Why if I reduced the size of the fuel molecules--say by combusting them with oxygen--I'll bet I could power an engine. Perhaps even a car! I like to think of the money people spend on these things as a tax on the thermodynamics illiterate. I like that Moletech "reduces the size of fuel molecules to increase fuel efficiency."

He forgot to mention that it's fantastic entertainment for the rest of us. A great man once said that "a fool and his money are soon parted."

Still, it makes me wonder how well something equally pseudo-scientific, for example, <a href="http://au.tv.yahoo.com/b/theone/" rel="nofollow">a show purporting to find Australia's best psychic</a>, will be received. Secretly, I hope that so many large organizations and public figures getting publically burned for not having enough skepticism about a magic pill that changes gasoline into juiced faeries will wake up enough people that they side with the token skeptic and see through the cheap parlor tricks that they use. Of course, the rest of me knows that the sales of psychic guide books and horoscopes will shoot through the roof and anyone in the cold reading business will have a brisk year thanks to this, but one can dream.
