Fuel Saving With ‘Low Gas’.

For the last couple of months I’ve been doing a practical trial on a fuel saving product called ‘LowGas’, which to be honest, even though many of my colleagues in ‘Breeze’, and a local taxi company, had positive results, I was still very sceptical as to whether this product would produce the goods.

It seems, and I’m not going to be cautious about this because the practical facts do not lie, ‘LowGas’ does actually do what it says on the box.

I have a 4½ year old Vectra I.9ltr Diesel. My mileage before fitting ‘LowGas’, from full to the fuel light flashing, was consistently around 530 miles. After fitting ‘LowGas’, there was no discernible improvement for two tank full’s, then the mileage range gradually began to creep up over the next 3 tank full’s, to just over 580 miles from full to fuel light flashing. As I use my car for the same journey every day, with hardly a deviation, i.e. To and from work, which is a good mixture of town and country driving, I can definitely say that there is an improvement of around 50 miles per tank full. This is too large an improvement to put it down to varying factors. So, with the price of fuel here in the U.K., and with the monthly mileage I cover, and once the ‘LowGas’ device came up to speed, I had a return on my investment inside a month. I don’t know why the device takes a while to come into full effect, but that seems to be pretty standard.

‘LowGas’ is remarkably easy to fit. It consists of a series of magnets inside a heat resistant sheath, which is wrapped around the fuel line, and held in place by a couple of tie wraps. That’s it.

‘LowGas’ costs £15 here in the U.K., which is £25 cheaper and much more compact than its nearest rival, and comes with a 60 day money back guarantee.

To sum up, ‘LowGas’ does produce the goods, is extremely easy to fit, is cheap, and is not intrusive to the engine. Fifty miles per tank full is not a massive saving, but it is a saving that cannot be ignored. Of course, the saving will vary from car to car, but talking to other ‘LowGas’ users, 30 to 50 miles seems to be about the norm. The local taxi company I mentioned, has a fuel saving of 50 miles per tank on all of its cars, which really speaks for itself.

I’m not affiliated to ‘LowGas’, but that doesn’t stop me from extolling its virtues. Every fuel saving device that does actually save fuel and by that token, eases the strain on our environment, must have an airing.

Magniwork E Book Review. 0/10.

Ok, I’m missing something here. Judging by the testimonials, the Magniwork generator is the best thing since sliced bread, or even better. Apparently it’s very easy to construct, and the instructions are easy to follow. Well, I’m not exactly mechanically challenged, being a mechanical technician myself, and if all the testimonials are genuine, then I should have no trouble at all in constructing one of my own.

Where does that leave me? Pretty well totally non plussed.

I have several issues with the whole Magniwork package, such as it is.

Issue 1/ I have read the Magniwork E book through several times, and I can find nowhere, any information on how to get in touch with the Magniwork technical team.

Issue 2/ On the Magniwork capture page, it clearly states, and certainly gives the belief that the generator built with these plans, will be able to provide sufficient renewable power to reduce the average domestic power bill by around 50%. Well, the generator rotor dimensions are 2” in diameter, by 1 3/4” in depth, so by any stretch of the imagination, the few small magnets on that, are not going to produce any significant power at all. During my research, any magnetic generator that has been capable of powering a house, even in part, has been a pretty hefty piece of machinery. The one generator I’ve seen of the Magniwork size was just capable of powering a very small LED bulb. So, I suppose that if you are using a small LED bulb for any reason in your home, then it could be said that the Magniwork generator would reduce your power bill. Though I think that pay back would probably be achieved by your great, great grand children, but even that is a very optimistic estimation.

The E book does actually say that you can build a full size machine, that will power your house. However, no instructions are given for the dimensions of said machine, and anyway,

Issue 3/ This issue would immediately be a problem for most of us. The construction of the rotor requires machine shop facilities, which I suspect, most of us don’t have access to. Six grooves 0.260” deep, and 23/32 wide, 60deg apart and the length of the rotor, have to be cut, and a groove 5/16” deep and ¼” wide, has to be cut around the circumference of the middle of the rotor. Not only that, but also, an acrylic ring has to be fabricated with a .030” wide and ¼” deep groove at some point on its surface, presumably the diameter of the stator. Not the sort of operation you can do in your garage with a file and a hammer and chisel. So unless you have a lathe and a shaper in your garage, it’s going to be just a bit impossible, unless you are very good with a file and hammer and chisel, to fabricate these components.

The E book does actually say that you can build a full size machine, that will power your house. However, no instructions are given for the dimensions of said machine, and anyway, to build such a machine would, given the size it would have to be, would be a major engineering job, requiring substantial workshop facilities, far beyond the means that any serious DIYer would generally have in a small home workshop.

Oh yes, this small machine has to hand cranked up to 2100rpm for 42 seconds before it becomes self sustaining. Thouh I should think that anyone capable of fabricating the major components of the magniwork generator, and having the machinery to do, would not find the design and fabrication of a mechanical cranking device too arduous a task.

I do have a lot more issues about said E Book, but I think I’ve made my point

There are some reviews on the Magniwork E Book, which are glowing testimonials to the ease of construction of the Magniwork generator and its power producing capabilities, which probably have more to do with the commission paid on each sale, than any factual act of building this machine.

I’ve included a You Tube video, which shows the size and construction of a proper magnetic generator that should be capable of powering a house. I do have this video elsewhere on my blog but it’s easier if I include it here.

I would like to add that I do believe the magnetic generator is a fact, and that it does work, but the Magniwork generator is just not in the ball park.

Unless you have substantial workshop facilities, and abilities, building a magnetic generator big enough to power your house even in part, is not a DIY option.

So there you are, make of this report what you will. I have written as I see it, which may or may not be the view of the majority. If you have purchased The Magniwork E Book, I would very much like to hear from you, via a comment on my blog. Positive, or negative, any comments are welcome. Only constructive comments please, and no bad language, no matter what you think of my review. If there are positive comments about Magniwork, that can be proved, I would more than welcome them.

Sorry to drag this out, but a thought has just struck me; it’s a bit strange that the Magniwork author has no video of a working Magniwork generator. A video tutorial would not be so hard to arrange either. Anyway, enough is enough. Catch you on my next post.

Foot note: My blog is about information, and helping people. I will not endorse a product that I believe is misrepresentative, and misleading, so I have removed the link to the Magniwork E Book site from my blog.
