Snake Oil in the Comments

This morning, I received the following as part of the comments thread on an old post:

Seo Link Master has left a new comment on your post "Alternative Fuel: Salt Water?":

Fuel is the adrenaline of any car, truck or engine. Thus, it is every vehicle owner's wish to enhance the fuel of their car and save more of it as well. With this in mind, the most innovative fuel-saving tool in the automotive industry was conceptualized and created: the Tornado Fuel Saver. An automotive air channeling tool that creates a swirling air motion, the Tornado Fuel Saver allows the air to move in a faster and more efficient way by whirling air around corners and bends. Hence, more fuel is saved. Search engine optimization, Try to Be happy

Seems like spam, which is pretty unusual in my comments section (actually, comments are pretty unusual in my comments section). I clicked through the link, curious as to what "swirling air motion" had to do with anything in a fuel injected engine, and discovered a small gem of snake oil.

The Bio Fuel Saver stick is treated to produce a bio-energetic field; this field enables interaction with the fuel changing the molecular structure of the carbon hydrogen. This leads to a better burning process and less exhaust gases.

Basically, they want you to buy a magnet you drop into your fuel tank. Clever. "bio-energetic field"

How does it work? Why that's even more creative!

Space between molecular structures posses hidden energy. Every Material has it's own unique information structure. N-G has over 20 years of research into space energy manipulation, enabling an ability to program molecular structures to give a known performance value to a desired application.
You may ask, what is a molecular structure?A molecular structure is made up of atoms, every atom is defined by the number of electrons, protons and neutrons in it. These three elements are arranged together to form a specific atom, just like the components of DNA are formed to make a specific DNA code.
The atom is encoded with information about how the electrons, protons and neutrons are to arrange themselves in a material formation. N-G is able to use this information within structures to change material characteristics thus bringing out the desired effect.
Forming the above information structure within a material allows N-G to create a bio-energetic field that will influence the structure of the fuel, allowing a cleaner more efficient burning process.


What this has to do with swirling air, I have yet to figure out. I still have a soft spot for a creative con and this one is pretty funny.
