hmmm...doesn't seem feasible. something about that 150,000 volts, and creating ozone which is unstable....i forsee a large explosion OUTSIDE your engine

yeah, that would be great if it really works. Someone should send them an email or something and get a little better explaination. Seems TGTBT.

Ozone will eat up the rubber in your engine compartment like there's no tomorrow.

If it sounds too good to be true...

You would think if this thing really worked we would have heared about it by now. I mean the concept seems to be real but not all things alwas work out how we would like them to. Who is going to be the first person to try this thing out?

150,000 volts is feasible and can be safe. If you ever touch those electrically charged spheres that cause your hair to stand up then your touching something thats about 100,000 volts. voltage=potential energy/charge and those spheres have little charge resulting in high voltage.

If they can make devices small enough to be shoved in an airintake of a car and create ozone, they should try fixing our ozone layer too.

The volume of ozone that a unit small enough to fit in a car will provide will be negligable. I have a benchtop industrial model in my lab that provides on the order of 20 mL of ozone per minute. That particular instrument is about the size of three shoeboxes stacked on top of one another and weights on the order of 25 kilograms.

If you really want to go the chemical boosting route, rig up a direct injection system to spray unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide into your cylinders at TDC. That will produce one hell of a bang. In reality that is about as feasible as the ozone injector.

It was a good catch though. I like the United Nuclear title, it almost sounds like a legitimate company, such as General Atomics.

Since O3 is a number one cause of pollution, theoretically couldn't enough people equip these on their vehicle and in one big stomp on the accelerator wipe out humanity as we know it? We don't need know steenkeeng oxygen!!
