When I see the TV commercials for these devices I just have to laugh.
They promote the "tornado" effect as a good thing. In reality the
"tornado" effect (aka vortex) is actually a sign of inefficient flow.
When I design dam outlet control structures I have to specify where to
put anti-vortex devices into the structure to improve its efficiency
when conveying water. The theories behind these devices are bogus and
I'm surprised the government hasn't hit them with a lawsuit for false
advertising.
