Banco, this was in my July newsletter about Platinum, may be of interest
On the demand side for platinum there is a new use that could spark
considerable demand. National Fuelsaver Corp. of Boston, a private company
has developed a knew and unique device called the Platinum Gasaver that is
bound to take off and cause significant platinum demand.
They have developed a device that connects to any gasoline engine and is
guaranteed to save 22% in fuel costs. In fact government tests showed the
device saved on average 28.3% on a fleet of 15 vehicles. After 5 years of
study the government concluded: "Independent testing shows greater fuel
savings with Gasaver than the 22% claimed by the developer".
Until now, platinum is used in catalytic converters to burn off fuel and
pollutants further to meet EPA pollution standards. This device injects
microscopic quantities of platinum into the air-fuel mixture and causes the
normally unburned fuel, to burn in the engine rather in the catalytic
converter. This increases the fuel burned in the engine from around 68% to
90%.
The device is guaranteed by the company and does not void any warranties.
The Gasaver has received patents for raising gasoline octane, and has been
approved for reducing emissions to acceptable levels. The device works by
slowly releasing a liquid platinum mix into the engine. The device is simple
to install, that practically anyone can do and will last for 50,000
kilometers before it needs a refill kit.
Joel Robinson, the developer, commented, "We have already sold over
300,000 Gasavers. To our surprise, as many people buy the Gasaver because it
extends engine life (by cleaning out the abrasive carbon deposits) as buy it
to increase mileage". The device currently sells for US$103 or Cdn$159,
with platinum making up about 90% of this cost.
