Default Cyclone Fuel saver is BS

I have seen this cyclone fuel saver add on the TV. What a BS. I personally feel insulted. They included three demos:

1. Two connected bottles. In the demo liquid moved faster if they spin it. BS. It moved faster because the air had to move in opposite direction. The "cyclone" movement of the liquid created air tunnel in the middle. It helped air move better through the bottle neck in comparison with the original setup, where air moved in bubbles. If they would keep both bottles open so air can escape the "cyclone" would slowdown the movement. Try it at home, if you do not trust me.
2. They compare it to turbofans of the airplanes. I am absolutely speechless. I should sell mufflers and compare it to rocket dues. So rockets fast and my mufflers will make your car faster.
3. They run dyno test on the car without and with cyclone "fuel saver". The second test gives extra 10% power. Note that the second test runs on 10% higher speed. It means the engine runs 10% higher RPMs. Of cause they did not mention, that you will have same 10% percent of the power if you will run engine without the "fuel saver" - just run it faster.

So you get the point.

Default You watch too much TV!

Are you also amazed when Al Unser drains all the oil out of his car and hotlaps Willow Springs?

Or when Ron Popeil creates mouthwatering meats in his rotisserie (set it and forget it?)

Default Isn't it int that a seemingly upstanding guy like Leon Kaplin, Motor Man/KABC radio

can get caught up in such a scam. He didn't endorse but said he heard "others" said it was good, "try it, what have you got to lose". Not exactly the approach he takes with other subject areas. Kind of like Dennis Prager (theologian/talk show host, also in LA) shilling cleaning products, beds, lawyers etc. Is there no shame or at least decorum anymore? PS: I feel better now.
