I wonder if anyone has tried something like this before in an exhaust or intake manifold?  I seem to remember Bisi blabbering about how he got his curved exhaust pipes to flow as if they were straight.... probably just a bunch of snake oil.

Looks like those vortec cyclone intake thingies.

And looks to be for incompressible fluids (liquid water), cavitation is a huge problem in those situations.

In compressible fluids such as Air with with fuel you are not eroding elbows. Unless to much water/meth in the stream. 

And ya this looks like the vortex generators, Tornadoes, I believe is what they were called when I use to work retail parts.  :noel:
