These gaspods are streamlined shapes, so while they will still push a bit of air up and aside, it won't be much, and it'll be done fairly gently, allowing the air to return to where it was before ... so where would their claimed effect come from ?

The air that gets pushed up gets accelerated by the faster air. When it returns it accelerates the slower air. It may be less effective at re-energizing the boundary layer than other shapes but it does have less drag. Its a trade off. You can however use more of them to get the same effect.
