What was that gadget thing?

[synchiropi]

Sometime ago somebody posted this neat cool gadget. It was an impeller, where the motor was magnetically coupled from the outside, through the glass. Does anybody remember the company or site? I would like to get a couple of these once available.

So I can think of many advantages, mainly no risk of current leaking, no heating up, no suction cups failinig, easy mobility. What about the disadvantages? Maybe a little bit risky if somebody pulls the cord (sorta unstable), but what else?

Thanks as usual

Hehe, looks like I got most of the benefits right. I just hope they are not expensive or I'll have to do a benefit party or raffle my car.
