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 wedge focuses 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 Assume That They Grow And Consume A Little Weed In Northern Wisconsin!!
