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. |

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

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 |

I guess they figure if you're smart enough to ask that question, you're smart enough to figure out whatever answer they send will be full of sheep dip... -- "Network management is like trying to herd cats." -- Unknown "I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges?" -- TazAmd - Humor Section Gettingtogather.com |

Thing might work for the Aussies.... No, the forces that create secondary flows in pipe and tubing are stronger than the coriolis effect. -- John ThunderSnake #59 |
