Also the viewpoint of someone who's looking at it "on paper", so to speak..They haven't installed one themselves (at least, they never say they have)..Whether or not the science is correct, thus far, my experiment is working..an extra 10 amps of load on the alt isn't even going to come close to affecting gas mileage in a noticeable amount..If you really ride the throttle hard, you're still gonna drink gas..They're right about one thing, you can't produce large enough quantities of whatever is making it work, to meet the demands of an engine thats running at a higher rpm..with occasional wailing of the throttle (usually a few times a day), I see enough of an improvement in "cruise" ranges to make up for it, I've passed the mileage point where I usually start REALLY worrying about running out of gas, and my needle is still at the half tank mark (or I'm in for a very frustrating, coincidentally bad timed malfunction of my fuel gauge)..Although, I'm going to have a small problem getting any more accurate results, as the pump I was using is now non-functioning..It was my old aquarium air pump, and had developed a bit of a "hiccup" before i retired it from aquarium use, it now no longer pumps air..

Sounds like the batteries for my camera are about charged, and the raid has stopped for the moment, so I'll go take a couple pics.

I don't understand something. Isn't the carb metered to provide a certain amt of fuel for a qty of air? Are you saying it requires less throttle to cruise? If this is the case then while idling down the street in normal mode and then you turn it on, it ought to make the vehicle go faster without any throttle, right?

if you can hold a steady throttle, flip the switch for the tank, and power up the pump, then yes, in a few seconds the RPM changes a little, but its not like accelerating, its more like you were carrying 500 extra lbs in the bed, and someone just threw that weight out 100 lbs at a time..

Sorry guys, been too busy lately to check in on this thread but glad to be seeing some results... how about MPG? Any kind of numbers yet?

And sorry Vile, that one scientific post poo-pooing the whole concept was way over my head.... which reminds me of something...

I never said you couldn't do it. It just doesn't work.

I have been researching this here lately myself, I am interested but would need a definitive "Plan of Assembly" and parts list...

I'm game.

I have some magnets you can stick on your fuel line to re-align the molecules to burn better in combustion rather than sticking together like lazy little hydrocarbons.

I have a piece of foil you can put in your air cleaner that will act as a vorticie inducer and create a tremendous increase in eceonomy also. I think I'll call it the Tornado!

I also have an additive you can put in your crankcase that will allow you to run with hardly any oil. Heck you can even spray water on your engine and it won't quit!

I also have these really cool sunglasses that allow me to see through womens clothing.

A guy like me has it all I guess!  ;)

By ALL Laws of nature, and physics a helicopter can't fly either. But here where I work, we know they fly on a daily basis.

That's a dorky scientific myth just like bumblebee's can't fly and proven false. By all means run your expiriment and prove all the skeptics wrong.

Vile,
I'm not trying to be a smart ass here but that comment was completely un-called for.....


Have a nice day

 ??? What comment are you referring too? That it's a dorky scientific myth? Sorry if I offended you, perhaps you misread or misinterpret what I wrote. I don't know how that would have though unless you are a scientist who is dorky and if that's the case I humbly apologize.  :D Either way I wasn't talking down at you I just happen to know of the scientific myths of flight that you are referring to. My best friend is a dorky scientist who we always talk about useless stuff like that.

I think they cracked that one.  LOL.  Check this out sometime if you are curious.
