I wonder if the proprietor actually believes in it, or is just running a big scam on the feeble minded :

The thing about these swirl-creating devices (hiclone, turonator) is that the swirl is killed as soon as it gets to your T/B, and if it managed to survive an ounce it would certainly be destroyed as the air is drawn into a runner.
