PURE BS, WASTE OF $$$

Mythbusters tested all of these and 0 work out of 25 products.

wow people WILL buy anything if it says helps improve MPG LOL

Looks like your standard 2 dollar capacitor..which used in that way does NOTHING..total typical ebay hype/junk

Hahahahah. thats all what i can say. Japanese engineering man. its awesome!

Magic booster is made in Japan.
It is made with 100% japanese best grade electronic parts
(It is designed like a big electronic part).
16cm (long) x 3cm (diameter), 130 gram.
For the Booster to function, just connect it to the battery.
This unit suits for all cars and motorbikes with a battery of 6-12 volt. (Gasoline, LPG, diesel)

It is designed like a big electronic part

Well Hell.... if it designed like a big electric part... it must be good

This is the biggest piece of crap I've seen since the Tornado. Best way to increase MPG in your truck is to rub your stomach while simultaneously patting your heads while driving. Everyone knows that. And it doesn't cost $40.

im not denying that it looks like a peice of crap or saying that i would buy it but like i was saying it is a capacitor does what they say about keeping a constant current not make sense? i have a cap lying around froom my old system and i am curious it their theory mkes sense. but i love mythbusters and if they say no i believe them

no it doesn`t make sense at all. there is already a capacitor on the ignition... it is called a coil.

I also like how they are showing a stereo audio signal pre and post compression as an ;example; of this device working.

The constant current thing is close. A capacitor works kinda like a hydraulic accumulator in that it stores energy and when current drops it discharges. That's why you can put one on your stereo and your lights dim less. What it's actually for in that application is to prevent your DC signal from turning into more of a sine wave (AC) and damaging your amplifier. So in that respect the maintaining constant current does make sense.
