Patent-pending device uses an electrical heater rather than exhaust to pre-heat the fuel, resulting in improvements in mileage by 20-30%, as well as a reduction in emisisons by 80%, confirmed by a Florida university. Combined with hydroxy devices, the improvement in mileage goes as high as 45%.

Gerald Rowley, founder of Vapster, Inc. has been working on increasing fuel mileage for gasoline engines for over 15 years.
The newest product, the "Green Mileage Maker", has been shown to increase highway fuel mileage by 20-30% by pre-heating the fuel. Some of the vehicles that sport the device are a 1999 Ford Explorer, a 1993 Mazda MX6, a 2001 Ford Ranger, 2007 GMC Canyon, 3.7 liter. The newest addition will be a Ford 350 with a 7.3 L diesel engine.
A South Florida University has shown exhaust emission reductions on diesels with the device up to 80%. See test report below.
- "We are excited about the introduction of the product into the diesel line and hope to make a lot of truckers very happy."
Vapster and HHOs Meet:
While Gerald was at the HHO Games in Bradenton, FL in Feb. 09, displaying his "Green Mileage Maker", a pre-heater for fuel injector engines, he met many people involved with Hydroxy generators that inject electrolyzed hydrogen and oxygen into the air intake for improved mileage efficiency
Mr. Rowley's invention pre-heats the fuel before it enters the engine.
Gerald selected an HHO system that was simple and straight forward and easy to install. By combining the two systems Mr. Rowley said he was able to increase his fuel mileage by 45%.
Gerald encourages all the HHO enthusiasts to consider installing a "Green Mileage Maker" along with their own Hydrogen generator.
Up until July 1, 2009, these units were available for sale from their site, but they were advised by a potential investor to not sell the units until they have better product liability insurance as well as a stronger IP position. A U.S. patent has been filed, but international patents also need to be filed.
Gerald has a manufacturer lined up. All he needs now is the right investor(s).
How it Works
The Vapster unit pre-heats the fuel, which enables it to burn more efficiently. Earlier units used the exhaust to do that, but it was hard to hit and maintain the right temperature, so now the units are fitted with an electrical heater.
Installation can be done by anyone with nominal auto mechanical ability.
Gerald says that in testing the mileage he uses the standard method of topping off his tank, and calculating the miles driven per gallons added. He tries to get a good number of baseline tests "before" the changes are made, as well as a good number of tests "after."
In his Mazda, he has a one-gallon fuel tank in addition to the regular fuel tank, which he switches to for testing.
FL University Test Report
Gerald gave me the name of the university in Florida (which wishes to keep their name confidential) that tested his system in May of 2009, showing a drop in emissions and improvement in mileage. Here are the first two pages of that report.

A little checking based on the given information narrows the school down to Florida Atlantic University for certain and the researcher to possibly Dr.Ghenai as he is the only faculty in the referenced department who has specific combustion expertise. The issue of course is why this "report" cannot be released on the record. Leaking anything legitimate through PES at this point will have more of a discrediting effect. Something is fishy AGAIN but I won't hazard a guess as to the smell being on the research side or the money side.
Wait for the skeptics. I would just love to hear what they have to say. Granted I would love for this to get patented and released. Looks like it would take minimal work and maintenance. The HHO stuff…well that is a different story. You would have to change one of those out every 4-6 months.
An anonymous Florida university that spells "contract" as "Contrat" and writes "inside" as "in side" - that's really impressive! I make a lot of typos too. Maybe they will pay me to write anonymous university endorsements.
JK and Sarge have merged their considerable intellectual and financial resources to establish the University of the Void. U-Void offers exculpatory and grammatically correct endorsements of your free energy device with the creation of an unrestricted endowment of $1000 or more. Serious inquiries (cash in hand) only!
Classic con. This is totally bogus. No names on the abstract? This is NOT how science is done. No one, and I do mean no one publishes without their name.
And this is what con artists do, they dress up their stuff with just enough science to make it sound believable to the uninformed.
They're SELLING SOMETHING, and until it's published in a real open forum, be skeptical, be very skeptical.
This is right up there with Mexican Cancer Clinics..
It is called contract obligations. When you sign a research contract and you agree not to advertise the name of the University you follow through by doing exactly that. Just as they (the University) have an obligation to keep trade secrets of the research under wraps.
Gerald:
Oh, come on, that's utter poppycock. If you cannot mention the name of the researchers, you DON'T PUBLISH THE REPORT!
See this way, NO ONE CAN DISPUTE YOUR STATEMENTS. THAT'S NOT SCIENCE, AND NO SCIENTIST WOULD DO THIS.
5 Will get you 10 that a real study will never be published.
You guys are looking for investors..
Bad, very, very bad..
If this isn't fraud, it looks like it. and there's enough fraud out there already..
senojjones: Methinks thou dost protest too much. He's not looking for scientific support, he's looking for investors. If the investor wants more science, he/she can perhaps help pay for it.
There are also things called "non-disclosure agreements" which he already alluded to in his first response to you. This means that if someone should be interested in coming forward, upon signing such an agreement, they will likely become privy to the information you claim he is hiding.
By contract. Get it? If you don't sign, you don't get to know. That's how this stuff works.
The idea doesn't seem so "smoke-and-mirrors" as you seem to imply it is. If he were trying to make a fast buck, don't you think he would still be selling the item on his web site?
It takes a bit more than con-artistry to get a patent, international or otherwise. I'm sure you could figure out how to do such a search yourself. That way you can keep the ad hominem remarks out of your responses.
Just my $0.
