Hi Anders
LOL, have to agree with you , I don't know how putting a "jet nozzle" on your exhaust pipe can lower backpressure on the IC engine.
To increase the velocity through the nozzle there has to be a drop in static pressure , so more pressure required upstream if ambient pressure is constant.
It'd be better to put a cone diffuser on the exhaust pipe as freepower engines do, heh heh , and motorcyles have been doing for decades with megaphone exhausts .
I'd like to see the actual engine dyno readouts that substantiate their claims , there ain't no "free lunches" in this world ...............the reduced fuel consumption is probably a result of "choking" the engine and reducing its power output .
Cheers
John

I'm on two minds on this. It's been around for a while now and the newspaper article when it was released stated it sounded like it was going to suck the turbo out thru the exhaust on a truck engine used by a independent operator. It looks to create a Venturi type effect but my understanding from this group says it can't work until there is a pressure drop and injecting more to create this Venturi effect would increase pressure not drop it. It would be good if it worked

Snake oil indeed Anders..! I'd go so far as to say it's just a money making scheme aimed at the gullible..! We who know better use good old fashioned math to make things work.
Cheers,
Smithy.
