Hi Bert,

I don't think the streamers care about air currents or gravity.

I just mounted the coil horizontal like this:

and the resulting streamers look like this:

Each "spear" forms and disappears in a flash and I don't think the air has 
anytime to do anything.  Right at the hot base of the arcs you can see a 
little warm air rising effect but not further out.  The cork screws seem 
just the same to me.

Here are some additional pics:

In the last one, note that the cork screws are happily going downward...
