It wasn't an improvement of thermal efficiency that made the
super-carburetor what it was. It was that it got more out of the gas
by acting as a catalyst to a degree, from what I've read. It was a
while ago that I read it and I don't recall the site, but if I find it
I will let you know.
In such context, a super carburetor is a myth, pure and simple.
If you want to suggest that it's a "myth" because no one has
yet PROVEN it to be real, that's okay. After all, you can't go around
insisting the Earth is flat unless you can "prove", it.
I will say this until I find some references though: I have
read some convincing material on the net about this.

It's a myth because we can do the math that tells us how much energy can
be obtained by burning gasoline.

Close - its the temperature of the COMPRESSED mixture not the temp of
the burning gas

I dont believe that is quite right either, Brian.

Oh boy - I should have known what to expect when I saw the newsgroups
involved.
