Re: E3 diamondfire spark plugs...WHOA BABY!!
I'm not asking anyone to rebuke the claims made by me of 10mpg. But what about the ones on HPtv? I mean being such an expert, (at least in your own mind) you should be able to come up with some hard evidence debunking it. But, as it shows, you are a full-of-hot-air nobody.
I don't consider you much of an expert if your opinion is to call someone a liar. I've been on this forum a hell of a lot longer than you and people here know I will respect someone until they disrespect me and then the gloves come off. People in person know me as that as well. I don't give any ****, and don't expect to take any either.
But since this is a forum, you better not be hinting that I am a liar again, or I'll report your *** again. Eventually the mods will get sick of your **** and ban you like they should have the first time.
This is not negotiable.
So I WILL SAY IT AGAIN, Where are all of these tests? C'mon people, empty junk is worthless. Show us some evidence. Or leave the thread as you aren't really constructively adding to it. Cute little one-liners about phantom tests are laughable!
Hey dude, are you going to take your bat and go home? If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen
The simple truth is, most of us old salts have seen hucksterism all our lives, and can smell it a mile away.
Common sense says that if you weren't burning 10% of the fuel, you'd have one heck of a pollution problem, and a real pukey running engine. If the fix was so easy, the car companies would be all over it like flies in the barn yard. For those of us who have run a wide variety of engines, with a wide variety of plug configurations in them, that thing doesn't even make sense, unless you're trying to get a plug to run 3 hours instead of 1 hour in an old International Blue Diamond oil burner. (That's a freebie from experience)
I've seen it before in other things. Back in the oil embargo days, there was a furnace, quite expensive, that ran an electric motor, a hydraulic pump, a restricting jet to increase the pressure and cause both the electric motor and the oil to heat up, and a radiator to take the heat off the oil. Air was blown over the whole works, and the claim was that you got 30% more heat out of it than you would get out of a resistance electric furnace.
Energy is neither created or destroyed, but only changed in form. Unlike a heat pump which brings in energy from outside, no other energy was input into the system. The huckster salesman would show you the speed of the heated air in a square duct, the area of the duct, a calculated CFM from that, and a temperature differential that showed 30% increase over input.
The trouble is that they were selling technical jargon to folks that didn't understand the engineering basics. Here's the fault. The speed of air in a duct is different at different places, being max in the middle, and 0 at the surface of the container. It is a laminar air flow, and measuring the speed in the center and multiplying it by the area is not a valid measurement of air flow. The difference you would expect in a 8x16 rectangular duct at 1000 CFM is (guess what) about 30%.
I had a friend, owner of a machine shop, inventor and engineer of local renown, that was sold on that furnace. When I explained it to him he got mad at me and said "It's got to be more efficient." How can that be?
Now we get to the nitty gritty. The hucksters get you emotionally involved with the product in some way. It's very subliminal, and actually falls into the category of mind control.
You've been had, get over it.
