This product is not used in the US, 99% of people are simply too much into their cars to fall for the marketing here, The US is big on proof, like real dyno test, You have 18yr old kids with laptops hooked to there cars to tune them. Your not going to fool to many folks with this item. Even the HHO guys laugh at this one. And that is almost as worthless.
The only place you'll find this in the states is on ebay, You would be laughed off of any car forum for even trying to promote it

Simple fact none of there test conducted were related to that product or even real for that matter. Feel free to contact the university in Japan and ask. Notice one thing missing in that picture, the product itself.
It's a capacitor. It stores electrical energy. This much is true, but the amount of storage available in a capacitor that small would be negligible. Your car battery stores 400Ah or more. The biggest 12V cap I can buy is about 0.1 Farads, which would run your car for a fractional of a second. It's a BIG cap, too - 5.25" tall, 2.25" diameter.
They say that if you install multiples the gains won't double. That's false. A capacitor put in parallel with an identical capacitor will, in fact, double the effective capacitance of each capacitor. If their overall claim is true (and again, it isn't) then in theory, you would be able to put in 100 of these and gain fuel economy rivaling a bicycle. The back pedaling on this point alone proves it's a scam - either you improve with more, or the effect is psychosomatic and they don't want you to realize you've flushing money down the toilet. Are they saying the University in Japan was to dumb to know this fact? Find one electrical engineer to say that is wrong.
It's bad enough they misspelled invention on there site LMAO
Now on a real note, This modification has been around for a while in my old car club and it works but there are not fuel saving gains claimed or advertised because there are none to be had. And were talking about boosting voltage to 15V.

Along with this.

I was seeing over 15.1v and got all the benifits as claimed. Note no BS fuel savings claims and it does what the Neosocket is supposed to do.
- Brighter headlights
- More power from your factory stereo or aftermarket amps
- Increased voltage to your fuel pump
- Ensures the coil pack operates at it's full potential
- Better heated seat performance
- Improve rear defrost performance
The neo socket did not raise voltage even by .01v And I used my high end digital multimeter to test it.
Simple fact is you can get a easy .25 to .5 volts to vehicle just by going to a larger gauge wire from your altenator to the battery.
This fact was not lost on the neo socket makers, because they now make that very thing. In a wrong sort of way since it just connects to the battery then is grounded. So basically it's just a The same thing as the old one with big wires and no 12v socket. Now if it was hooked to the up from the alternator to the battery then it would actually do some good.
See what I mean.

Stick a fork in it this one is done folks.Last edited by dvldoc; August 22nd, 2009 at 10:57 PM.

That's a simple do it yourself modification. And the length of the wire is vehicle specific. I'm sure you can find the makings locally at any big audio shop or on alibaba were you get your neosockets after that link I put up is yours. So are you willing to admit the product does not work or just want to change the subject?
I'm done on this one the point has been proven.

August 7th, 2010 04:24 PM #26I dont mean to take sides here but I'm inclined on the arguments of of those who see this gadget as being useless and ineffective. I am currently staying in the US now and have not heard of NEOSOCKET in any of the shops, garages or accessory dealers here. And besides newer cars here have complicated computer systems that monitor fuel efficiency for them to add this gadget. If still not convinced try searching the internet about fuel savers and non of the thousands of sites would recommend any gadget that is effective.
What the distributors of NEOSOCKET have are pure anecdotal claims based on relatives, friends and un named users of their product. To be purely scientific on a claim it has to be based on scientific studies backed by solid data and methodology. Its like selling 'snake oil' stuff to gullible consumers.
And sakin lang po ito. You can not stop people from making comments that may be unfavorable to your claims. This site is purely for that purpose. To share opinions with others be it negative or positive. Let the readers decide.
