Hmm certainly interesting & relatively cheap. Guess it could be worth a try, but I haven't yet decided whether I'll be the first to try it :cool:

I think it's tosh. Try searching for the article "RAF, NASA & Magnetizers". It appears to be cobbled togther from other none related articles. You won't find much just searching for the title, but if you search for whole sentences from the article you will find it is made up of bits from several aricles.

This will probably work if you wear a copper bangle (as long as the bangle works for you)

I doubt it will do anything. The claims are far fetched and the scientific explanations suspect.

I wouldn't place much confidence in customer testimonials either. There is really no way they could possibly tell. The quantity of fuel a car uses depends on far too many factors to make any simple assessments. You would need a controlled environment where you knew all the variables.

This is the bit I like

The use of magnetic fields to improve the performance of combustion was reported as early as the 1940s. The U.S. Air Force used a device on their Mustang aircraft which allowed greater range and better performance from poor quality fuels. This proved very successful, and was subsequently used by the Royal Air Force on Spitfire and Hurricane aircrafts.

The devices used back then were very heavy and cumbersome as they had to use electromagnetism to produce the required strength of magnetic field.

Later, when I've had a few more pints I will be ready to believe that putting a "very heavy and cumbersome" device into a spitfire would give it "greater range and better performance"

It is amazing that such a scam even gets mentioned.

It also prevents baldness if worn overnight and is far more effective than viagra(remove before - er you know)

Absolutely, definately a scam. Fuel isn't magnetic, you can't line it up, if it was that good the manufacturers would fit them, etc etc.
These people make their business by people saying, 'it's not that expensive, I might as well try it'.

It does work if you wear a magnetic bracelet on the other wrist and only drive along the lines from magnetic S to magnetic N - honest !

This is an interesting thread where 2 representatives of different companies make claims about their magnetic products, then disappear when confronted by people who know what they're talking about:

Don't buy anything with 'magnet' in the product title unless it's preceeded by the word 'fridge'......
