Nah, just google "TANSTAAFL." Pretty much the same concept as
thermodynamics, but easier to spell.

Lanny, two hyphens (dashes) and a space make a proper sig delimiter that
well-written newsclients will automatically trim from replies.

"-- ", not "---"

I guess you, like Mr. Heinlein, have not met the creator of the turbonator.

It is a blockage that you put in your car's intake to get more
air flow. It also gets rid of the many microscopic droplets of
fuel that are normally, of course, in liquid form at 800C and
refuse to be burned, obstinately, and exit intact to the catalytic
converter. The turbonator gets rid of these particles by the
slight motion changes the obstruction causes, which, what else,
are greatly magnified by frictional effects in the passage
through intake, throttle, and intake valves, causing a "tornado"
that blasts the droplets apart just like you would blast the
droplets of a Florida thunderstorm apart by blowing really,
really, hard at them.

Thanks, I didn't know that.

....although, it only affects people who quote an entire article, rather
than highlighting only the relevant part(s) before pressing the Reply

Yea, it's pretty much identical to the "tornado" devices that
they used to sell on late night UHF TV stations (hell, maybe
they still do, I built a DVR box and don't watch live TV
anymore). Just for fun I looked at the turbonator web site.
When you read the testimonials, you don't know whether to laugh
or cry.
