Looking at their ad, a few comments seem in order.
1) Looks like snake oil.
2) Looks like it uses so-called 'caduceus coil' windings, in which overlapping windings cross perpendicularly to each other, perhaps in opposite directions. Strange things are said to happen with caduceus coils. Fields cross in wierd phase, and suddenly at that, but only magnetic fields.
3) But it's certainly not CFA. No E-field generator source. Remember, CFAs are unique in that two exitation sources combine to produce crossed fields (though it has been argued that all antennas are indeed CFAs -- details, details...)
4) No patent number, no reference to any particular technique, and I wouldn't bet on their 30 day guarrantee.
But if anyone has tried this beast, I'd sure like to know.
