Does it work?

 

Hahaha... This has been discussed many times... well, it was discussed one time, but everyone always laughs and remembers that one discussion whenever someone new asks. In a word: No. If you want a more in-depth answer, I can point you to the old post.

GeoBau,
Could you? This guy at work told me and since I don't know much about cars I figure ask the experts. I like to keep my G stock (no major mods) and so I if it work it would be a good addition.

Thanks

 

No prob-- here the original discussion, and our follow-up. Now, go laugh at your friend at work [img]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/img]

It works as good as Snake Oil gives immortality...

Always look for the key words, like 'up to' or 'your actual may vary', etc. Sure on a poorly designed vehicle it might make difference, but for 98% of cars it will do squat or make things worse.

Just watch the stupid infomercial carefully or the <a href="http://www.tornadofuelsaver.com/">website</a>. Then think about it.

You'll get more hp by switching to synthetic headlight fluid.

 

hahahah

did you see my comments ... that was funny as hell.

WHERE THE HELL IS GUMP ?

hehahhaaha gawd that guy was hilarious.

You my buoyyyyy Gump!!

 

It works on old carburetor engines. Newer fuel injected engines can't benefit since the intake runners are designed so well from the factory. I have been acquainted with some of those ppl on the informercial, and they are not liars. But then again... the cars that these things were installed on were like 1988 chevy caprices and crown vic's.

 

That may be, but they don't really make that distinction in the advertising materials, do they?

Hey guys,

I havnt been around in ages but its funny to see all the exact same questions being asked.

Anyhow, from a fluid mechanics standpoint the "tornado" is really dumb.

For instance, air flowing in the tube has its highest velocity in the center of the tube and goes down to zero on the boundry layer against the tube. The tornado forces more air out of the center of the tube which has the highest velocity and the least resistance towards the outside walls.

The "swirl" effect of cylinder heads have a reason for the swirl, the air needs to be pushed towards the walls of the cylinder bore to create a better and more consistant mixture. The intake tubes have no reason for this "swirl" because its not doing anything except restricting the flow.

I should do a CFD on this to prove it but that would be a waste of time.
