Default RE: Bending the prop tips at 90 degrees

Would this be an attempt to put a Hoerner tip on each of the 'rotating wings' on the prop? Such tips reduce the vortex losses, increase efficiency, etc. on aircraft wings, and maybe the proponents' rationale is that Hoerner tips would benefit a prop as well.
