That's no oversimplication. A pressure drop is a pressure drop. Kinda like "HHO is a Scam" isn't an oversimplification. It's the truth.

Now, if you use a turbine to capture the energy of that pressure drop, then you'd be onto something.

Turbulance schmurbulance. That's why the "tornado" air intake dohickey we all remembered works so well. A third year mechanical engineering student learns that it doesn't take much to disrupt laminar flow. You don't have to induce turbulance - it's already there, I promise.
