Snake Oil Thread


Recommended Posts

Posted

I remember falling out with the boss man from ecoflow about his claims of a 5% or more improvement in fuel consumption from cable tying a magnet to your fuel pipe . I explained that the big manufacturers would spend billions developing a new engine for a 5% gain and that if his shit worked they could buy his company with their loose change . He just couldn't get his head around it !

 

Nearly as good as telling the walker exhaust rep that his exhausts were shit and that a running joke in the trade is that the stickers last longer than the silencer they are stuck to .

That was the ones from the mini show,the same bloke sells these things that go in line with the coil lead on the HT side to give a bigger spark. I tried one as the demo appeared to work,but promptly burnt out my ignition system.

Did we already talk "Brown's gas" ?

This kit is for vehicles up to 7000cc engine capacity.

Junkman, go for it!!!!

 

"It increases the motor engine nearly  %10-20"

 

Will it still fit under the hood then...?

 

It cleans the motor and avoids the new institutions.

 

no more tickets?

 

The maintenance and service costs of the car are reduced by %50.

 

comes with ebay rebate coupons?

 

It increases the life of the engine oil twice.

 

sure that is needed with an increased engine

 

It is environmental, ensures complete combustion and toxic gases emerging from the exhaust to 0% decreases.

 

Really?

 

Our country economy would be saving billions of dollars and millions of tons of fuel. Our country will have reach to prosperity and spacious. We will support our economy. We will be preparing more powerful and safety years.

 

and how about my country?

 

Dealers do not evaporate

 

That is reassuring.

 

When you make change in water in 10.000km, it will be enough for you 60b miles.

 

how about A miles?

 

The gas coming out vehicle goes to the appliance store.

 

and then what, THEY sell MY gas?

 

plastic dinner is no harm in general

 

i would seriously question this!

 

Bub advise you to stay away from non-hydrogen system device.

 

Thanks Bub!

Precisely!!! That sums it up exactly in two sentences as to why these miracle cures/devices are basically bollocks.

Here's some really hard core snake oil - see below how to run your lawnmower off vegoil vapour. It's all about plasma, not smegma.

 

 

 

All explained beautifully here,

 

 

 

Or from the horse's mouth here,

I think there was simply an air gap in the lead which forced the coil to work harder, so making a brighter spark. I'd say 99% of amazing new inventions to make your engine faster and more efficient are along these lines, but how believing are you Autoshiters in the Pogue carburettor which appeared in the 30s?

What really sells it for me is the pigeon English pseudo science.

A testimonial from the Very Impressive Products website blurb::

 

Mitsubishi Evolution IX – Stephen Ko

 

"After the Engine Booster was fitted on the car, the engine sound immediately changed and the response was much quicker. After I added the Power Booster, it was even more surprising! Not only has the response of the car been further improved, but also the whole chassis has become more stable and firmer. Everything is different. I also notice the previous buzzing sound from the engine is now gone. It is miraculous!"

 

I think Stephen Ko meant to say after he added the Chassis Booster the chassis became more stable. Unless their engine booster has a secondary effect on the chassis, as it lines up stuff with other stuff.

Posted

Have you seen where you install the Chassis Booster? It goes in the door pockets. The spec sheet is one hundred percent bollocks, Euphoria Technology and Proton Vibration Alignment Fields my arse.

Posted

Yup, couldn't be any more bollocks if it was wrapped in a leather scrotal sac and hung between the hind legs of a bull!

 

Euphoria technology...

Proton Vibration Alignment Fields.

I guess we all* want to know: do these work on J-reg Protons?

Posted

Only if it has a nasty dose of vibrating protons.

If it makes an Evo IX ride even firmer then I suspect that you would be turned to gelatinous gloop the first time you drove over the slightest imperfection in the road surface.

Some good and justified stuff here.  Might be worth having a positive thread on the awesome stuff out there.  I am thinking Waxoyl, G3 (powerful T cut), molyslip (sorry - it is good stuff), and perhaps some more?
