Fuel Saver - Is this a gimic?

[BillyC]

I am astounded... what a load of...

If anything, it's a placebo, making you think of your fuel economy, driving more smoothly, and you'll save loads of juice if you change your driving style - unless you're already efficient of course!

SO yea, at first glance this strokes me as a gimmick

Save fuel by accelerating smoothly, keeping your throttle movments minimal and use the right gear for the given situation

A quote that is incorrect:



Ummm.....no. The term "Hydrocarbon" is a bit of a catch-all catagory refering to compounds with both carbon and hydrogen in them; more specifically, compounds with ONLY carbon and hydrogen with them (at least, thats what I would take hydrocarbon to be). For example, the principle component of petrol, Octane (8 carbon atoms and 18 hydrogen atoms).

What you said is pretty simple to understand...

It works by a process of the Unobtanium in the snake oil reacting with the boswellox in the tyres to create an ostekazoozelum flux in the dynamic range of the flange adjustment...

I think watch dog tested this AGES ago and said it was complete S**t... Thats got to be 5 years since.

Hydrocarbon molecules that cluster and grow causing molecules to be trapped from air during the combustion.

Yes because that can happen when they are a vapour! HA HA HA HA. HA HA HA. HA HA HA. Only way to make the air fuel mix better is to do head/TB design better.

Anyone else noticed the biggest missing bit? Magnets need IRON! How is 8 Oxygen and 18 Carbons Iron? LMAO.

Good Morning! Mr Matt Tucknott, MChem (hons) here!!

there is a mythbusters on it... all fake

there are so many of these gimmicks around. You cant help but laugh at the supposed 'science talk' they use.

Good drills on the supercontuctor matt, i take it you made some in your degree?

not really, depends what you want to do with the magnet.

I think the cooler things run = better conductor is fairly common knowledge? hence why computers are kept "cool" and to super clock a computer you need to cool with Liquid nitrogen

What else can magnets work on?

I use cheese in my engine.

How do you think a generator/altanator works?

magnets can work on pretty much everything, its just depends what you're trying to do with the magnets. yes, ferrous materials are needed for magnets to stick to it, but there are other uses for magnets eg MRI scanners, NMR (uses same principles) etc
