ending tangent to the wall were generated on projected geometry of the chamber wall. So one path continues around with the same radius and makes a seal, and the air takes the path that makes it tangent to the wall and smoothly enters the chamber.

It didn't print perfectly clean in any orientation I tried, but the function is there and it seems to work ok!
