If this is true this would be awesome. www.picctv.com/usatoday. I could save a fortune in gas.
Up to 4.09 a gallon here and only going higher. This idea sounds like it would work or am I to gullible to think this is the cure all for gas? What do you think?

 

Nothing pulls up off that link but id venture to say whatever it is wont work. If these schemes worked like pumping water into your intake etc for better milage, dont you think it would be more mainstream? These ideas have been around for years and have never caught on...

 

This is a major HOAX or evil RIP-OFF. No Dodge 318 has ever averaged 22mpg while pulling a van up a 30% grade at 65mph for an hour. Crap, if we were getting that level of performance now we wouldn't be complaining at all

Also, A catalytic converter uses the heat of the exhaust to get the elements inside it hot enough to cause the effect that breaks down "hydrocarbins", not unburned gas, so they can be burned before getting into the environment. The kind of heat they'd need to produce to get the converter to work would cause massive pre-detination and would probably destroy or seriously shorten the life of the engine. Our engines work because an explosion occurs above a piston and push it down which turns a crank. If the mixture is already burned up before getting into the cylinder how does the piston get acted on?

If I remember my high school chemistry, if you break down gas into it elemental parts it isn't technically gas anymore. Those elements were processed during refinement to make them combustable. If you seperate them back out they become non-combustable.

Officially, plasma is a highly heated state that is the result of having something massively heated. Where will the energy or power come from to plasmatize the gas? A Flux capacitor??

 

The automakers spend millions of dollars for 1 or 2 MPG increases. If this "technology" actually worked, it would have been implemented by every manufacturer in the world. Don't you think Chrysler, GM and Ford would love to be producing 50 MPG trucks?

The big three have completely revamped theirtruck engines over the last few years, doing everything they can to minimize internal engineresistance and maximize combustion efficiency. If they could have simply bolted on some other piece of equipment, they wouldhave.

 

I think he was talking about this

There are a ton of claimed mpg savers on the market.

Like said, if they actually worked, the big car companies would be using them.

 

Sorry guys I don't know how to copy and paste too well. Yes Voodoo that is the site that I was thinking about. Epegasus, if you look at the pic of that new cat it looks like the heat to make the plasma would be coming from the exhaust pipe.As the fuel is entering the cat it gets heated by the exhaust. I don't really know,maybe I'm just hoping for a miracle to my gas problem. I love my truck but I'm going broke just driving to work. Seems like I work just for gas and taxes nowadays.

 

if this was only true!!!!....that has to be the biggest scam i've ever read

 

what ever happened to those guys on here that were trying the water induction system? Two or three of them said they were going to do it, did anyone ever show PROVEN results?

 

Yeah, I noticed that but the problem is you really don't want a heated mixture going into the engine.

Think about this. Spark plugs supply a plasma like heat to the fuel mixture to explode it. This system will simply cause the mixture to explode before it is where it needs to be in order to move the piston. I did the rough math and figured out that even very inefficient engines still burn over 85% of the fuel mixture in the cylinders. The remaining 15% is not enough to give a 50% increase in mileage.
