**MODS Please delete if inappropriate / Move it to appropriate Section**

Found this AD in today's classifieds. It is about a newly invented oxyplus Machine. After searching I found their Website. It is a Catalytic Converter. By fixing this Catalytic Converter you will be able to Drive at 25 km. to 40 km. speed on TOP gear & drive on 3rd to 5th gear on ghat section & SAVE FUEL.

Does this thing really works?

Increases power by 100% ? LOL

Quote:

It reduces noise and vibration - smooth engine of the vehicle upto 80%

The english used speaks their standards.

EDIT : Just checked the website and the title reads "Catalyc converter" !!

A few years back there was a device sold which claimed to save your cooking gas consumption by some 20% or more. It was a circular device attached to the rubber tube that carries the cooking gas from the cylinder to the burner. It was supposed to use some magnetic properties to help preserve gas, God only knows how.

This device looks similar to that. Something that can increase the capabilities of a stock car by upto 100%, works universally with petrol/diesel/CNG/LPG fuelled cars and still undiscovered by all the automakers?

I would say save your money and save others' too by telling them to stay away from such ads.

swiftnfurious · 18th April 2010, 01:04

Is it a typo? May be the power increases by 10.0% ?!

Thats still acceptable ! But the description is too good to be true! Increases the engine life by 100% ?

I have been getting SMSes from Dorf Katel - here is what they say (And since I am quoting verbatim - don't hold me responsible for the grammar/spelling or lack thereof )

"TA-DorfKatl - Earn Rs.80 lacs to 5 cr. p.a. - start ur own automobile bizz - Investment: 300 sqft shop at anywhere in India + 15Lacs fee (www.dorfkatel.com) Bhavna 810...."
