Well, I found out today that both BMW and Honda were already working on the idea I had without me even knowing that I was not the first to come up with it. See these 2 links for more info........

It does bum me out a bit, but I'm also really excited that this device not only works, but it works good enough that they are looking into putting it into production automobiles!!


So, I'm still going to keep designing this device and gathering parts so I can make my own. BMW reported a 15% increase in efficiency as well as a 14 hp and 15 ft lb increase in overall power on a 1.8L 4 cylinder gas motor!! I'd be happy if I could make a system that only gave 5-10 hp!
