A star formation region in Orion KL is studied in H2O maser emission. The structure consists of an accretion disk, a bipolar outflow, and an envelope. The disk is divided into rings with a rotation velocity vrot ≃ Ω R, period T ≃ 170 yr. The kinetic energy of rotation transforms into the bipolar outflow v˜ 10 km/s. The reactive force leads to two-mode precession and forms the outflow of a helix structure with a curved axis. The disk is the accreted environment in the azimuth plane and is ejected along the rotation axis like vortexes. A shell amplifies emission more than two orders at V=7.65 km/s. The ejector size is ≤ 50 μas, and the brightness temperature Tb≥1017K.
