Why not simply license this to GM, Ford and Chrysler? If it is that good these guys would pay a mint for it. I’m skeptical.

We’re talking torque converter, right?

I'm skeptical. If that much energy were being lost through the torque convertor, it would burn up.
Hmm... that's what it did.

The converter allows slip and that generates heat. They tightened up the converter thus allowing the tranny to live longer. Graphs of tranny failure vs ATF temperature are staggering.
There are a number of manufacturers that are offering tighter converters.
However the numbers do not add up. There is not that much difference between an automatic and standard tranny in mileage.

Thanx for the article.Can’t comment on the veracity of the claims as i’m not an engineer-so the mechanics/physics of the device is a little over my head.Hope it works as good as they say.Just imagine the savings for consumers.

Note: this topic is from September. This has nothing to do with hoaxes regarding using water to make hydrogen gas to then burn in the gasoline. :')
