has anyone used the enco "fuel economizer"? It claims to improve fuel economy by up to 20% by separating large hydrocarbon molecules by some kind of electric current. I might be getting a job selling the things!

Spencer,
I think you last line of work was a little more honest than you will have to be to sell these "magic potions".

The patents department of an engine design company that I worked for was the first point of call for a multitude of inventors trying to get into the engine market with devices claimed to work wonders for the economy, emissions and/or power output of engines. These devices were always accompanied by very convincing 'test figures' or 'before and after' examples.
I cannot go into any specific cases for obvious reasons but I can say that not one of the devices we assessed lived up to the claims made for it.

If you compare the size of the magnet or whatever they use and those fitted to our NMR machine where I work (a device used to analyse chemicals), you'll notice a slight difference. An NMR machine weighs the best part of a ton, an most of this is the huge electromagnet required to generate the strong magnetic fields necessary. It's so strong that you can't go near the thing with a windy-up watch or it stops. There is no way you can affect ANY chemical with a tiny magnet they fit to these devices

P.S. I have been very successful in having two ads pulled from the Mail On Sunday - devices designed to clean ponds using the same kind of idea.

With or without magnets?
Seve Ballesteros swears by 'em - but look at HIS results these days!
