The Hyper Voltage System is designed to stabilize the voltage from the battery for more electrical system efficiency. It is essentially a high performance capacitor, which stores energy and gives it back to the battery when it needs it. Results are similar to Hyper Ground: increased power, reduced fuel mileage, reduced emissions, longer battery life, etc. Using Hyper Ground and Hyper Voltage together is better than using each product separately

Snake Oli Alert! I wouldn't touch this product if it were free!

Whether this stuff is supposed to work or not..I dont care, but for all this stuff aboyut resistance of wire etc, its the connections to chassis/part that are the important bits not the wire.

Perhaps they should also do a gold plated connectors set, and a gold plating service for everything metal/electrical in the car.

Sounds very much like a left handed screwdriver to me.

Don't think i've ever given out a b*m steer

You told me Chaythum Maritime was a nice place, the jewel in the crown of the Mudway towns!

Not the Chatham Maritime built on what was contaminated land from the old Nuclear portion of the dockyard?

They had to dig lots of feet down to clear the soil then backfill, but even now you arent allowed to grow anything classed as edible.

Quick Des, dig up the turnips!

Off topic - sorry - reminds me of where I used to work in Luxembourg. It was a new factory built on the site of an old steel works, and the land was contaminated with heavy metals. So, like in Chaythum, they scraped off the top soil. However, they dug a big hole further up the hill adjacent to the factory and dumped the soil in there. Problem was the rain leached out the heavy metals and washed them back down the hill. Doh!

Aye, but they'll be BIG turnips, won't they - and with such a long shelf life!

This sounds like it comes from the school of gold-plated mains plugs and monodirectional speaker cables. If you've got duff ground connections, then it might correct any problems, but I can't see it fixing anything that's not broke.

In fact, by grounding to various points around the car, I suspect you're asking for a few ground loops to be set up, which can cause noise on the signal and power lines around the car.

Just my 10-p worth, but it remind me of the old Rover SD-1 problem -they used to get through vast numbers of rear wheel bearings, as that was often the only path to ground from the engine! And I'm sure that some Volvos have been found grounding via the throttle linkage.....

Phil, waiting for the sparks to fly.........

... gold-plated mains plugs and monodirectional speaker cables.

I remember reading a catalogue with these types of things in. I was especially tickled by the monodirectional speaker cables.

Hmmmm.... given that I have a nice thick power cable running to my boot, grounded via a 1F capacitor (across the amp), does that mean I'm running a HyperVoltage System of my own?

Sweet! Where can I get me a sticker to show off this fact to other road users?

Aye, but they'll be BIG turnips, won't they - and with such a long shelf life!

There goes another crop. :(

I can aways sell them as Christmas lights.

Geoff can always top them up at his local power station should the glow subside....

Thanks for the responses. Sorry for the delay in responding...things to do, people to meet, money to spend, etc.....

I've not worked on the Hyper Earth project yet. I'll get to it sometime in the near future and will let you all know how it works. If the only thing it does is to stop the light dimming cycle (a VW NB weirdness/quaintness thing!!) it will be worth the effort.

Cheers! :drive:

Only problem is, after a good zapping they tend to sprout legs and run away :eek:

is that how you came into this world geoff ?
