Squeezing out miles per gallon using electric fields
A simple device has been developed by Temple University to significantly increase the fuel economy of larger internal combustion engines. The device uses electrical fields to reduce the viscosity of fuel, allowing it to separate into smaller droplets. Six months of road testing in a diesel-powered Mercedes-Benz automobile showed that the device increased highway fuel from 32 miles per gallon to 38 mpg, a 20 percent boost, and a 12-15 percent gain in city driving. No word on when the device will be on the market.
