Where can I get one?
It's interesting that it is actually based on a system that works.

>>16155407
It's not really false...because the system does work in theory. It just needs to be much, much bigger to work well. It really does do all the things stated in the OP image, though paying for itself quickly is questionable.

It's a capacitor that stores energy and then releases it when there's a heavy load on the electric system. By taking the extra load off, it can actually help improve gas mileage, power, and all that other stuff.
The only problem is that the capacitor in that thing is dinky, so it doesn't actually do much. It does probably give very minuscule benefits in those areas, but because the cap is so small, it's not actually anything you'd be able to notice.
So it does work, just not very well, because the components are extremely undersized for the job they're supposed to be doing.
>>16155551
my roommates Turbo II had one of these installed when he bought it. I still have it around somewhere, it'll make a great gag gift.

Mazda uses the same system but with capacitors that are actually large enough to make a difference.

I need to actually get one of these, my steering wheel is as smooth as glass and no power steering
>>16155563
Yes, but cars traditionally already have such a thing.
It's called a battery.

Yeah. People will buy literally bracelets that promise to heal you and make you smarter.
I mean, if you watch american television, it kind of makes sense.
am i a bad person for secretly wanting one of these?
>>16159449
i kinda want to fit a fan like that to my pod so it sounds like im spooling

This. Also GPS, if your car doesn`t have built-in
>>16155677
Goddamn, Twingos have a lot of steering angle.
>>16159469
i got one of those + exhaust whistle
i personally like it because it sounds like something you never heard before.
it idles like whee whee whee br br whee and with WOT it goes like a vacuum cleaner
>>16159542
tfw my twin pipes dont work with a whistle
>>16159553
One in each pipe.
i myself drilled a small hole and bolted it directly in the end muffler and put a tip over it for stealth
>>16159574
even then the exhaust pressure isnt good enough for a whistle
worked mint as on my mates maxima though
>>16155065
Neck yourself
>>16159591
yiff in hell furfag
>>16159581
Its not supposed to whistle constantly.
Mine only whistles with max acceleration, idle and some specific revs.

if it doesnt work get a bigger one.

Capacitors have an insanely high discharge rate, to the point that if you short the terminals together on the huge ones, they can explode.
Batteries can't dump power as quickly.

>>16159591
40 km/h without the engine being on, now that's fuel efficiency

Brodie knobs would be the correct term. I've herd spinners, suicide knobs, and necking knobs before.

capacitors to batteries are basically how RAM is to storage drives. much faster charge and discharge rate, and more volatile. can't store a charge without a constant current like a battery can. i didn't believe this shit when i opened this thread, but it's starting to make sense.

Corolla, TVR wheel, Holden horn button, had a half ripped Harley Davidson sticker on it as well when I bought the car.
Decided to just cover it up with something less gay until I can get a TEQ Horn button.
One note on the wheel, while the Momo is fantastic quality, stirdy as hell, get a round wheel, square sucks ass.

Except the only reason the Mazda system does anything is because it charges the cap with regenerative braking... It doesn't just sit there in the cigarette outlet.

They turn on a dime. Really nice to park in the city.
>>16155454
I think any anecdotal evidence supporting increased mpg is purely the driver just paying attention to how he/she is driving. I'm sure they aren't leadfooting it like they usually do.
>>16165958
Yeah. What the plug system does is leech power at low load and feed it back under high load. If it was much larger it would have an effect but still worse than anything with regenerative.

Can confirm. Saw an Accord about half as bad as this. Had all the shitty chrome door edging and some other bits; easy identifier that the driver is Mexican (usually) or black.
>>16166406
*saw it yesterday.
Very common though.
>>16155563
>It's a capacitor that stores energy and then releases it when there's a heavy load on the electric system.
Mazda's capacitor method requires a customized alternator as well as regenerative braking to supply the power used to charge up the capacitors. Simply putting a lot of capacitors across the output of the alternator is not the same and actually is bad.
Large capacitors in the system mean that when the car is parked, the capacitors are discharged slowly by parasitic loads. When the car is started up, the capacitors demand a large inrush current (they look like shorts due to how much current they can instantly demand). That large current is harmful to rectifiers and other unfused items.
>>16165958
>>16166501
Mazda's regenerative braking increases the alternator load on overrun. It doesn't use an eddy current brake like a Prius or Tesla. You don't need any specialized equipment to do the same thing, just a big capacitor and an on/off switch wired to the TPS.
Of course, this thing has neither of those, but just because this product is worse than worthless doesn't mean the concept wouldn't work if executed properly.

Obviously the engineers of the Fuel Shark realized this, which is why they sized their capacitor appropriately, to work well across all vehicles sold world wide in all markets.
Due to the ingenious design of the Fuel Shark, you can save gas, increase HP and lower emissions without harming you vehicle or requiring expensive custom alternators or regenerative braking!

Beads are great in the summer. They are durable. They don't get dirty. They don't compress down and lose their ability to isolate your back from the seat, so air is always able to flow and keep your back dry. And they last a long time.
