I couldn't have put it any better than that.....
P.T. Barnum once said "theres a sucker born every minute...". If these things were so good, every manufacturer would be installing them on the assembly line.

They won't reply. 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. |

They won't reply. Golly, wouldn't friction and going around curves (induced secondary flows) tend to dissipate the initial swirl? ****ing morons! -- John ThunderSnake #59 |

Actually I did see where the FTC sued one of them some time back.
