wow, very cool...


funny, im watching top gear right now and they were talking about filling up when its cold cause the gas is more dense and you get more for your money...

actually freezing parts is not a new thing, CTM deep freezes their U-joints so that the molecules in the steel stack tighter, and in formation. the result is a VERY STRONG u-joint

Arent most tanks underground?

It stays about 55 deg F year round when you are 4 feet deep or more.

Also, the nozzle/computer/pump is supposed to compensate for the temp I thought?

Yeah. I have also seen rotors that have been cryoed.

Croyed gun barrel improves harmonics and improves accuracy...pretty expensive to do that though. Wonder how much it would cost to do a whole engine lol.

I think I'd like to see a real study done by scientists. A local news report just doesn't cut it for me.

If this really worked, then the big 3 should have been all over it to keep up with government mandated fuel effiency requirements.
