As Tony Robbins says, you don't have to know how electricity works; all you need to know is how to flip the switch to get the light to come on. How many people can explain how a picture shows up on the TV screen? (The correct answer is NOT by pressing the On button.) Aspirin would not be approved by the FDA today yet millions of people take it every week?
Yet, when it comes to a fuel saver, there are numerous people who insist on the need to understand how it works and see it approved by some government agency before believing a Vortex Fuel Saver might actually work. Vortex would suggest it is much easier to just try it out and see the results for yourself (we do have a 90-Day, 100% Money Back Guarantee and free demonstrations for fleets). Or read some of the numerous accounts of testing performed or testimonials from actual users.
For the very technical, Vortex would also suggest reading additional information in the Academic Study section, otherwise, here is a layman's explanation:
You
can probably remember playing with magnets and figuring out like
charges (positive to positive, or negative to negative) repelled each
other while the opposite charges were attracted to each other --
"opposites attract." The Vortex Fuel Saver system utilizes this simple concept in a very elegant design to increase fuel mileage.
Fuel
molecules naturally have a self affinity for one another causing them
to group together, resembling a cluster of grapes. When a like charge
is added to the fuel (any hydrogen based fuel) it causes the molecules
to repel each other -- separating them from the cluster into individual
molecules. If a "grape cluster" of fuel molecules enters the
combustion chamber, the "grapes" on the outside get burned while the
ones on the inside may only get partially burned. Additionally,
Vortex adds magnets to the air line of the opposite charge, thus the
fuel and air are attracted to one another to create the ideal air/fuel
ratio.
Incomplete combustion doesn't allow the maximum amount of benefit from the fuel. More
complete combustion results in additional energy. If your driving
habits stay the same, this extra energy is reflected in increased miles
per gallon. Alternatively, the extra energy could be consumed by an
increase in horsepower if calling upon the vehicle to drive
faster/carry an additional load. Typically, the extra energy results
primarily in increased fuel mileage, though many users report their vehicle(s) have some extra peppiness, and most people notice a
smoother ride.
Undesirable emissions from your vehicle can be simply stated as unburned fuel -- more complete combustion decreases pollution. In
a typical automobile engine, not all of the fuel is combusted in the
engine. The unburned fuel is emitted into the air as harmful emissions. This
incomplete combustion wastes fuel and contributes to air pollution. The numerous tests presented showing emissions reductions prove more complete combustion, and hence, increases in MPG, as they are opposite sides of the same coin.
Disclaimer:
Mileage and savings may vary due to age and condition of engine,
equipment, roads and driving habits. Fluid conditioning claims are
suggestive based on pre-patent research, reviews of the literature and
state of the art.
