Magnetic fuel "conditioner"

Oh, wow, Oracular magnets!

Moral: don't trust your spill-chucker...

Tell us Doctor, what are your feeling on Global Warming? ;-)

 

Could the special application of appropriate magnetism change lead molecules
into gold?

Could magnetic fields alter the properties of greenhouse gases and finally make
Al Gore shut up?

You may be on to something there...

or not.

 

What he said, but Krusty will always think otherwise...

 

OT;
That would depend on whether he was a real scientist or an EXXON scientist,
wouldn't it? Note that the term "global warming" isn't used much anymore by
real scientists, it confuses ignorant rednecks too much.

 

A really strong magnetic field might disturb the orbits of electrons
in the individual atoms that form a hydrocarbon chain, and might even
temporarily polarize certain molecules, but when did I *ever* say that
I believed that powerful magnets could increase fuel mileage?

Put up or shut up, troll.

 

Global warming is *because of* attempts to reduce pollution, particulates in
the upper atmosphere produce smaller droplets of water than those normally
formed on pollen, the smaller droplets used to reflect more of the sun's
heat back into space so the 'experts' have destroyed the one defence we had.

 

Hi Jack! (Well, that's what you've done with this thread!
To be honest, as a non-climatologist, I'm still not convinced that any
_variation_ we've seen so far is any greater than fluctuations that have
been seen even in historical times. _Prognosis_ is a different thing,
and I'll have to plead lack of expertise there.

I have, however, had some experience with magnetic fields and
organic compounds[1]. The only effect I've seen is one observation that
pure, carefully degassed benzene _seems_ to crystallize with a preferred
orientation when cooled in a field of ~3.3 tesla (66,000 times stronger
than the earth's field; wikipedia says that a N48 permanent magnet is 1.38 T).

Where did I say that you *did*?

Go on, have a look in the thread.

You lose. Again.

 

You toss off, as usual. You're probably typing with one hand as you
toss off with the other...

 

Aren't hydrocarbon chains held together by co-valent bonding?

How strong a magnetic field would it take to break co-valent bonds,
Mr. Scientist?

 

No. You accuse me of saying something I didn't. So, in other words, you
lie, like you do.

I challenge you to point out where I posted what you said I did and...

....guess what! You can't.

So, a liar, a racist, someone with a distressing interest in the seamier
side of sex, someone who lost his job and blamed everyone and everything
except his own incompetence, and someone who lives, embittered, angry
and alone...

That's you, that is.

 

<Opens popcorn>

You have *no idea* who you're arguing with.

 

The idea's been around forever. Originally the gadget
was supposedly based on cow magnets.

Probably be better just to power the car on desktop
cold fusion.

 

<G>

Krusty versus *two* eminent scientists...

<Pops cork on bottle of claret and settles down>

 

I'll stick to a pot of coffee. I'm a bit low on rhum right now.

 

Those magnets are as useful as deer whistles...all of which are as
useful as tits on a boar hog. In simpler terms they don't work,
they've NEVER worked and are unlikely to EVER work under any
circumstances except maybe to hold notes to the refrigerator with the
magnets and the deer whistle as a hat rack.

 

They do great at protecting the cows from "hardware disease"
and increasing milk production so why shouldn't they do the
same on your car.

 

How do you milk a car?

 

Heh, it's winter. It's either that or try to milk the car.

How's the repairs going on the Super Collider? I'm anxious to see you guys make
your own black hole over there.

Saw a cartoon the other day about the Collider. The caretaker was using it when
everyone was gone home. He was doing his own experiments. He said "Today, it's
possums."
