    i have tried aerogas for a full year and haven't noticed any remarkable difference. kaya tinanggal ko na lang. hayun, andun kasama ng ibang junks ko

There is a noticeable increase in engine power (about 5 - 8%) and fuel savings of about 15% and the smoke really was minimized/gone in about 1 - 3 minutes! The tests were done in a 1993 Toyota Land Cruiser (Prado) which was really a smoke-belching vehicle before EGO was installed.

    The device is called ALEGRE EXHAUST GAS OXIDIZER (EGO) invented/designed by Mr. Adolfo Alegre who came up with this anti-smoke belching device using the principle of VENTURI EFFECT (used in the designs of rockets). The device is attached to the muffler where it sucks out all impurities (like a vacuum cleaner), promote more complete fuel combustion, increase engine HP and guaranteed to reduce emission within minutes after installation! The effect is like having a rocket-powered engine.
    I've been reading his stupid posts for quite a while now, but I'll try refuting him for the first time.

    Do you know what is the principle of the rocket engine? Well let us start first with combustion. For combustion to take place, there must be three things present:

    a.) Oxygen
    b.) Combustible(s) (aka Fuel)
    c.) Heat (needed for the chemical reaction i.e. combustion to take place)

    Most engines, like the internal combustion car engine for example, use the atmosphere's air to get the oxygen it needs. The difference between a rocket engine and the usual engine is that rocket engines have their own supply of oxygen (aside from fuel), therefore they don't need the atmosphere's air to burn fuel. That is why they are used in outer space, because there is no air to burn there!!

    Now, about the venturi effect. The venturi effect is restricting the flow of fluids to increase their velocity (in this case, it's air). Sure, they're used in rocket engines, but that doesn't mean anything that uses the venturi effect is a rocket engine.

    Oh by the way on a related note, the venturi effect is what creates the vacuum inside your engine (through the restriction of air via the throttle). When the engine is idling or at part throttle, the air velocity increases but it creates a vacuum inside the engine since there is less air pressure than the outside air. Devices including 'standard' stuff under the hood) use this vacuum. Khaos and other airbleed devices use this vacuum to draw air into the engine to make the mixture lean. At full throttle, there is actually little or no benefit since there is almost no restriction at the throttle and the pressure inside and out of the engine are almost equal! In fact, in turbocharged engines there is positive atmospheric pressure inside the engine therefore air would actually be coming out of the air-bleed device enriching the mixture in your engine!

    Er.... isn't this like beating a dead horse ?

    the problem is that the horse isn't dead yet.

    Effective ba yun parang maliit na racing airfilter, nilalagay din sa kinakabitan ng aerogas? meron ang k&n nito
