Tornado, snake oil or does it work?

I've read several posts on this forum in which people say they use them. Do they increase fuel efficiency, increase hp or neither?

Real easy to understand. You don't want anything in the
airstream if you can help it!

The vortex demonstration is a joke. You cylinders have and
exhaust to let the air out! That is all the vortec demonstration
does is let the air out of the bottom bottle!

Poke a hole in the top of the bottom bottle and watch how fast
the water transfers from the top bottle to the bottom! Kinda like an exhaust valve!

Don't waste your money. A better air filter or a smooth tube intake would be a better investment. You won't loose any power!
