Gas Saver Magnet Kit
 ✖  |
Cow Magnet Craze - If you've tried to buy any cow magnets lately you know what's happened. They've more than tripled in price and are scarcer than hen's teeth, no thanks to the "cow magnet craze" that's sweeping the country. Seems the word has been getting around that if you tape a couple of the 3 in. magnets on your gas line - real close to the carburetor, with positive and negative poles together-you can increase gas mileage "up to 5 or 7 miles per gal.," says some enthusiasts.
Because of the "cow magnet craze", city folks have been buying up cow magnets anywhere they can get them - so many, in fact, that there aren't many left for cattlemen who need them for their cows.
A Colorado firm which specializes in magnets (but doesn't make cow magnets) has boarded the bandwagon with a "Gas Saver Magnet Kit" made u~ of 2 magnets said to be "twice as strong as cow magnets and much longer lasting". The kits sell for $11, including postage. "Contrary to some reports, magnets do not heat the gas," explains Tom Nellessen, president of the Ten-Gam Corp., 6075 S. Gilbert, Castle Rock, Col. "The magnets magnetize molecules of fuel all to one pole, making them repel each other when they aren't under pressure. Between the carburetor and fuel pump, they are under pressure. When they reach the firing chamber, the magnetized, vaporized molecules repel against each other. This spreads them out evenly for more efficient, uniform firing in the chamber."
Meanwhile, FARM SHOW checked with Dr. Edward Fletcher, professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Minnesota who specializes in thermodynamics and combustion: "I don't know of any intrinsic way in which magnets mounted on the fuel line will increase the capability of an engine for getting increased mileage. However, when people do almost anything which they think will increase mileage, they become more conscious of their driving habits. This improvement in their driving habits - and not the magnets - is why they are getting improved mileage." Gas mileage can be increased by up to 20% from improved driving habits alone.
