hi guys,
Have a look at his site & let me know what you think? Is it just a gimmick - anyone actually used this thing? going for R180 on bidorbuy.co.za - about US$20.

Never heard of it.
Anything I take from the web comes with a barrow load of salt, and I get a little worried when the english is poor.

The page doesent show any form of objective repeatable evidence to substantiate the claims, so again a bit concerned.

You can probally file this into the electric supercharger, and the intake swirlers catagory of internet rubbish.

Mind you for about $20 US its not a big investment, and if it doesent work, you dont really lose much.

US$20 in Zimbabwe is probably a lot of money.

Don't waste your money on it !!

These things double their effectiveness when coupled with a half flat tyres and an energy polarizer.

Your surely not considering buying this automotive miracle? (for only $20) and it's from Zimbabwe!?!?
Then again, if you buy one $20 would probably feed Mugabee for a week or the population for a day!

I think you hit the nail on the head there.
If the engineers who are paid far too much money to spend gazillions of someones elses dollars dont use it, then "perhaps", just perhaps its not much good.

i didint think about how much $20US is in ole Zim'. Yeah it probally is heaps.

Magnetic fuel economizers were very, very popular back around 1975 -- during the original Fuel Crises. They actually work by making the driver feel good. They don't however save any fuel. If they did, you would see them on new Toyotas as they are always looking for ways to increase fuel economy. Toyota just redesigned all their engines for 5% fuel increase, if magnets would do the same why didn't Toyota just do that?
