1. Start off with a square image, white background. I think 400x400 works best.
2. Go to Filter>Render>Clouds
3. Go to Filter>Pixelate>Mezzotint: Short Lines
4. Go to Filter>Blur>Radial Blur: 100%, Zoom, and Best.
5. Hit Ctrl+F to duplicate the filter
6. Duplicate the layer
7. Go to Filter>Distort>Twirl: 75 or -75 (top layer only)
8. Set the top layer's blending mode to "Lighten"
9. Now merge the layers and press Ctrl+U to colorize! Or...
10. Press Ctrl+U on each layer for an even more awesome effect

Add overlaying scanlines or something and enjoy! Or if you're trying really, really hard and it's still not coming out right, here's the action.
can add this to the other helpful tutorials that i have found on my searches.
Thanks
Anyways, I've posted below the results that I got. The first one has just one twirl, as I followed the directions exactly as they were written:

This second one contains two opposite swirls, colorized differently (one's blue and one's kinda green).

Either way, its a really good looking effect. Nice job!
thanks very much for sharing it with us.
much appreciated

Really cool effect.
I took what you did. Then I added a grey :: steel blue gradient map over top set to exclusion. This is what I got:
