Power Boost??

[Seaking]

Ever see something like this before? Does it actually work or is it more gimmick than anything else?

I would just about bet that it's totally useless. Popular Science had an article about a year ago where they tested all the fuel saving devices on the market now and not a single one of them improved the mileage or performance and some actually did the opposite. I don't remember this particular device being tested but I would be that it will do nothing.

Do you believe in Magic?

I am with Don on this one. Sounds like an electric device from the past that was to cure your sleeplessness.

Same thing I thought. Anything with magic in the name, you can bet it's designed to magically remove money from your wallet.

Looks like nothing more than a capacitor that expands CCa's of the battery. Will it improve gas milage, and increase power? It might if the battery being used is old and marginal, but with the advent of high CCa AGM's I doubt it would do much good.

Thanks all.. at best I thought all it could do is clean up the power from the battery, akin to what an Un-interuptable Power Supply does for your computer..

 

But as Condor suggested, on a shyte electrical system it may show some improvement.. on a new system? prolly not..

 

thanks for your input..

 

Cheers

The power FROM the battery is as clean as clean gets. The power from the rectifier is another story.

Totally useless device. If its got good heavy leads and shorts out you'll know the meaning of

"lighting a fire under your @#@".

Wow the capacitor across the battery scam is back. I have not seen those since the late 80's.

 

I wonder when the magnets on the gas line scam are going to resurface.

 

 

Yes the device is a fake item, run away screaming.

I worked for a farm supply back then. It was amazing how many cow magnets I sold to the dealers.... :rotf:

Magnets on gas lines?? Explain how that one was supposed to work?

 

Magnets on oil filters or "mag plug" oil drain plugs, yes, those DO work..

 

But what was the supposed premise for the gas lines? lol

Here is a decent article and there is also a link to the EPA page where they tested over 100 devices. NONE worked. The magnet scam claimed that the "special" magnets somehow rearranged the gasoline molecules making combustion more complete.

Now THAT sounds like the FITCH fuel capsules lol.. drop a few of those in your tank and see what happens.. thanks for the link.. good read

i think i just saw elvis at the BURGER :bluesbrother:KING......just like squigley said they dont work !

I heard the magnets excited the molecules when taped to the gas line in a polar opposite position. And there is no such thing as area 51.....
