Pre-Ignition Catalytic Converter...Hoax?

My roommate stumbled upon this somewhere browsing the internets. He showed it to me half convinced that this thing was amazing, and is the solution to all our problems.

They claim this device converts any liquid into a usable fuel. Not just a fuel, but a completely clean burning fuel. It doesn't just stop there, in the first few minutes of the video they state "This man can breathe the exhause because it will smell nice (they put aftershave in the fuel), is non-toxic, and IS NOT hot.

Okay, I don't know about you, but if absolutely nothing else, how do they make fire not hot? I mean, it's an internal combustion engine, there is fire, explosions, and friction...those equate to heat.

Anyway, here's the site. I almost laugh at their rediculous claims.

What are your thoughts? Anybody else heard of this before?

if they took out the first part of their video it would almost seem legitimate... almost. they showed the guy breathing in exhaust from a tiny 2stroke engine, so what, most of the stuff they put in there was flamable, aftershave is alcohol and you need to run oil with the gas of a 2stroke (im assuming these are 2strokes because of their size and what they showed in their animations looked like 2 strokes) that white rag test to show pollution was a bunch of bs, he held it there for like a second and being such a small engine nothing would happen anyways. it sounded like that gennerator was having some trouble running on 40% water and i didnt see anything relating to their product on either of those engines. i would like to see them put all that ☺☺☺☺ into a cars gas tank and run it around. when they said they can make a car run off only 2 injectors, throttle body injection anyone? my teachers blazer has that. he explained its something to do with obd2 that they have to have individual injectors for each cyinder. while it does make sence to vaporize the fuel better before it burns. but from their video it seems that to get the better milage you have to add water to your engine which just doesnt set right to me. it just seems like a bunch of snake oil to me. im not a certified mechanic or anything but it all seems rather redicilous, it might work but i dont think it would do much of anything, they never said anything about what it would do to your power either.

enought if your roommate really likes it let him waste his money and you can tell us from how worthless it really it

o well, they still only ran them like that for a little bit, the ones they showed in theri little animations looked like 2 strokes thats why i was thinking 2 stroke, but still, they are using durable engines and i didnt see anything that looked like what they were advertising connected to that motor

Heh, you guys watched more of it than I did. Once they showed the guy breathing the exhaust and said "it's not hot," I turned it off. I mean, I can't get passed their claim that fire and explosions will not produce heat.

Pretty incredible claims- I wish it were true ... I want to believe....

-so many non-named quotes is what worries me...

If someone is so crazy about it, why would they not allow their name to be used.....hmmmm

I'll give him until 5pm to reply. Then swing the old hammer on him.

He has been regged since october 2008, so maybe he isn't a spammer?
