this is a private party and the devise is not being marketed (not by the individual im talking to anyhow) .. i dont know of others or if its "concept" been packaged before, thats why im asking..
ive also talked to another private party who uses a device similiar to this (unrelated in any way to the first guy, they dont know each other exist so far as i know, also has a homebrew ozone injector) he claims a 10 mpg agerage increase, says his car has increased acceleration, but doesnt know jack about hp and doesnt care..
anyhow, neither one is really hyping what theyve done,they handbuild the units and their crude looking, and neither seem to have the resources for any sort of mass marketing..they just sell a few on occasion from word or mouth basically. and i cant find any other info it. im hoping there a chemist or two hanging around that can look at this objectively and post their opinions on it..
let me put the question in a differrent way..
what would be the expected results of injecting a stream of raw ozone(and the byproducts of its manufacture) into the intake plenum??
if you think about it, it really makes more sense than nitrous injection does, assuming what little ive been told holds up...but i may be missing something..so please, lets remove the "gimmick " factor that people automatically assume, and put some real thought into it...I know there are tons of gimmicks out there with wild claims, but ive known of several potentially "world changing" inventions that were simply dismissed for various reasons, so i ve learned to always try to be objective about these things..
added: ive found one document that seems to suport this process, a pdf, but its a deisel study , im trying to get through it a little at a time :http://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/ava...ricted/ETD.PDF
interesting isnt it??In June 1993, an inventor found that supplying ozone through the intake manifold
improved the performance of his gasoline fueled car. As a result of these findings, he approached
the Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) who then following his lead and
investigated his discoveries further. SAIC conducted experimental tests on a 1993 Lincoln Town
Car to determine the effects of ozone addition on the exhaust emissions of gasoline engines. The
testing results supplied convincing evidence of reduced levels of NOx and UHC in the exhaust
gases. However, SAIC did not have enough resources to perform an extensive parametric study.
