This ginormous marketing spam was left as a comment on WUWT on the thread:
Seeing as to how it was left on my blog, I see it as fair game. All you have to do is add these magic tablets to your gas tank and your troubles with gasoline vehicles mileage and emissions just disappear!
Only one problem, this seems to be a reincarnation of:
Attorney General Abbott Shuts Down Pyramid Scheme That Marketed Bogus Fuel Pill
BioPerformance ordered to return more than $7 million to victims of pyramid scheme
AUSTIN – Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott today stopped a Dallas-based pyramid scheme from illegally marketing the so-called “top secret gas pill” that it falsely claimed would increase fuel efficiency in automobiles. The Attorney General’s settlement with BioPerformance and its owners, Lowell Mims and Gustavo Romero, prevents the defendants from continuing to deceptively market their products and ends the State’s eight-month legal action against the company.

Apparently, there are people that fall for this “green gas additive”. With gas prices on the rise, we’ll surely see more of these. Here’s the pitch:

mission for our families and world for the future.
I am not going to try to sell you anything but to see if both our companies can
work together and support each other’s business and help our neighbors and
the world at hand. I have been in business with my husband Tom for over 13

Rep. Allen West Visits Cyclone Power Technologies to Explore Cost-Saving …
SYS-CON Media (press release)
Cyclone Power Technologies Inc. (Pink Sheets: CYPW), developer of the award-winning Cyclone Engine, announced that it spent the morning introducing its patented, external combustion engines to Rep. Allen West (FL-22). Cyclone demonstrated the engines’ …

Just something I ran across last week . . . .
Cuiousgeorge, the clocking trick is to keep the plug from being hit by a piston or vavle during runs. The tolerances biult into the engines are so tight that if not done a piston or valve would smack the electrode shut, effectivly shutting off the spark or destroying the plug and causing major damage to said motor, never heard of improved effieciy from this but no doubt possible.
Richard111 says: April 25, 2011 at 9:57 pm Who was it said “There are none so blind as those who will not see”?
Ayn Rand wrote a version of that, to the effect of refusing to see (which is evasion).
Yup, saw lots of this kind of stuff back in the 70s, when gas prices tripled.
No such thing as a free lunch….

You are correct Sir, with the exception of certain exotic types of two strokes orientation of the plug electrode makes little or no difference to power output or fuel economy.

Not another steam engine, as if we hadn’t seen them all before. Was is it not Mr Lear, he of the jets, who advocated steam cars to solve pollution in the sixties and then went round with a hatbox which he said contained his new steam engine?
If they can achieve the 30% they claim it is a pretty poor design and forty years behind the times. And none of this rubbish about it is cheaper to make, perhaps true if you are going to completely retool a mighty industry at who knows what cost.
Kindest Regards

“(Pink Sheets: CYPW), Are they jerking our chains?”
Interesting question!
According to the latest Auditors’ Report on Cyclone Power, April 18 2011:
“[T]he Company’s dependence on outside financing, lack of sufficient working capital, and recurring losses raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.”
See http://www.cyclonepower.com/PDF/Annual_Report_2010.pdf
In spite of this, enthusiasm seems to undampened. According to a penny stocks news sheet
http://news.wooeb.com/NewsStory.aspx?id=726397 (26 April)
“Cyclone Power Technologies Inc. (PINK:CYPW) reached up 20.69% in morning trading to $.35 with 400K shares traded.”
There is an enthusiastic promoter of the company, See

The Rossi cold fusion wonder contraption to which the nickelpower site is devoted is pretty generlly dismissed as a scam. See
http://newenergyandfuel.com/http:/newenergyandfuel/com/2011/05/09/rossi-ecat-cold-fusion-reactor-update/
and the long discussion and scholarly discussion of these claims at

Please let me know what you think of all this.
