d4a just talked about the Ogle 100mpg carburetor youtube.com/watch?v=icprC7G_q8…
His argument is INCREDIBLY lacking. He basically says "yeah you can do that but it's not practical".
Here's my comment on the video:
Okay, I have to bring this up. Ogle's story, and your story, both have a problem. What is the thermal efficiency of a Ford Galaxy 500 that can do 100mpg?! Lets say it's a 10% efficient engine, which is a low-ball even for the 1970s, and lets say it gets 10mpg out of the factory. Just dumb back-of-the-napkin math says taking that engine to 100mpg is taking it to 100% efficiency.
Okay, maybe you don't like my dumb math, lets try it another way: We know what it's like to put a 40% efficient engine into a car like that, because of the good ol' TDI swap. You get about 30mpg. So you're saying he got to something more efficient than a TDI? How much more efficient? Is more than 60% efficiency even physically realistic? Lets say you have a 90% efficient engine, where are you getting the heat to warm up the fuel? That thing's going to run stone cold!
The problem with Ogle's carburetor is not that it "works but is unrealistic", the problem is that either Ogle is a fraud, or he tapped into some source of energy which he completely did not understand. If for example he was able to somehow trigger a small amount of hydrogen fusion during the combustion then all of the math easily works. But if we're just talking about more efficiently using the chemical energy in a gallon of gasoline, that's just not possible...

But what do I know...
