I have and currently continue to build these carburetors. In fact 100mpg is at the low end. I invite you to come to my house and watch one being built and put on a car. They work and they're very simple to build. I'll even let you drive the car for a bit.
from the link postedThe simple fact is liquid gas doesn't burn. Only the vapors do. Any liquid gas that gets into your cylinder and doesn't vaporize from the heat and turbulance goes out your exhaust pipe. Wasted. You need to give the engine only what it needs with no extra.
Water injection with a vaporizer carb is the way to go.

i'ld be interested in the specs for that carb.

Interesting! No one is interested in this.
A person on ATS claims to have a 100mpg carb and no one is the least bit curious?
Last time I looked the gas prices are climbing out of site.
Would you be interested in buying one from him? I know I sure am.

if you actually meet him, ask him if he has a good and simple design which could be used for a lawnmower-type engine without too much fear of explosion.
i saw for several vapor carb layouts on the web and they all seem to heat arelatively large volume and mass of fuel by exhaust gases, which sounds extremely dangerous to me, because of the potential for flow reversal, fire in case of leaks and overpressure.
if these (perceived i admit) shortcomings can be adressed and if i can find sufficient materials (doubtful i have no gear for such work, but maybe welding gear and patience would do) i'd love to test it in a more harmless setting than cars ie. a lawnmower.
even if you#re unable to visit, any help in this regard would be appreciated.

If this ATS member does have what he claims, then his life may be at risk. Do you think that those would produce oil actually want more efficent cars. Not in the short term. They want to get maximise profit now which they develop the next major fuel source and convince us they are helping us.

I certainly hope so, Realtruth.
But still why is this technology not readily available? There have been talk for years yet we still get these lame infomericals for stuff we add into the tank.
Either this does work or it is being supressed. If the oil companies were serious that would have invested the money to extend the usable life of our oil supply but I do not see petrol cars on the martketplace with mpg getting close to 100.

My point is that there is lots you can do to make a piece of equipment last and last.
It is up to us to lean how to think outside of the box which passes for consumption rates and the knowlege to accompany this.
Most of this is not taught per se in books but learned from others who know how to think outside of the norm that passes for book knowlege.
