Default Trap Primer

I'm told there is a device for installation in floor drains that eliminates the need for a trap primer. Lets water in but no sewer gases out. Is there such a thing?

Another system is made by DRANJER

Another system has a small rubber ball that is held up against a rim by a small spring to form an air seal. When water runs to sit on the ball, the extra weight allows the ball to sink a bit, allowing the water to drain. After the water drains, the balls rises to form the seal again.
