No, it wasn't a Hiclone although I am very sceptical about those too.

I suspect the windmill thing "worked" by changing the engine noise. I maintain that if you have two identical vehicles with the same power/torque output at the same rpm, but one has a growling exhaust and the other a normal one, most people will believe the noisier car to be more powerful (and will convince themselves of this). The mind is a powerful thing...

SWEETY:
It wouldn't be one of these would it :-k :-kThe so called superchargers :^o :^o

Now that is clever - forget using it as a charger - you could a make a perpetual motion machine with that technology!

That's the one!

An equally strange bit of kit would be the things I saw in France a couple of years ago. Sort of plastic whistles that were designed to be stuck on the outside of your car where they would (supposedly) make ultrasonic whistling noises to stop wildlife wandering in front of you. I really can't see them working...  :lol:

Boggert:
No way would I fit that to my car, with the luck i'm having with Turbos, it would do what my last one did, threw a fan blade then ate it self! :shock: burp
