Inventor Jay Harman, CEO from Pax Scientific, used this archetypal shape from nature to design a “frozen whirlpool," useful as either the rotary part of a machine or as a pump. It can stir 10 million gallons of water with a couple of light bulbs worth of power. Today, Harmon’s design keeps hundreds of water storage tanks in the U.S. and other countries clean without the use of chlorine or other chemicals. This same design is also to be implemented on fans to swirl effortlessly, saving an enormous amount of the word's electricity. Watch the video, you will be amazed.
