Hi All,
Maybe this is a dumb question, but doesn't a CRT aim the electron beam with
a group of electro-magnets ?

As far as corkscrewing is concerned, my opinion is that it's just very
localized air-compression deflecting the arc-channel.
If I could propel a BB or piece of buckshot through water at a
more-or-less constant velocity, the locally-compressed water directly in
the front of the pellet would cause deflection, and the object would
corkscrew through the water.
I've seen the effect many times while rapidly reeling in a fishing-line,
and sometimes when spearfishing. (After all, fish are just birds flying
in a really thick atmosphere...the physics [with special-case
modifucation] is the same as an air-atmosphere ;)
It's the speed of arc-propagation-channel, locally compressing the
medium directly in front of the propagation "wave", that causes the
corkscrewing...external electromagnetic forces have little, if anything,
to do with it, IMO.
Comments welcome :)
