How Reliable is the Jet Fan?

Coanda Crazy...The "Coanda Effect"

Does this pan out with anyone?

This means that the average velocity at any point in the Coanda jet is higher than in a conventional jet at the same distance from the slot. It follows then that the pressure is lower at any comparable distance from the slot and the momentum and mass flow are higher at the same points.

Just like any other impeller?

Anybody stupid enough to say "our fans never stall" (as in your first link) is at best a marketing consultant, and probably a crackpot.

I didn't bother to read the any further.

You mean this quote?

Hovercraft require high volume air flow at moderate pressures. The "Jet Fan" can provide higher pressure when needed such as in heavy seas as it does not stall due to fluctuating back pressure, and it also occupies less space.

The business plan looks rather snake-oil like, but I'd hate to let science fall victim to bad marketing.
