Bill if you read the page you will read that it is definately CO2 AND 
Nitrogen.

How it works

It simply works on pressure. 

The new Floating Draught System
is designed in the shape of a ball
which floats inside the can and
can be heard moving around when
pouring. 

Before the Floating Draught
System is placed inside the can, it
is filled with the recommended
nitrogen/CO2 mix for dispensing
GUINNESS on Draught. 

When opened, the Floating
Draught System is set into motion.
This creates a gentle spinning
action which releases the gas. The
result - a great tasting pint of
GUINNESS that you have
experienced in a pub.

At this exact moment in time 4/23/00 9:13 PM, millerb@netusa1.net made 
the profound statement:
