It works the same as a turbo by twisting the air going into your engine and making it more dense, therefore causing better and more efficient combustion reslting in improved performance and fuel economy.


What do u guys think? :lol:

it does not work the same as a turbo, a turbos function is to compress air, not to swirl it.

*holds back roaring laughter*

Here's a basic concept: You cannot make more power out of nothing. How can you compress air, without a compressor? It's simply not possible.

speaking of sarcasm...

this is a quote from the official website
Typical range of improvement over baseline is:
0 to 35 increase in horsepower,

0 to 31% increase in fuel economy.


(Actual performance may vary, depending on type of car, driver, and actual driving conditions.)

I can see it now... Thousands of disgruntled customers writing in saying they received no benefits.... They say back "Well, were you driving on the moon?"

"No?"

"Two words: Driving conditions.... Driving... Conditions.... I bid you good day"

Don't Dyson vacuum cleaners use this same design?

So buy one of these and make you car into a vacuum...


hmmm... there maybe something in this since on the Dyson the idea is to create some sort of central vortex which actually encourages the flow of air....
