What is this?
>>
>>29003138
Snake oil

>>29003138
you're supposed to plug it into your cigarette lighter socket, and it "stabilizes the voltage" of your car's electrical system so that your spark plugs work better and more consistently and you get improved gas mileage

in reality, it's just an LED attached to a capacitor and a couple resistors, and it doesn't do a damn thing except glow, pure snake oil

an indicator for a motorcycle. i think.

Guess that is what it would do, but batteries already do a good job of that.
>>
>>29004106
Batteries don't do a good job of that, thats why filter caps are a thing. The problem with this buttplug is that the capacitance is tiny snd irrelevant for the job it's supposed to do
>>
>>29004106
batteries do not do this at all. the voltage drops as it dies and under load the voltage "sags" significantly and not linearly based on load
>>

>>29004723
I'll rephrase my point: a capacitor is basically a small battery. If a battery cannot provide a stable DC current, a capacitor sure as hell cant either.

Capacitor acts as a filter at alternator voltage. A car's 12V battery does nothing but charge at 14.4V. It's why any decent amp setup uses a cap, so the voltage doesn't get pulled down to 12V when the bass hits and it goes over the current capacity of the alternator. The capacitor smooths out the power load seen by the alternator.

I still cant believe they had commercials on network television.
I guarantee this was an (((early life))) corporation.
>>
>>29004862
Yes.
But.
Your pic is using a fucking 4 farad cap.
The FuelShark was like a 1 microfarad.
0.0000025% of that BOSS cap.
It couldnt equalize a seat belt chime.

The concept was sound. They probably had a patent that saved their ass from prison for violating the FTC.
And im the anon that has seen a 7hp gain on the dyno from one of those ricer ground octopus setups.

>>29004862
It doesn't do shit for the alternator side
What that cap does is smooth out the incoming power towards the amplifier so you don't amplify a constant buzzing sound from the imperfect output from the alternator
