too many variables could make that change in fuel consumption. Just tailgating a big truck can save tons of gas due to aerodynamics. Air temperature, changes in acceleration, ac, even power consumption from headlights or stereo.

But an interesting test non the less. Raises some doubt in my tornado hating spree. The concept of it creating a better fuel/air mixture makes since.

cool it does work im getting this one of these for my pontiac

This couldn't possibly work. The air would stop spinning after the throttle plate. And there is more than one cylinder, how would the air split to each cylinder and keep spinning?

@Solitear666

by what the news said, it does work. but 1/2 mile increase isnt that impressive

[mechcruisecontrol]

This one really works and has been tested in an independent accredited laboratory

I have a similar device that bolts onto the accelerator in the cab, it was originally designed as a mechanical cruise control - to cut a long story short - I had it on a dyno at the Mercedes Benz laboratory and it used 20.18% less fuel

Contact me if you want one I got 12L/100 km out of a race tuned 6.7L or 400 cube Chevy V8 @140kph and 18km/L or 5.5 L per hundred out of a 1100cc Fiat @140kph set it the speed limit and you will never get another speeding fine again and score 150km/tank

wonder how many people fell for this scam...

[Rofocowboy84]

That's why IMHO throttle body spacers are muuuuch better, because they're mounted between the butterfly and upper plenum.

[Rofocowboy84]

In order to put it after the throttle body, you have to take that whole assembly apart, which isn't exactly an "easily installation" like they say for most people. They're not meant to be put inside it, trust me. I don't even know if they would fit in there. And the vortex would be fine at full throttle, lol...

[GaiaOnline777]

If you put it before the TB you defeat the vortex effect because the air induction is controlled by a butterfly. Something spinning hits that and it will not be in a vortex anymore.

[Rofocowboy84]

It was in the duct, which is after the filter. And how the hell can you put it AFTER the throttle body?!

[MrOllyK]

For some engines these things might work, but in reality:

1. You CAN'T install them after the throttle body which is part of the manifold..

2. Diverting anything - even airflow - means diverting and reducing energy. You're slowing down (and NOT compressing either) the intake air.

3. If somehow the air vortex DID make it past the throttle plate, then with carbies your fuel would be spun out of the airstream onto the plenum walls.. like many air filter boxes use to remove dust particles..!
