Hi, just got back from Lincoln motorhome show what a fanstastic weekend, whilst there I came across a gadget for reducing fuel consumption on all types of vehicles, it was called the Sunpulse unit, is there anyone who has tried it and does it work ?
"Sunpulse Intelligent Electronic Car Equipment provides the electric source through your battery. The self-provided voltage can distinguish electric switch automatically. When the voltage is less than 12.6v, it cut out in order to protect your battery efficiently, therefore guarantees normal start up of the car. When the output voltage is no less than 12.4v, Sunpulse equipment will start up and produce a 1KHZ momentary impulse, and then enter into the working condition. Meanwhile, it can stabilize the impulse in a stable value, which is strong and concentrate and is also supplied to the ignition end of the spark plug stably. The impulse can make the atomized granules of Hydrogen separate and stop grouping for a better burn. It will also reduce the accumulation of the Carbon, Your engine will run cleaner, Increase the Torque,enhance the MPH and the MPG. Increase the running capability to a great extent."
Never read such a load of cobblers in my life.
If it can " . . . stabilize the impulse in a stable value, which is strong and concentrate and is also supplied to the ignition end of the spark plug stably." whatever that might mean , it ain't going to be much use in a diesel engine which doesn't have a "spark plug stably"!!
"Atomized granules of hydrogen"???? Where did they come from, or more to the point - what the heck are they??
This is probably the least believable scam I have ever seen. It wouldn't even fool Mrs Zeb!!!!
I see Mr Snake Oil is back peddling his wares to the gullible!

There is no scientific basis for the claims made by this unit. Any improvement in mpg following purchase is due to the 'Hawthorn Effect' (which actually HAS a scientific basis).
The Hawthorne Effect (Note smart-arsed spelling correction ) occurs quite unconsciously, so the subject is unaware that their behaviour is in any way different.
It therefore becomes very difficult to convince them that the Snake Oil is actually having no effect at all, but it is their sub-conscious behaviour change that is responsible for any "results".
In this case (for example) you spend a bundle on a patent, guaranteed remedy for increasing mpg - so you naturally want it to work.
You are therefore conscious of your desire to increase mpg for the next few trips, but quite unconscious of the fact that your driving technique has altered, and you are now accelerating more gently, cruising slightly slower, coasting to slow down rather than braking hard etc..
Whoopee - it's working!! Only it isn't!!
As you say, this has been demonstrated and proven many times, but it's still ever so easy to convince yourself that the Snake Oil works - if you want to believe it!!
