Tornado Logic
Years ago, maybe, Popular Mechanics tested all the 'gas savers' on two pickups on dynometers.
They bought the magnets, electrical 'aura' things and........the Tornado.
What happens to the airflow when it hits the butterfly in the throttle body?
Hint; lots of turbulence, I suspect.
Thinking about it; what exactly is 'porting' and 'polishing' and what is it supposed to do?
Hint; cleans up and smooths out airflow.
So, if you introduce something into the airflow before the throttle body, that makes the air behave like your bathtub drain....isn't that effect affected by the butterly, and the whole effect removed?
Apparently.
Popular Mechanics said none of those things worked and all of them caused a drop in power and mileage.
Then I wondered which race cars used the Tornado.
Or magnets.
