"An InterCharger is fastened to a vehicle's PCV valve. When the vehicle runs, the InterCharger breaks down the molecular structure of vapors in the crankcase, and the vapors become electronically charged. According to Extreme Energy Solutions' website, the electro-chemically charged gases are burned more completely, causing fewer harmful emissions and improving fuel efficiency.
"Basically, the InterCharger takes dirty emissions, regenerates them into usable fuel and puts them back into the air fuel stream," Burlum said. "Municipalities can extend the lives of existing vehicles by putting these devices in them, rather than investing in new vehicles."
The device, which was developed by another company about a decade ago, was originally used in logging equipment operated by firms in Washington state, Burlum said.
Burlum said it's reasonable to anticipate a 50 to 70 percent decrease in harmful emissions once an InterCharger is installed. Fuel economy varies from vehicle to vehicle, so fuel mileage improvements are variable, he said. For example, in a past trial run, a school bus owned by the school district of Boone County, W. Va., saw its mileage improve from 6.82 miles per gallon to 8.48 miles per gallon after the installation of an InterCharger." SOURCE: NEW JERSEY HERALD
