This brings to mind the Cow Magnets used to increase mileage in
cars/trucks in the 70's when there was a fuel crisis. I tried an
experiment with my car about a year ago (yes, an experiment!) when
traveling from VA to SC (about 540miles). On the way down I tested
my fuel economy as 28mpg, and did about 70mph concervatively.
On my return trip, I taped two elongated magnetic (poles repelling)
around the rubber fuel line hose going to the carborator (fuel injectors).
On this return trip I ran the car harder, did 75 to 80, and obtained
33 mpg on average. I still have them taped on my car.. and get around
the same mileage (~30mpg city/hwy driving). Not really scientific but
seemed to give positive results... (-:
So, do you think it did a bond angle change to the gasoline molecule -
which is enormously huge? Who know what it did/did not do - but
my car runs fantastic... it's a 93 Camry 4 cyclinder but I swear it
runs like a 6. Easily excellerates into the higher speeds effortlessly.
When I was a kid... I really got into some bad things. I had this VW
that I would tinker with all the time. I obtains the patient for the Poge
carborator that got 200mpg. So I set out to experiment with a design.
I cut a hole into the fire wall and set a gas can inside behind the back
seat. To this, I had a tube running from the top of the tank to the
carborator intake, such that all the air intake would come from the
gas can.... pure vapor. I added a air filter also to the gas can to
allow the air to pass through the tank. The VW engine started without
any problem - just on the fumes. The vapor pressure was lowered
in the gas tank to let fumes easily come off. Just one problem...
the gas tank got colder and colder and soon the vapor was not
enough to keep the engine running. So my next step was to somehow
heat the gas (regulated somehow) and this would keep the vapor
coming off. I was working at the time at McD's and was taking a
female worker to work with the tank hooked up - VW running...
but when I picked her up, the VW would not start. So I unhooked
the vapor tube to the carborator and hooked the fuel line back up.
Down the road we went.. and all of a sudden... BOMB... flames
shot out the back seat and we stopped by the side of the car
and watched it burn up.
So the experiment never really got finished, and I was out of an
experimental car.
