Hello experts,

I just found this on www.neuematerialien.de.
Regards,
Helmut.

Nano-additive are said to significantly reduce fuel consumption.

17.10.03: Scientists at Oxonica, a spin-off company from the University of Oxford, have developed an additive for diesel fuel that significantly reduces fuel consumption and also reduces environmental impact, as fewer nitrogen oxides are released into the atmosphere through exhaust gases. The additive, called Envirox, consists of cerium oxide particles, approximately ten nanometers in size, which are added to the fuel at a concentration of only five parts per million. The oxide acts as an effective catalyst during combustion, due to its high surface area and chemical properties, resulting in faster and more complete oxidation of the fuel-air mixture. Following successful preliminary tests in Hong Kong, the company now plans to launch a large-scale field trial in cooperation with a British bus company, in which approximately one thousand buses will use the modified diesel fuel.

It all seems so familiar somehow. I've heard it a thousand times before, and it's never worked.

'What's new is the addition of hard ceramic particles to the fuel that has been filtered through the My system. Are the new injection systems now lasting too long, to the point where something needs to be done to address their lifespan?'

(Even though 'nano' is smaller than 'my,' hard components are not necessarily good for the mechanics.)

A spin-off company from the University of Oxford is testing its product in field trials in the Asia-Pacific region. Aha, why not in Oxford? Or at least in England?

Namenhafte, unabhängige Institute mit Prßftständen haben positive Ergebnisse bestätigt. Aha, welche denn? Dass das Zeug nicht umweltschädlich ist? Wie What are the names?

It's all just fluff on the website. It gives me a very unprofessional impression overall.

Hello.

Camel hair and magnets - blankets can actually help with a herniated disc!
or perhaps not?
Sure, various methods might not be bad, but how about actually saving fuel?
If you install a chip and then drive the same way as before, you will save fuel, but only because you have to press the accelerator pedal less to achieve the same performance.

Best regards, Marburger.
