Acetone also works by producing more benzene out of the fuel. However ; it's a gas and since the "fueltank" is an open unit all the benzene escapes out. No wonder the milage doesn't approve... I've tested acetone on 2 small engined cars and one big one. It's no magical potion indeed but 5 to 10% saved is still worth the effort imho. As for it's "destroying" powers ; as long as it's pure ( and not nailpolish remover... ) and not overdosed it's perfectly safe.
@OpeiGrafikka Wind resistance does not matter in this case because it would actually make the results worse not better. Your argument would only stand if they claimed the gadgets and tricks improved mileage.
They use ways to much acetone. They should have added only 5.5 mL instead of 7.5 mL. If you use too much acetone, you loose the effect of it. Less is better.
I suggest some people posting here go an read up on the principles of thermodynamics. Im so tired to read conspiracy theories on just about anything - please understand that no one is organized enough to pull off any big coverup as people claim. Get a good understanding on science principles, experiment yourself and see why this just cant work.
Look under "gasoline vaporizer using hollow metal ball" on youtube does not make hydrogen but one or two hollow metal balls mounted under carb or throttle body injection unit I made two and my truck passed smog amazingly way better increased mileage runs smother warms up quicker I wish Adam and Jamie would try this one out Its new Youtube video only posted Nov 14,2011
come on folks just because its on TV or movies doesnt mean its valid..... actually more times than not, BECAUSE its accepted on media SHOWS it not valid
Themadmanandre- I sorry but I don't know if you really know much about cars. If efi doesn't do much, then why is every car using it? Why are cars today making power more efficiently? Also you can't add anything to fuel to make it work better? Meth? It doesn't add mpg but it adds power and engine tolerance? These tests are pretty dumb honestly. And you have taken it upon yourself to defend it? And there are parts that add to engine efficiency. Lmao what up now?!
@Turbo05gt Well everyone else is criticizing it because they don't understand the most basic of mechanics and chemistry. Might as well "defend" it.
And no, these tests, aren't "dumb" as you so eloquently put it, they used the scientific method and obtained proper test results from a series of experiments.
Fuel additives? The acetone might clean nail polish off the insides of the cylinders, other than that it's useless and detrimental to your fuel mileage, as evident in the tests.
How about an eBay turbo? I know you can sustain the same mileage while adding 6-8lbs. May not get better but at highway retain the same. Other than that you just have to lose the weight to gain mileage.
OMG they put this on like they think they even know what they are doing.... thats as much a scientific testing as feleing someones forhead for cancer !!
@frank0067Go ahead and do your own study to prove them wrong, I'm sure the results will be relatively the same.
All those supposed fuel saving devices, technics, tricks, I've tried they all have one thing in common none of them worked & some had a negative effect IE. Acetone in which my calculations of getting less MPG correlates with theirs.
@robvlob people have been useing gas saving devices for long time.. vaporizing fuel is an infamous exaple SHell oil even duplicated & got 300 MPG.with the OPEL .. the US military also bought the tecnology and used it in WW2 on its tanks and other vehicles. alot of people did this too.. Jack nicholson was known quite some time ago for a car running on hho ..Japanese company produced a water car to sell to the public..
you have to understand BIg energy is threatened, media will supress
@frank0067 Another frustrated socialist who believes that all of lifes necessities should be free, and the people who make a business of bringing u those necessities are evil. If nicholson profited from using hho gen on his car then why dont you????? Japanese water car was well-known hoax. If shell could duplicate a 300mpg experiment 1000s of others could too. A patent doesnt stop u from making and using yur own device. Time to get real.
@tampicokeed well your stabing in the dark... its more than socialism thats supressing free energy .. its the entire gobalist network JFK spoke of in his speeches .. which is also on here somewwhere.. the reason we pay for gas and energy and everyting else is because we are forced to.. not because it so happenes.. many many people had free energy inventions or fuel enrgy saving innovations... a guy on national tv sold his free energy motor in an national Tv show.
@frank0067 hey buddy, my letter of 17 hrs ago made 4 points. U might address those points instead of going off on useless somewhat paranoid ramblings.
@frank0067 oh, but I am the reality man here. Are u are the paranoid, pie in the sky, socialistic, flake????. THAT was one of the points i made. WHY do u think others have to bring this free energy to you?? YOU cited the fact that nickleson had an hho gen on a car. If u know that it even increasd his mileage by as little as 15%, why have u not installed one on yur vehicle--there are many kits available over the internet. Now focus, address that issue-- no more aimless rants.
@OldWizeFrog Or maybe there's no global gas conspiracy, The shown so-called gas savers really don'w work due to being based wholly in pseudoscience, and you're a blooming idiot for going along with it all.
The Mythbusters have done more science here busting this myth than you've ever done in your whole life.
@TheMadmanAndre this is why i am saving gas with my car now because I uses the hho system. no you are the idiot. I know an people I have show this to to see it working know that it works but you are going to tell me it don't. wtfe. You have no clue who I am to say I don't know what I am doing all you do know if you looked at my channel is that i play a bit of guitar but you didnt even bother doing that much so stfu
@OldWizeFrog Yeah, I do know cars. EFIs are only slightly more efficient that non-electronic ones. What part of "Not relevant to the testing procedure" are you not understanding?
And even if they did use a newer vehicle with an EFI, it still wouldn't not have had any effect on the data or the correlations that it showed.
And what does you playing guitar have to do with anything? Stick to the subject.
Also congratulations on wasting your money on gimmicks, it's cash well spent.
Why do people say it needs to be moving that creates too many variables this is a scientific test and is also how car company's do their testing under best possible conditions so piss off haters take your shit elsewhere
@SweetWife84 It's especially egregious when you take into consideration that gasoline/diesel/etc. are composed of organic molecules, and therefore not magnetic in the slightest. All the magnets would do is potentially damage any on-board electronics your car may have if they happen to be in close proximity.
I've tried acetone the only effect it had was a negative one after doing the math(which most people don't even bother) the average dropped about 5-10% I tried ratios of 1/640(2 oz/10 gal) & 1/425(3 oz/10 gal) the recommended mixture range. Ive also tried MPG caps(seem to make vehicle run rougher)no effect or slightly negative one. Another one was team national which a friend said worked(but they suggested to slow down 5MPH also)I had a base to compare he didn't, it didn't work either.
(cont) To increase mileage be more mindful of your driving habits. Don't race to/from red lights. Slowing down a bit earlier can increase your chances of getting a green not wasting your vehicles kinetic energy. Add about 10-15% to recommended tire pressure to decrease rolling resistance. Use lower viscosity oil. Using these technics give me a net gain of around 15% over EPA & a few times as much as 55% over EPA.
Also do the math(divide MILES by GALLONS=MPG) stock scan gauges are approximate.
@robvlob Well, you've done some basic tests to demonstrate the validity of that acetone theory, Congrats for understanding scientific method. If anything, having a foreign substance in the fuel will make the fuel less pure and burn less effectively. That should be basic knowledge from high school chemistry.
As far as the acetone; I'd like to know if they tried different ratio's. 1/500 is on the extreme high side of the suggested ratio's. It would be interesting to see what, if any, difference lessening the amount on acetone would make.
Also, they used an "open system" and acetone is said to be highly evaporative. Who knows how long the time was between when they filled it and actually ran the test.
What theyre doing wrong here especially with the acetone is that theyre using a carburated car instead of one with electronic injection. The engines ECU will change the ignition timing and the amount of fuel that goes to the injectors constantly. So it will respond to different additives better.
@Lillie1986 It doesn't matter what kind of injection they used, that wasn't part of the test. The point of the test(s) was to determine how efficient, if at all, any of these wonder inventions made the car in question be in terms of consuming fuel.
@TheMadmanAndre Ofcourse it matters. You wont notice any change in efficency even if you do use a better fuel unless you setup the carb for the new fuel. Thats why they shouldve used a car with electronic fuelinjection instead otherwise the test is pointless.
@Lillie1986 You've never done anything in Automotive, have you.
Allow me to reiterate: The method or device of actually INJECTING the fuel is POINTLESS in regards to the subject of the test, which was to determine the fuel efficiency of each of the devices/methods in question. The fuel injector is a non-factor in a test like this, it shouldn't be turned into a variable.
And the fuel efficiency boost in using a electronic fuel injection system is marginal at best.
@TheMadmanAndre Of course, I'm taking into account both my understanding of the workings of an automotive engine, and my understanding of Scientific Method. Don't create a variable where there doesn't need to be one in a test.
Its about adaptability. If you want to compare two types of fuel you need some form of ECU that can take changes in knockingpoints etc into consideration and change the fuelamount after that. A carb will spray the same amount of fuel in no matter if you put water in the fueltank or jetfuel so the fuel consumption will remain the same despite the fuel.
@Lillie1986 What you've first stated has no bearing on these Tests; only one form of fuel, gasoline, was used. The test with the acetone was to determine if the claims made of it being a fuel additive were true, and they obviously aren't.
And now, an EFI is not some magical carburetor that can add zeros to your fuel mileage.
@mrchristmh2 Placing a vehicle in that assembly they used is the automotive industry's norm for testing a vehicle's fuel efficiency; It removes virtually all unnecessary variables from the test. Then again, conspiracy theorists believe the automotive industry is perpetrating some kind of massive coverup regarding a substance that's useless as automotive fuel so...
These tests results is very inaccurate when the car is in stationary position on a dyno roller!
How are they going to prove anything right when they eliminate the actual force of nature..(aerodynamics)?
And to add, a car sitting in stationary position with a fan isn't really helping the experiment when air efficiency is stagnant and cooling properties aren't in full effect.
Acetone definitely helps stabilize fuel characteristics, so for them to completely disregard it is just ignorant.
@SPEEDLSDADDICT Do you even know what Aerodynamics is? In the automotive industry, it's used to allow a vehicle to move against/through standing air more efficiently, as in, the primary resistor of a moving vehicle. A vehicle has to work against air resistance, therefore having to burn MORE fuel to move. Other things like "cooling properties" and "air efficiency" are pointless and irrelevant in this series of tests.
@SPEEDLSDADDICT The point of the tests was to determine FUEL EFFICIENCY. A scientific test is scientific when the tests have as many variables as possible cut from the test, which is the case here. Try to brush up on the basics of pretty much all branches of Science before you make a statement like that.
That shit thing they did to produce hydrogen wasn't enough to support the car on "real-time", but if was stored in a gas tank it would have worked, like the test they did with the hydrogen cylinder.
You're not quite wrong there. Motors will run on Hydrogen but step-up belted car-alternators just 2-3% fuel efficient. I posted clip of HHO Unit that takes 44 W. worth of Petrol to make enuf shaft torque, for enuf Current, to electrolyse enuf HH0, to replace 1 Watt worth of petrol..! These things are a complicated form of water-injection,(& placebo-effect). But, search'sunfoil' & view the "Short-talk"clip. It works !
There is no such thing as a free lunch. A HHO generator will draw more current than it can produce, even in a frictionless setting (wich an engine ISNT, it runs at like 20% efficiency)
@Serostern I agree, however were not talking about producing current, were talking about producing hydrogen, big difference. The HHO system may be drawing electric power but it shouldn't effect the mpg, think about it, does your car stereo effect your mileage, no. Does you AC, yes but that because its belt driven turning a compressor. So here is the magic question..........Have you made an HHO system and tested it? I like to ask that because 99.9% of the people saying its crap , havnt tried it.
@Serostern Dumb shit, why the fuck do you keep talking about perpetual motion, i know your ignorant by your statements but for christ sake, are you really this fucking stupid? Your the only idiot on this page bringing up perpetual motion. Are you retarded? seriously are you?
I WONDER HOW MUCH MONEY THE OIL COMPANIES PAID MYTHBUSTERS IN ORDER TO DISTORT A SETTLED UNDISPUTED FACT THAT CAR CAN RUN IN HYROGEN. THESE GUYS SHOULD EVEN BE IMPRISONED FOR BRINGING AND SHOWING FRAUD TO THE PUBLIC. FRAUD, HAOX, SHAME, LIAR,,
@rabisrabis Did you watch part 2? They did show the car running on hydrogen directly (if a little unsafely!) from a gas cylinder. The point was that the device tested just didn’t produce enough hydrogen.
If anything has been invented to fuel a car in a way that is cheaper than Petrol (gasoline) then the oil companies will have sent the boys round to “buy them out” and we will never see it.
the ACETONE WORKS. something is BULL on the VIDEO. i used 2 bottles in a 95 honda to clean it out to pass smog and it took forever to run out of gas. once i filled up after and didnt use any the gas went faster for sure. mythbusters busted
WOW The Myth Buster video is busted by the fact that they never did ANY experimentation.
They don't say "Maybe our electrolyte levels need adjusting." Nope, just plug it in, and say "Nope that one don't work."
That's not like ANY of their other experiments in any of their shows. Curious isn't it? But what do you expect. They work for the television syndicate owned by the government. I liked this show before I saw this LIE.
Have anyone ever herd of the fuel doctor device? Supposedly all you do is plug it in to your charge dock in your car and you can reduce up to 25% of your gas mileage?
these guys arnt that bright they said u couldnt get zapped by peeing on a electric fence to. mixcat shows you get more mileage plus wheres the air flow at. they should of used a newer car to
I got a good result with a fuel magnet on one car but a lesser result on another but much cleaner engines at each oil change I think they work but with soo many variables to be conclusive
best way to save gas w/out buying bullshit devices. drive smart, not aggressive. don't step on the pedal. follow the speed limit since increasing the speed burns more gas. may be slow and time consuming, but will save you money.
@hss3892 agreed and if you have a look at the video response or search mechanicalcruisecontrol you will find a device that does exactly what you are describing its pure mechanical and bolts onto the accelerator pedal in 5 min - it just helps you to not press the pedal more than you need - and you save 20.18% = 150km or about 100 miles more range per tank of gas : )
wats kipkay ? acetone in gas mixed has been around for nearly 75 years old dragsters use to use it becuz it helps burn all the gas burns less gas and runs better
Except not one thing you just said makes any sense at all. Why would 'oil companies' want to keep gas mileage down? Even if all cars collectively became better on fuel, it doesn't mean we wouldn't still need oil, or even much less of it.
And also, in order for what you're saying to be true, you'd have to believe that someone from an 'oil company' actually sat down with Mythbusters and the Discovery Channel and told them to falsify their show. Right?
@tpaladino Also, why wouldn't the oil companies just start adding acetone without telling anyone and start jacking up the prices for "high power gasoline"? Or maybe they already have and Mythbusters screwed up the ratio! There will always be one more level to the conspiracy unless they start making gasoline themselves.
Acetone also works by producing more benzene out of the fuel. However ; it's a gas and since the "fueltank" is an open unit all the benzene escapes out. No wonder the milage doesn't approve... I've tested acetone on 2 small engined cars and one big one. It's no magical potion indeed but 5 to 10% saved is still worth the effort imho. As for it's "destroying" powers ; as long as it's pure ( and not nailpolish remover... ) and not overdosed it's perfectly safe.
Shicomm 1 week ago
well, they didnt bust the Hydrogen generster because they forgot a critical step... add Lye for ELECROLYTE.. lol water is a natural resister.
Other then that they prooved an engine will run on it if its hosed in.
Acetone makes the fuel burn hotter, in fact the only thing it does is help destroy the engine faster. (acetone disolves stock engine seals)
to a drag racer that has a special high compresion engine it can be usefull, but those kind of engines are purposely built for it

Did they even thought of the momentum of the moving vehicle is another factor of saving the use of gas..
power to weight ratio...
i thought they were geniuses... LOL

They were eliminating all other variables. This was to test efficiency ONLY.

@mrchristmh2 Placing a vehicle in that assembly they used is the automotive industry's norm for testing a vehicle's fuel efficiency; It removes virtually all unnecessary variables from the test. Then again, conspiracy theorists believe the automotive industry is perpetrating some kind of massive coverup regarding a substance that's useless as automotive fuel so...

mrchristmh2 5 months ago
These tests results is very inaccurate when the car is in stationary position on a dyno roller!
How are they going to prove anything right when they eliminate the actual force of nature..(aerodynamics)?
And to add, a car sitting in stationary position with a fan isn't really helping the experiment when air efficiency is stagnant and cooling properties aren't in full effect.
Acetone definitely helps stabilize fuel characteristics, so for them to completely disregard it is just ignorant.
SPEEDLSDADDICT 6 months ago
@SPEEDLSDADDICT Do you even know what Aerodynamics is? In the automotive industry, it's used to allow a vehicle to move against/through standing air more efficiently, as in, the primary resistor of a moving vehicle. A vehicle has to work against air resistance, therefore having to burn MORE fuel to move. Other things like "cooling properties" and "air efficiency" are pointless and irrelevant in this series of tests.
TheMadmanAndre 3 months ago
@SPEEDLSDADDICT The point of the tests was to determine FUEL EFFICIENCY. A scientific test is scientific when the tests have as many variables as possible cut from the test, which is the case here. Try to brush up on the basics of pretty much all branches of Science before you make a statement like that.

That shit thing they did to produce hydrogen wasn't enough to support the car on "real-time", but if was stored in a gas tank it would have worked, like the test they did with the hydrogen cylinder.

You're not quite wrong there. Motors will run on Hydrogen but step-up belted car-alternators just 2-3% fuel efficient. I posted clip of HHO Unit that takes 44 W. worth of Petrol to make enuf shaft torque, for enuf Current, to electrolyse enuf HH0, to replace 1 Watt worth of petrol..! These things are a complicated form of water-injection,(& placebo-effect). But, search'sunfoil' & view the "Short-talk"clip. It works !

I dont trust these two because ive been researching HHO production and they didnt do it right, very lame and obviously friends of the auto industry.
HappyJackProduction1 9 months ago
@HappyJackProduction1 HHO does work, BUT.
There is no such thing as a free lunch. A HHO generator will draw more current than it can produce, even in a frictionless setting (wich an engine ISNT, it runs at like 20% efficiency)
Serostern 7 months ago
@Serostern I agree, however were not talking about producing current, were talking about producing hydrogen, big difference. The HHO system may be drawing electric power but it shouldn't effect the mpg, think about it, does your car stereo effect your mileage, no. Does you AC, yes but that because its belt driven turning a compressor. So here is the magic question..........Have you made an HHO system and tested it? I like to ask that because 99.9% of the people saying its crap , havnt tried it.
HappyJackProduction1 7 months ago
@HappyJackProduction1 If you have a HHO generator in a car... Where does it get its power from?
The battery.
What powers the battery?
The alternator.
What powers the alternator?
The engine.
What power the engine
The HHO.
But the problem is losses, like friction in the cylinder, and the weight of the damn car.
I've built my fair share of HHO generators. And they do work, BUT... It is not prepetual motion.

@Serostern Dumb shit, why the fuck do you keep talking about perpetual motion, i know your ignorant by your statements but for christ sake, are you really this fucking stupid? Your the only idiot on this page bringing up perpetual motion. Are you retarded? seriously are you?

rabisrabis 9 months ago
@rabisrabis Did you watch part 2? They did show the car running on hydrogen directly (if a little unsafely!) from a gas cylinder. The point was that the device tested just didn’t produce enough hydrogen.
If anything has been invented to fuel a car in a way that is cheaper than Petrol (gasoline) then the oil companies will have sent the boys round to “buy them out” and we will never see it.

WOW The Myth Buster video is busted by the fact that they never did ANY experimentation.
They don't say "Maybe our electrolyte levels need adjusting." Nope, just plug it in, and say "Nope that one don't work."
That's not like ANY of their other experiments in any of their shows. Curious isn't it? But what do you expect. They work for the television syndicate owned by the government. I liked this show before I saw this LIE.

best way to save gas w/out buying bullshit devices. drive smart, not aggressive. don't step on the pedal. follow the speed limit since increasing the speed burns more gas. may be slow and time consuming, but will save you money.
hss3892 1 year ago
@hss3892 agreed and if you have a look at the video response or search mechanicalcruisecontrol you will find a device that does exactly what you are describing its pure mechanical and bolts onto the accelerator pedal in 5 min - it just helps you to not press the pedal more than you need - and you save 20.18% = 150km or about 100 miles more range per tank of gas : )

ZOMG YOU'RE RIGHT ITS A CONSPIRACY OMG OMG.
Except not one thing you just said makes any sense at all. Why would 'oil companies' want to keep gas mileage down? Even if all cars collectively became better on fuel, it doesn't mean we wouldn't still need oil, or even much less of it.
And also, in order for what you're saying to be true, you'd have to believe that someone from an 'oil company' actually sat down with Mythbusters and the Discovery Channel and told them to falsify their show. Right?
tpaladino 2 years ago
@tpaladino Also, why wouldn't the oil companies just start adding acetone without telling anyone and start jacking up the prices for "high power gasoline"? Or maybe they already have and Mythbusters screwed up the ratio! There will always be one more level to the conspiracy unless they start making gasoline themselves.
