I don't have much doubt that the shape of the ring actually amplifies 
airflow. And airflow is probably not as chopped up.

However, I think that there is small functional difference between a 
fan-blade and what is used in the impeller. It all boils down to rotating 
structures pusing air molecules forward. I expected something >new<.

And I really doubt that cleaning the impeller is easier than cleaning a fan.
