What do the experts think of this product?

Absolutely correct. A toilet is designed to create a vortex to help scrub the walls of detritus (BTW, it does not flush the opposite way in the southern vs. northern hemisphere. Outside of large-scale weather patterns, the relatively weak coriolis effect is only noticeable under laboratory conditions, not lavitory ).

My son has a little tube that attaches two 2-liter pop bottles together, used to make "tornadoes" if you swirl the water when you tip it upside down and watch it drain into the other bottle. If you swirl it correctly, you get a nice vortex and the water slowly drains. If you just tip it over, it drains straight down - and much faster. In other words, the vortex slows it down! :huh:

Car manufacturers agonize over details that give a difference of 2%, 1% or even less. If there was such a simple device that gave 16% more HP and 31% better fuel-efficiency, you can be sure it wouldn't be sold by some unknown outfit on e-bay. <_<

I must be. That is what I keep telling myself as I cry myself to sleep.

 

Do any of you remember cow magnets? During the gasoline shortage of 1974 there was a very persistent urban legend that said taping cow magnets to your fuel line would improve gas mileage. A lot of people actually did it and the placebo effect worked, some of them swore they were getting better mileage. Actually some of them most likely were, they were driving better to prove to themselves that the cow magnets worked. Of course cow magnets are pretty cheap compared to some of the other junk.

Do you have any for sale?
How do they work?
Cows are not made of metal, are they?

It's total CRAP!

 

Cow magnets!? How could anyone not know that's bull?

Tell me they weren't shaped like cowpies.

Actually it's for real. They are oval shaped magnets you feed to your cows. It seems cows eat pretty much anything including baling wire and nails which can be very bad for the bovine digestive tract, the metal pieces seem to stay there instead of being passed on through. When the cow eats a magnet the other metal pieces stick to the magnet and the bigger collection gets caught up with the rest of the waste and goes right on through, healthy cow again.

The fuel line "theory" said that the magnet would line up the fuel particles in the gas line on the way to the carburetor so they would get through easier and burn better. There was more to it than that but that's the general idea. It really seemed to do no good to point out that there wasn't anything in gasoline effected by magnets. But it was a harmless fad because cow magnets are cheap. In fact I'm told you can recycle them when they come through the cow.

Well that's it-honest. no bull

 

but who's going to dig through the field of cowpies or the gutters in the barn to recycle a cheapo magnet? :lol:

You need to meet some of the Yankee Swampers up here.
