    Default Magic booster to improve fuel consomption??? does it works?

    eBay Seller: jpnona: Cars, Bikes, Boats items on eBay Australia

    Does someone know anything about alternator, electricity and battery?

    You just have to plug this to your battery and your engine will run better with a better fuel consomption.

    So??????

    yeah but it's like free. If you don't like it you just have to return and they give your money back (+ postage x2) so you don't loose anything except your time.

    I was on the way to buy one but I prefer to ask people who know before to be sure.

    If you want to save fuel you might want to try to make a fuel pre-heater. I hear they work pretty good.
    The idea is that warm/hot fuel atomizes far better than cold fuel thus combusting better.

    I would like to see someone make one with a trip computer and see what difference it makes. Question is, what sort of long term effect does this have on injector performance/life. Will they last longer or shorter?

    If you want to make one and test it that would be good info right there.

    here this will give you an idea.

    if it worked, then it would be fitted to cars from the factory. do you think manufacturers would spend millions of dollars on research and development for fuel economy when all they needed was a $40 device off ebay?

    this is how it works. you fit it to your car, and expecting good fuel economy, you subconsciously drive your car a bit slower than you normally do because your mind associates good economy with driving slow. you fill up, realise you got better economy, and think the device worked. in reality it is a placebo.

    This one is not a fake!!! and where are the manufacturers!!!

    Check it:

    I have seen car working with that system! More power, less polution and better consomption!
    You just need some materials and water, no more!

    that's why I ask the question for this little 40$ stuff. Who knows

    geet is a scam. if it wasn't, everyone would be running the system. he provides the instructions for free anyway. if it's so simple and easy then why don't you have one on your car right now?

    I didn't do it because I don't have tools and time to do it. And alone it's not so easy!!
    And it works fne on little/simple engine but on a V6 fuel injected, I don't now.
    It's still a prottotype.

    Anyway, that 's not the question there. For this "magic booster" I should perhap's post on the general forum and not only there and ask people who have knowledges about battery, alternator and electricity. An engineer could know the answer.

    It is made with 100% japanese best grade electronic parts (It is designed like a big electronic part)
    Really they build electronic parts to look like electronic parts. Modern technology at its finest.

    This unit suits for all cars and motorbikes with a battery of 6-12 volt. (Gasoline, LPG, diesel)
    My battery sits on 12.4V, and has 14.4V when car is running. WHAT WILL I DO DAMMIT!


    So it connects the positive and negative of your battery, LOL I can see that going bad. I once had my spanner touch both terminals at once, and my hand can attest to that generating a lot of electricity.

    Yeah me too. I know this should have some effect on combustion as this is a thing based on the old carby days.
    lol remember when you would pump the carby while the engine was hot while off and looking down the carb. I remember hearing the fuel boil away and turn into pure fog. so I am guessing fuel coming out of the injectors at 90oC
    would atomize pretty much instantly as appose to a mere 25oC or so. A custom tune maybe need to maximize the benefits as fuel becomes less dense from expansion due to heat.

    you've just linked me to a french video that i can't understand that shows the completed system. a completed system does not mean it works. anyone can say anything by spewing a bit of guff that other people don't understand and get it on tv, they showed no evidence at all that it actually worked (except for 2 rags, one dirty, one clean. that's not evidence). how about you link me to some hard scientific evidence from a reputable source that proves that it works? you can't, because the only 'scientific' evidence proving it works was conducted by the creators of the product.

    if it worked, everyone would be talking about it, and everyone would have one. but not one single person on any of the car forums i am on has this system. if i could save as much fuel as they say the system does, i would be making the time and getting the tools to put it into my car, and i'm sure other people would too.

    up to you mate, this topic is about this "magic booster" not about the systen I just showed you for your interest!!!

    The pantone sytem is a fuel pre heater! You don't use water as propellant

    If you are a bit curious, you will find plenty of website and people with this system in their car but like I said it's still a prototype that works fine for little engine without EFI. You"re just one more sheep that believe the gvt, the car's manufacturers and the oil producer. Do you think these people are happy to see your vehicule can work better with FREE water that means less tax for the gvt, less money for the manufacturers (no more cat in your car!! for example), and even worse for the oil producter.

    To finish, the pb in France is your are not insured if you have this system in your car!!!! And that's a BIG PROBLEM!!! Imagine you have an accident where your are not responsible. If someone died you will pay until the rest of your life!!

    Other example, cars working with frying oil!! this one is quite famous too. And same pb you are not allowed to drive with this fuel otherwise police can arrest you and give you a big fine!

    Now if you have some scientific knowledges about my topic you are welcome.

    What a crock of crap. If you look at the ebay sale it's a matter of undong the termail screws and attaching the item to each termal and screwing it back on. It also say 2 minute job. I find it hard to believe you don't have a tool (besides yourself) that will undo the battery terminals and 2 minutes of your time.

    I don't understand you ask for advice then argue when people say it's crap.

    It reminds me of the bloke at work who asked the financial controller if the 10000 $$ he was about to invest was a scam. It was advised it was a scam. The guy went ahead with the 10000$ racing investment and lost 10000$. It amazed me how he swore black and blue it wasn't a scam even up to the day he found he lost is money.

    I say just be done with it and buy it and not waste forum space arguing why should. I find your posts on the subject all over the shop.
