Magnetised fuel feeds engine efficiency
Article Abstract:
Strong magentic fields applied to fuel fed into petrol and diesel engines can produce improvements in fuel efficiency and power output. The concept was used in the 1930s by Chinese fishermen who applied magnets to engine fuel lines in fishing boats. The strongest magnets available must be used, such as neodymium iron boron, and they need to be applied to each side of a petrol fee line. They should be placed close to the injectors in a low pressure fuel-injected system. In tests the magnets worked well through thin mild steel pipes, but not through braided hose, and some engines appear to benefit more from magnetised fuel than others.

Engineering breathes new life into diagnosis
Article Abstract:
dsTEC is a small British engineering firm that has developed a number of low-cost devices for diagnosing breathing difficulties. The latest sensor, patented through the British Technology Group and designed by retired Reader at Staffordshire University Dr. David Hitchings, measures air flow and lung condition with a silicon diaphragm when a patient breathes into a mouth piece.
