Doesn't really belong in the "Help" forum.
Moving it on down to General Diesel, might actually belong in "Other".

From the website FAQ section:
What is it made from?
It is a MATCHED PAIR of tuned custom sealed Neodymium Super inductors that generate a frequency resonance between its two faces.

From Yahoo Encyclopedia link:

Neodymium is a lustrous silver-yellow metal. It is one of the rare-earth metals in the lanthanide series of group IIIb of the periodic table. It exists in two distinct forms (see allotropy); at room temperature it has a hexagonal crystalline structure, but when heated above about 800°C it assumes a face-centered cubic conformation with specific gravity about 6.8. The metal tarnishes in air; the coating formed does not protect the metal from further oxidation, so it must be stored away from contact with air. The oxide (neodymia, Nd2O3) is light blue. The metal is also attacked by water and by acids. Its salts form various red aqueous solutions. Neodymium is present in the minerals monazite and bastnasite. The metal may be prepared from its halides by reduction. Neodymium is one of several metals in an alloy commonly used in cigarette lighter flints. Neodymium is used in coloring glasses. The earth didymia is a mixture of the oxides of neodymium and praseodymium. The lenses of goggles used by glassblowers are made with a didymium glass that absorbs the yellow sodium glare of the flame. Neodymium was discovered in 1885 by C. A. von Welsbach who separated Mosander's "didymium" into two components, the earths neodymia and praseodymia.

Sounds like something I'd want to pay lots o $$$ for and attach to my metal fuel line.

Now you have to go find them in a catalog. 100 years ago, gypsy's used to bring things like these to your town.

I believe in them 100 per cent, I just ordered five of them.

I once had an old six cylinder Duster, actually it was my wife's, and I had put all of the gizmo-gadgets that JC Whitney use to offer for fuel mileage and power. It actually made gasoline going down the highway. I had to stop every 100 miles or so and drain the extra gas out of the tank.

Wonder what would happen if you put them on backwards? Would the reversed polarity cause the fuel to gel?
