im in the money.if i buy one of these.what do you recon
Magic Booster

I'm sold. I reckon combined with that electric supercharger I just bought, I should be pushing 300bhp.

Don't forget your Brown's Gas Generator.

If I buy two... I'll save twice as much

Magic Booster. Right.

Can't see what else it can be except a capacitor and a diode and its usefulness eludes me to be honest.

The sellers negative feedback says much though....

I reckon there's one born every minute. Now about that bridge I wanted to sell you ...

Ian, if the sale falls through, I would be interested!

If I put one on my leisure battery will it make my sink pump more efficient

I like how they even claim it works by aiding compression on a diesel engine.

Last time I checked, once a diesel engine is started it doesn't even need the battery.

Some years ago (late 80s I think), I remember seeing a guy at quite a few VW shows that would turn up with a paste table and a spark plug on a stand that would be busily crackling away with not one short spark but many - like a frankenstein lab and quite an impressive sight. It did demonstrate quite well the invention he was trying to market, namely an ignition system that would light the fuel perfectly every time. I have no idea what happened to him, or his gadget but its about the only thing I've seen in the last 20 years that actually seemed to have some merit. Just wish I'd bought it.

Anyone shed any light on that one? Who was that guy?

I can see the merit in a better spark although who knows what the life expectancy of a plug might be under those circumstances. In theory I guess thats the vague thinking behind the magic booster but my argument would be that its fitted in entirely the wrong place - better surely, integrated with ignition system directly. Three and four prong plugs materialised later on as a means (presumably) to increase spark reliability although I can't helkp feeling that the chap with the paste table had a nice bit of kit there. I know he developed it himself.

thats a no no then now.about that bridge?

Covkid,

The man and his paste table lives on - saw him at both Dubfreeze and Deva this year, with his incredibly dangerous looking setup, bits of ignition system and sparks everywhere...

Not sure how you find him when he's not at a show though.

Try and find out if you see him again!
