Also, the website lists an extensive C.V. for "Dan Jones" who
http://www.thecirculator.com/about_us.phpalong with other highly-skilled engineers have worked diligently over several years to bring to you this most significant item for your swimming pool. The patented "One and Only" Circulator is a modern marvel that will give you up to 1500% more circulating power, saving you time and money for the healthy life of your pool.
This C.V. lists three technical articles which "Dan" is supposed to have written:
Now, the second two articles are unknown to Google. That doesn't prove that they are fabricated, but it's not a good sign. However, it's the first article that's the 'coffin nail'; it exists, and can be found on DTIC.ml, http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a091300.pdf . So what's the problem? Take a look at this image of the title page:"Gas Flow Resistance Measurements Through Packed Beds at High Reynolds Number", Transactions for the ASME: Journal of Fluids Engineering, Presented at International Fluids Conference-Paper No. 83-FE-8, June 1983.
"Numerical Determination of Surface Temperatures for In-Depth Thermocouples" Presented at 19th International Thermal Physics Conference, Snowmass, Colorado, Paper No. AIAA-84-1763
"Composite Millimeter Wave Radome For Mach 4+", Presented at the 5th DOD Electromagnetic Windows Symposium, Boulder, Colorado, October 1993.
Notice anything? Here's a clue: no "Dan Jones".
There's more, and I've archived all the data I found, along with the copy of the entire website as of 2Aug2012. But I think this is enough.
