I've just returned from the Dorset Steam Fair. You wouldn't believe just how many trumped up uses a magnet has. It'll stop all sorts of bodily ailments. Purify water in taps and make the fuel in your car burn more efficiently. It will also make heating oil burn hotter and clean Fe particles out the water in the system.
Out of all these magnificent claims, only the latter is true. There's huge amounts of money being made, all on a claim and nothing else.

we got plenty of salesman in the office claiming all sorts of things when fitting them to boilers , seems that if u interrupted there sales pitch they lost track and was totally lost

agree there is some serious money being made of something that makes a great place to store ur paper clips

the magnets that are put into heating systems work extremely well by catching a lot of the magnatised junk

a lot of boiler manufacturers insist on fitting inline magnets for there combi boilers to help reduce scale build up in there flat plate exchangers as part of the warranty , the canister magnets that I clanged out every year was normally full of junk and suprising in how well they worked

the junk magnets were yellow if I remember that were fitted to the gas line

Hey - Don't knock it ////

What about the 12V supercharger fans !!!.. amazing ....

About as logical and sensible (to the totally uneducated masses of diminished IQ punters) as the audacity and blatant lies of the people advertising 'DOUBLE YOUR FUEL MPG' !!! (ECO REMAPS _ SAVE FUEL - HUGE SAVINGS) etc.
They should be locked up and banned from any form of blatant LYING ! - semi legal because nobody complains and the gullible punters have absolutely no way of judging or interpreting the results. It follows if the punter is so absolutely dim witted and has IQ in single digits that they have been misled into believing the hype, they are also ALWAYS totally incapable of interpreting the results.
A travesty perpetuated by snake oil dealers and con men.

This could almost be a quote from an ECO remap ....................................

Function:

install this turbine on the soft intake pipe, when start engine normally, it will driven wheel disc rotating at high speed according to the inertial force by the engine intake of natural space. It will bring lots of fresh air while rotating continuously into the engine. At the same time it will force the air into vortex and mix the high-speed rotation air with the fuel sprayed by fuel injector. Also can improve the air density in the pipe, greatly increase theefficiency ofthe mixedgas, will cause an explosive power in combustion to enhance the power of theeffect

Installation:

1. Find the intake pipe between the original car bellows and throttle valve
2. Inset the propeller fan into the pipe and slide it in
3. This item send with 3 rubbercollars in different size, choose the suitable one to install according to the diameter of the intake pipe

I've seen those. What a crock of ****e.
Have you seen the electric supercharger that's available. This thing apparently has the ability to charge the intake of a 2.5L engine, yet draws only 10 Amps. Yeah right. To charge something like a 2.5L KV6. The supercharger needs to use about 40 Bhp. How you get 40 Bhp of power from 120 Watts, I fail to understand.

Errr


Bump


Cough

eBay is a continuous source of hilarity... http://mgf.ultimatemg.com/group2/engines/dodgy_stuff/index.htm

That's probably only scratching the surface

Should I not get an electric supercharger and Eco remap on my L Series then ???

might not be able to take the massive increase in power
