Hate to break the bad news, but the technology used in these hydrocaps
DOES work and is based on sound engineering principles.

They are kind of spendy though.

some people are just too cynical :-)

Hydrocaps were also used in the manned submersible arena for a long
long time and were mentioned in Frank Busby's Manned Submersibles
book (pg 325) which was published in '76 ... so they've been around
for quite some time.
