Default Snake oil or new tech? (Pulstar plugs)

OK, did a search and couldn't find this discussed before:

All a little academic as they don't seem to have bike sizes on the main site, but had this advert pop up while looking at another site. So, snake oil to get you parting with your hard earned, or new tech leading the way in what's possible?

Anybody remeber the little glass cylinders full of small ball bearings that used to go in line in the HT circuit, worked on a simillar principle - storing charge and releasing it with more impetus. I seem to remember that they were tainted with snake oil as well. IMHO the principle seemssound but does it actually work, more to the po viz a viz cost/gains.int are they any better than say iridium plugs

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Like those electric 'superchargers'

A bit like the Isle of Wight ferry, I would say.

What a load of pants, what they are essentially describing is a circuit with inbuilt capacitance. oh, hang on a minute, don't we already have one of those in an ignition circuit...And to store that claimed amount of power in such a short space of time would take a whopping big capacitir, that would no way fit inot that package. Nice idea though.

On a similar "snake oil" like theme, has anyone seen these?

Now I'm pretty sure they're getting sued, mostly after admitting there were no magnetically charged particles in petrol....

Ok lets open this up, Best scam products! Post 'em up!
