Tell you what....

You send me 35.00 and I'll send you a box. You install whats in the box(nothing will be in the box) and it will work just like a tornado.


Moral: save your cash and don't bother, they do not work and are junk.

Re: Tornado

They tested all those thing in popular science I think. The magnet on the tank thing and the tornado and the tornado actually cost them some extra gas and made less power cause it restricted the flow in the intake.

Re: Tornado

I don't know anything about it other than what you guys said and from the commercial on T.V.. What they say on TV makes sense, because "it creates a Vortex/Cyclone effect so it speeds up the air in the inlet tube". The only problem with that theory is what happens to that swirling air when it hits a curve or bend or hits the intake? My main concern with this piece of crap is what happens if a piece of it decides it wants to come loose (they don't look very strong) and it gets sucked into the intake and goes into the engine? I think we all know what happens next! I highly doubt that the maker will warranty or pay for the damage done to your engine! For $35 I can find different ways to make 5-10hp, if it makes that at all!

Re: Tornado

They are supposed to atomize the fuel and air which will allow for a more efficient burn.
We use these types of devices (larger scale) on > million BTU boilers or we use compressed air to do the same thing.
As far as a car is concerned it works like a large air restriction.

Kind of like that magnet idea for your fuel tank thought, now this would make sense.
