It is my intent to build one later on (of course it was also my intent to
build the TOMI2 device <g>).
Regarding the efficient use of gasoline.
I drive a truck for a living (but please don't stereotype me). I have on my
vehicle what the other drivers call an "air to air cooler". What basically
happens is air is forced through the turbo-charger into a radiator where it
is cooled and then brought back in to the engine. The theory is that cooler
air is denser air. If the system didn't work we wouldn't use it. As any
good trucker we'll tell you, the less you weigh empty, the more you can
haul.
This wasn't what I wanted to build. . .
I have been tinkering with the idea of superheated fuel for some time now.
The problems that have been raised with this idea are valid ones. Now let's
try a little twist on the idea. Where can we heat fuel to about 190 degrees
fahrenheit easily? If you said that was the water temperature your car runs
on you're correct. My idea: after the pump and before the carbuerator we
sever the soild fuel line leading in to the carb. In it's place we put a
fitting that slides in to the upper radiator hose. Something like a copper
wound coil travelling up and back. Insulate the line going back to the
carb. . . That will work once the car warms up. It's not superheated fuel
mind you, but it is considerably warmer than the gas in your tank. It's
also extremely easy to control. . .
Just a thought. . .
