this thing is amazing. however i do believe the government severly limits things like these as far as alternate fuel or extremely effiecient engines. i know of a guy that lives around me and he invented a carb. that allowed a car to get 90-100 MPG. A gov't corperation bought the idea and destroyed it. they have too much tax gains off of fuel to for everyone to stop buying it or greatly reduceing consumption of it. something like 60 cents a gallon of gas is tax. there are many other things like this that happen all the time, even with developing medicine for sick people lot of money there too. well thats my .02
On a serious note. The myth of the 100 mpg carburetor has been around since the 50's. One of the most well know "inventors" of the "100 mpg carb" is from Winnipeg Canada and also holds a patent for it.
He did actually sell them at one point and it was simply a regular carb that used reheating; a concept from thermodynamics that's actually used in power plants to increase efficiency.
Read more about reheating here if you're interested:

Reheating is great for power plants but it is not something that can be implemented on an automotive internal combustion engine in any practical manner. Even if it could be implemented, they gains would never produces the figures touted by the inventor.
The 100 mpg carb is simply another form of the perpetual motion machine.

Regardless, I think I speak for everyone when I say "Let's see this thing in action!". I want to see a full gas run and dynographs off of at least an engine dyno. At least we can relate to that. All this hooplah about the air going through and its "doing work" seems to sciency for me. I want numbers and a "dumbed down" real explanation!!!

That's where it lies. The real question is, doesn't this show that the gov't has too much pride to fund this? I think it would be a great invention provided it really works and that it gets that mileage putting out that kind of power. Why doesn't the gov't believe in this?

Watch who killed the electric car, I encourage everyone to. Its on youtube for free. It'll get you thinking. I wouldn't be surprised if the MYT was bought and destroyed already.
