Electric Field Boost to Fuel Efficiency
A physics professor at Temple University in Philadelphia has developed a simple device that can improve fuel efficiency by as much as 20%.
The device consists of an electrically charged tube that can be attached to the fuel line to an engine and powered from the battery. The device creates an electric field that reduces the viscosity of the fuel so that smaller droplets are injected into the engine. This results in cleaner combustion and improved efficiency.
Six months of testing in a diesel powered Mercedes Benz demonstrated an improvement in fuel consumption from 32mpg to 38mpg. It is expected that further improvements in the device will lead to even higher mileage figures.
