I was going to keep quiet on the structure issue (though ice is the
only structure that I know of in pure water that lasts more than
nanoseconds) until I heard more, but you are either being snookered by
someone on this vortex and charge change issue or you misunderstood.

It sounds like someone pulled a few terms from a PBS special on
physics or weather and decided to apply it to water in a bucket
without understanding what they were talking about.

If there is any electric potential, it would be a vertical difference,
or horizontal from near the vortex to a spot away from the vortex. It
would not change according to the direction that it is spinning,
because the atomic scale particals don't know up from down, left from
right on a macro scale.
