At first glance I thought this was a fan to cool a subwoofer amp, but this is either the transducer, or they still have an April Fools joke page on their website.
Has anybody heard one of these?
Here is the website

From the website: On the other hand, the rotary woofer has enough acoustic output to move a open door back and forth .5” between 1 and 5Hz! It has enough output to find resonance frequencies of walls and ceilings in a room. It requires no equalization to achieve flat response to below 1Hz.
Eminent Technology’s founder, Bruce Thigpen has invented a new type of loudspeaker, The Thigpen rotary vane transducer (patent pending).
The transducers sound originates from rotating vanes or surfaces that change pitch in response to the audio input signal. The advantages are improved impedance match with the air, high potential conversion efficiency at low frequencies, low distortion, a very high theoretical limit for acoustic output with a small transducer, and infrasonic response to DC.
