Magnetised Air flow

[fabianyee]

Got a few strong magnets and stuck it onto the air pipe between the AFM and the throttle body.

In theory, it's supposed to polarise the air molecules entering the combustion chamber and mixes better with the petrol molecules.

I wasn't expecting any results from the 'experiment' but i was surprised the next day when I felt the engine have better response between 2000rpm to 4000rpm. The power comes earlier and smoother.

I guess it worked... As for fuel consumption, will report on that in a couple more week's time after the DME got used to it. If history repeat itself, the fuel consumption drop everytime I fiddle with something which improved the power delivery and then slowly it goes back to normal without losing the power.

I vote for the placebo effect, but i've been suprised before...

Riiiiight.

post more pics of ur intake setup.
Intresting mod.

And the air is magnetized how? :roll:

Maybe you should put one of those magnetic health bracelets on your intake manifold instead It would promote a healtier engine

Do you have any scientific experimental documentation to back up this claim?

snake oil, lol

I'm actually very curious about knowing if this is for real, it sounds interesting.

some people just fucking amaze me.

You are almost as dumb as him Josh.

Not because I want to do it, I just wanted to know if it was for real. Give me some fucking credit.

If ANYTHING, look at it from the most rudimentary fashion possible...


everyone understands like dissolves like, right?

i.e. water and oil don't mix.

water is a polar molecule, oil is nonpolar.

Octane is a nonpolar molecule. If you polarize the air, guess what will happen?


but the whole concept is re-fucking-diculous to begin with.

hmmmmm....

In the domestic V8 scene people have been putting magnets around FUEL lines for YEARS -- not air intakes.

I think you are the kinda guy that would buy Cross Drilled Brake Lines

that i could believe.
