Tornado Air

Have you huys heard of these? I remember seeing an infomercial about these a while ago, but was just reminded of these today. Think they really work?

From www.tornadoair.com:

Tornado is a non-moving turbine shaped device, which creates a vortex or swirling effect to the engine. The result is improved airflow into the engine's combustion chamber, causing a more efficient mixture between air and fuel. TORNADO fits most cars and will work in either a carbureted or electronic fuel injected engine. TORNADO stands for a revolutionary device that enhances fuel economy and increases horsepower.

Everything that I've seen (except for the Tornado ads and web pages, of course) suggest that this is a waste of money. The rotation/turbulance of the air is at the cost of velocity.

If that was all it took to improve gas mileage, car manufacturers would do that. They are under a lot of pressure to produce more fuel efficient cars and both fuel efficiency and power sell cars.

It might help on an older car but not on a modern one.

I bought two of them and put them in my intake pipe, so I get twice as much HP as I should! It's awesome! Not only do I have 164HP now (instead of 140), but I get 40mpg. It's great.

Thats what I figured. I just don't see how you can see any gains from this.
