Cratter Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Fact or Fiction? http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/4388435-nd-man-says-invention-could-double-vehicle-gas-mileage Quote "It's still going to have to fuel up all the time," he said, "but it's going to be able to drive four days on the same amount of fuel that it takes to drive one day today." He has seven patents, which is impressive. People have made claims like these for ages...Youtube is filled with them... Most (all?) are hoaxes...some featured on tv show "Mythbusters" or Dateline undercovers. Conspiracy theorists would say he should expect a knock on his door soon.

siouxforcefans Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 The difference in his scheme appears to be that he's capturing the wasted energy and reusing it. It's not efficiency on the front side so much as it is that inherent byproducts are being used after the fact, vs. lost. I'm not an engineer, but this is just what I gather. If I'm wrong, I look forward to learning something new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
