Dr. Von Gartland Head Of PDQ R&EVisited The Site

His Gaze Is Fixed On What???

You Guessed It Dr Von Gartland Has Found The Coanda Effect Nozzle

Don’t Laugh It Gets Better!!!

Dr. Von Gartland Says:

“Liquids and gasses accelerate when passing over convex surfaces. Within a Laserdri or Laserwind thruster cone, a football shaped wedgefocuses the trajectory and measurably accelerates the rushing air.

When that focused column hits the curved side of a vehicle, it again accelerates,drying cars all the way to the ground.”

Based On The Above I Think It Is Safe To AssumeThat They Grow And Consume A Little WeedIn Northern Wisconsin!!
