monkie Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 This popped up as an ad on my Facebook. I had to click on it through disbelief as I can't understand why people buy this stuff with an expectation it will work 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkie Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) That's a good point Ralph. One of my old house mates years ago actually paid good money for a magnet that clamps round the fuel pipe and claimed to reduce your fuel consumption by aligning the molecules Edited December 1, 2019 by monkie Extra info 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkie Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 I also find the "turbo" that runs from the cigarette lighter socket quite humorous. Again I knew of someone who paid for one of those too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynic-al Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 If she's buying it, I'm buying it! I get loads of adverts popping up on Facebook with things worth thousands being sold for $100, postage from far away lands. I want to click buy just to see what turns up! The importer is responsible for the quality, safety and performance of the item, if you but direct from abroad you're the importer 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugger all Ralph. The premise of those devices was that they align the fuel molecules using magnetic field. Fuel is almost exclusively a mixture of non polar organic molecules utterly unaffected by magnetic fields no matter how strong. I think the reason people buy in to these things is that a small fuel saving effect is so hard to reproducibly prove that people selling this tat can get away with backing up their products with some extremely dodgy science! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Civilisation has destroyed natural selection. 😇 Mo I think we need a design of fuel saving device that merely pumps exhaust gasses into the HeVAC - anyone stupid enough to buy these sorts of devices deserves something along those lines, and the rest of us deserve them to buy it too.
