Idunno.

I'm not really familiar with their line of invisible products.

The good news is, they take up no trunk space and are 100% efficient so you don't need an alternator upgrade to get them to thump!

Hmm...that is an expensive magnet. I'm surprised they don't also claim that you could filter urine through the device and turn it into gasoline...lol!

Quote from the auction:

"The molecules of the fuel pass at a high speed, through the magnetic field of the device (11000 gauss), where they are subjected to superficial tension modification. This results in a rapid accelaration of fuel particles resulting in a large improvement in the combustion process."

MIRACLE MAGNETS
There are dozens of fuel-line magnets on the market. We tested two. They all make similar claims: substantial improvements in fuel economy, reduced emissions and increased horsepower.

According to the people selling these devices, as gasoline flows past the magnet, the magnetic field will "break apart clusters of fuel molecules so gas burns more efficiently." Problem: Gasoline molecules aren't magnetic, not at all. But wait, there's more. If the fuel line is steel, as many are, the lines of magnetic flux will follow the fuel-line walls instead of passing through the fuel.

THE DYNO SAYS: As we suspected, neither device had any significant effect on performance or economy.

Magic Magnets.

It is a well AVERTISED fact that magnets in your bed, under the carpet, in your shoes, around your wrist and I dare say up your bum, will fix anything. The latter is the place these snake oil merchants should but them !!!!!!

This product is BS. Don't waste your money. Magnets were tried in industry to soften water, they did not work. Then they were sold to unsuspecting home owners. They still did not work. Now the snake oil salemen are selling them for gasoline. They still won't work.
In order to magnetize molecules you need a very, very powerful magnetic source (think Cyclotron or Tokamak at the Princeton Plasma Physics Labs).

Save your money or buy canolli. You'll be more satisfied.

Home remedies aside, there is still plenty of fun to be had with maguhnets.

Buy a few hundred pounds and do something crazy.
