    saw this brochure for a Pinoy invented product w/c was endorsed by meralco, lto, our environmental agency & JDV. it supposedly reduces emissions by 80%, aside from boosting power & reducing fuel consumption. have any of you guys tried this? is it worth it?


    here's a background i got from surfing:
    Invented and developed by a Filipino scientist after more than 15 years of research and testing, this device claims to totally eliminate smoke belching in all diesel vehicles. For gasoline-powered cars, meanwhile, it could assure passing the LTO’s stringent smog test. The unit is good for seven years or 700,000 kms before replacement, and comes with a one-year warranty. The installation of this device, the size of a softdrinks can, takes only less than 10 minutes with a simple screwdriver. The Areogas will not void your vehicle’s warranty nor it will cause any side effects. It can even give an additional benefit by saving your fuel consumption by 20 to 30 percent. Moreover, it can be transferred from one vehicle to another without causing any harm to the engine. The price range of the models start at P4250 for motorcycles; P6500 for cars, pick-ups vans; and P10,500 for trucks, buses, and turbo vehicles

    catalytic converter? if that's what you're referring to, the device is indeed very effective in reducing harmful emissions.

    a cat is standard on some vehicles available locally (and is standard in almost every vehicle sold in other countries)

    if the "Areogas" is nothing more than a standard catalytic converter, it will not increase power at all and will not improve fuel economy as well.

    from how the "aerogas" device is connected to the engine and from the device's construction when I had the chance to see one, I think aerogas' function is to lean out the air/fuel mixture going to the engine.

    Since there is more air than fuel than ideal, the exhaust should be "cleaner". Although it will not improve power, it should (to a degree) improve fuel economy by single digit percentage points.

    [SIZE=4][SIZE=2]is this the same gas saver? parang parehas kasi as Wulf posted ([/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=4][SIZE=2]way back in 2003 ) [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=4][SIZE=2]the inventor took 15 years to develop. almost the same claims. but now(after 5 years) it's called "[/SIZE][/SIZE]aero-nitro power injector" , [SIZE=4][SIZE=2]9000 pesos and with a 10 year money back guarantee, sana totoo para makabawas ng gastos sa gas at makabawas din ng pollution.

    he also claims that he can produce synthetic fuel from the same materials he used on the "[/SIZE][/SIZE]aero-nitro power injector"

    Einstein provides vital clue for inventor [/SIZE]

    BAGUIO CITY -- THE CURRENT fuel crisis does not worry Victor G. Ayco at all.
    A scientist and inventor, Ayco sees the crisis as an opportunity for the country to tap the inexhaustible potentials that science can offer in finding alternatives to fossil fuel.
    “Many seem to anticipate a bleak future because of the prospect that one day the world’s fossil fuel deposits will finally run dry,” says Ayco, 70. “But fossil fuel is not the only source of energy that can run engines of cars and other machines. There are other inexhaustible alternatives [to fossil fuel].”
    He based his radical optimism on what he regards as a vital clue from one of the geniuses of the 20th century -- Albert Einstein. That clue is the theory of relativity, or E=mc², where E is energy, m is mass, and c is the velocity of light.
    The Mandaluyong-based chemical engineer says Einstein’s theory helped him perfect his gas-saving product, which he demonstrated recently before Baguio City motorists.
    Essentially, Einstein’s relativity theory, says Ayco, states that “from matter we can produce energy.”
    [SIZE=3]His invention called “aero-nitro power injector” took 15 years of research and experiment. Patented on Dec. 11, 1985[/SIZE], the device has been marketed only recently through Energy Philippines Inc., a private firm, which Ayco co-owns with other partners.
    The inventor says his device “converts ordinary nitrogen (a noncombustible substance) in the atmosphere into combustible nitro-gas, and serves as gasoline and diesel additive in gaseous form for efficient engine combustion.”
    With efficient engine combustion, a vehicle can run more kilometers with less fuel and emits almost zero toxic pollutants.
    Like a science teacher
    In introducing his product, Ayco explains like a science teacher how an internal combustion engine performs two processes. One is the chemical process, which involves combustion or burning. The other is mechanical, which involves motion.
    The combustion process for gasoline or diesel involves burning hydrogen and carbon. Incompletely burned fuel leads to the formation of three chemicals -- hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and oxides of nitrogen, all of which have been proven hazardous to health and the environment.
    Incompletely burned or unburned fuel can also cause other harm. This is because carbon gets stuck inside the engine and can lead to “spark knock” or detonation, which can destroy an internal combustion engine.
    Detonation occurs when, after spark fires, it creates a small fireball that spreads across the cylinder.
    Unburned carbon sticks to the engine chamber walls and are emitted from the exhaust pipes as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.
    With unburned carbon, a car engine runs roughly, fuel easily runs out, power gets lost during acceleration, toxic black smoke gets emitted, and carbon deposits are formed within the combustion area and intake valve.
    Saving fuel
    Noxious wastes, Ayco says, deprive a vehicle of fuel economy and performance, leading to costly repairs.
    Ayco’s “aero-nitro power injector” is encased in a stainless steel cylinder, measuring five inches long and two inches in diameter, which can be attached to the intake manifold of any diesel or gas engine.
    He says the gadget enhances engine performance, eliminates smoke-belching, provides stronger engine power, and saves on fuel.
    Activated chemically during fuel and air intake, the invention harnesses the air’s potential elements by producing up to 99.5 percent burning efficiency of fuel in the combustion chamber of an engine.
    Ayco says he is processing how to get credits through what is called carbon trading because his invention prevents by 30 to 40 percent the formation of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides -- substances that are ruining the ozone layer.
    Using a chemical catalyst, which Ayco has refused to identify calling it a trade secret, the gadget converts unwanted carbons and other volatile elements present in the atmosphere into combustible gaseous form.
    Since the invention helps a car attain perfect fuel burn with near-zero nitrous oxide emission, which gives more power to a vehicle, using the gadget is like converting low octane fuel into high octane gasoline, he says.
    The gadget also increases engine power by a maximum of 25 horsepower and increases torque by a maximum of 1,000 RPM (revolutions per minute).
    Torque, also called moment of a force in physics, is the tendency of a force to rotate the body to which it is applied.
    Ayco says his invention is “like a catalytic cracking reactor using a catalyst material that assists in a chemical reaction but does not take part in it, thus giving greater gasoline yield.”
    Increasing mileage
    Based on tests by government agencies, including the departments of energy, science and technology and environment and natural resources, Ayco’s invention can increase engine power by 35 to 60 percent, mileage by two to four kilometers to a liter, and engine life span by six to 10 years.
    The tests also show that the gadget can cut down maintenance costs by up to 50 percent, can prolong life span of spark plugs and glow plugs, can decrease frequency of tune-ups and oil changes, and can reduce carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide emissions by 99.5 percent.
    Ayco also says his gadget is not bulky and easy to install without having to alter engine as it can just be attached to the engine air intake manifold.
    Suitable to most types of stationary and mobile combustion engines, the gadget can also last six to eight years and can be recharged after maximum use.
    Ayco says that two important substances used in his gas-saving gadget are carbon and hydrogen derived from limestone.
    [SIZE=3]Synthetic fuel[/SIZE]
    [SIZE=3]If taken a step farther, these limestone-derived substances combined with water plus a catalyst, which again he will not disclose, can produce synthetic fuel, which is much cleaner and more efficient than fossil fuels.[/SIZE]
    [SIZE=3]“My car actually runs on this synthetic fuel,” he says.[/SIZE]
    He invented his synthetic fuel in the 1980s and had sought government help to protect and mass produce it. But government agencies were lukewarm to his invention.
    “This is understandable because Ayco has invented something which can change the course of civilization,” says Bob Roldan, one of the marketing executives of Ayco. “You can just imagine the implication over those who control the oil industry.”
    In the meantime, Ayco and his business partners are busy marketing the aero-nitro power injector not only locally but also in Canada, Belgium and other countries.
    [SIZE=3]At P9,000 per unit and with a 10-year warranty, where payments may be returned if one is not satisfied with the performance,[/SIZE] Ayco’s invention is making brisk sales in urban communities seeking to reduce air pollution.

    [SIZE="4"]Aero-Nitro Power Injector[/SIZE]



    Philippian inventor, Victor G. Ayco, is selling an “aero-nitro power injector” which he says enhances engine performance, reduces emissions, provides stronger engine power, and saves on fuel.

    The device is encased in a stainless steel cylinder five inches long and two inches in diameter, designed to be attached to the intake manifold of any diesel or gas engine.



    Also known as "Aerogas Power injector", the device uses a chemical catalyst, which Ayco declines to identify, calling it a trade secret, the gadget allegedly converts unwanted carbons and other volatile elements present in the atmosphere into combustible gaseous form. Activated chemically during fuel and air intake, the catalyst in invention, which is not spent, allegedly harnesses the air’s potential elements and increases the burning efficiency of fuel in the combustion chamber.

    Ayco says his gadget is not bulky and is easy to install without having to alter the engine as it can just be attached to the engine air intake manifold, making it suitable to most types of stationary and mobile combustion engines. The gadget can also last six to eight years and can be recharged for additional use.

    Where it gets more edgy is that Ayco says that two important substances used in his gas-saving gadget are carbon and hydrogen derived from limestone. Rephrasing Einstein’s relativity theory, Ayco say: “from matter we can produce energy.”

    Ayco’s invention is said to be making brisk sales in urban communities seeking to reduce air pollution.
