Dear Mr. Fukui,
Thank-you for your quick response. The general forum idea is to eliminate the posibility of "dyno error" from magnetic forces as you indicated on the website. Thus, the desire to perform 20-30 runs for 0-60 and .25 mile times. If the resulting HP increase is 30+hp, the performance should be quite obvious with the time runs. Alternately, I can request the group attempt to arrange for a dyno run for you (I will CC: this message to s2000online.com).

Again, thank-you for your quick response. We would very much like to evaluate your product. Please let me (us) know what we can do to further this evaluation.

Where do you buy SEV?

Scott at King said he had heard about it but was not personally informed, but he would put the question to Mugen on our behalf.

Hah!

All three of those dynoplots are rediculous. None of them follows the fundamental formula of horsepower.

horsepower = torque*rpm/5252

Actually, I believe the above is a physical law.

Well, the constant varies depending upon units. However, when torque is identical at a particular rpm, then by law hp must be identical there.

Some facts:

If I remember college chemistry, when you split oxygen molecules you get 2 oxygen atoms which then combine with a 3rd oxygen atom to form ozone. While it's heavier than air and combustible, its also very corrosive, it'll eat your metal and your rubber seals!

Also, usually it takes a lot of juice (volts) to split oxygen molecules or a lot of ultraviolet radiation, i'm talking about no atmosphere, ultimate tan type of UV rays!

As far as I know, the only use for radium ore is to kill certain types of cancerous cells. Even if it could split o2 molecules, it would require large quantities, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere near it! Another thing, the most stable isotope of radium ore is radium-226 which emits alpha particles, which forms the gas, radon. Which, when it breaks down, becomes positively charged, which attaches to small dust and other fine particles. This can cause a lot of lung problems...kinda like black lung disease, but you got all the dirty little particles from God knows where going into your lungs!!

It's true that Radon is present in the air and can collect in small enclosed spaces, which, btw, produces a health risk. But as long as there are wide open spaces, humans will be fine.

Imagine this 2 feet in front of you. Then again, I might be wrong, been a while since freshman year.

What do you mean have we overlooked something in the US? Does this look familiar?

I won't waste my time arguing with anyone who insists that these might be reasonable claims.

Damn ortho, where'd you find that one? Changes the molecular structure of the gasoline? A special polarity orientation? Gotta love that one. Unless they've found a way to maintain monopoles in a concentration they still have to have two poles. I like how their link to the DOE doesn't work either.

Oh, and now I'm sounding smug and sarcastic, but be sure to never mix the magnet and SEV systems, as the magnetic field will eliminate the effectiveness of the SEV. :-)

LOL

I suppose I should expect some serious chugging of my engine whenever my cell phone goes off and the vibrator motor spins...gotta watch out for those stray magnetic fields
