Free Performance Cable Offering in LA - Anyone?
Hey Guys,
Would any of you be interested in testing the newly developed performance ground cable for BMW? My friend Jaden is the inventor and he's willing to give out 3 cables for free ($300 value each) if you can come down to Irvine to test and share the result. I have tested on my GLA250 4matic and E55 AMG and the results are quite amazing, just the fuel economy alone has improve 13~16%. Let me know if you want more info on it. You can email to info@jtmkit.com to schedule a meet up. (US Patent US9349503) Not limited to year or BMW model as long as it's turbo charged. Last edited by fishark; 11-17-2018 at 03:24 PM.. |

Performance ground cable you say? Improves fuel economy 13-16%?
Effective grounding is important, but heavy gauge ground cables aren't going to improve performance measurably. Carmakers are putting in technologies like start/stop, hybrid tech, low rolling resistance tires, active aero, and electronic power steering to eek out a few points of fuel economy here and there. If all it took were some thicker ground cables, do you really think the engineers at BMW wouldn't do that? Any first year electrical engineer knows how to create an effective ground path. A "performance" ground cable doesn't have a patent. They're just thicker gauge copper cables. $300 each for a copper cable? lol, you can go to Home Depot and get some OHFC 0 gauge copper cable for $0.75/foot. "Performance" ground cables are all completely pointless for any halfway modern car. It's possible it could help slightly on some older cars with questionable grounding, but cars today are grounded very well. |

The video is poorly made but at least you gotta try this cable.
Do you know most cars' ground cable are the same cable used 20 years ago? If you have a high-end stereo system or expensive Blueray Disc Player, would you use standard cable to connect to speakers or TV? Mark |

Patent Document
I went through the document and it's a lot more than the copper and it's a lot more expensive to make than standard cable. But even the manufacturer knows better cable structure leads to better car performance, do you think they will offer that as a standard to consumers? No, because makers won't make money off things like cables where people can see through and calculate exact cost. When I buy good stereo system, I've never found "high quality" cables come with the package. I capture first 2 pages of patent. Feel free to download the full document.

Yet the person who you claim invented it Post 1 is Justin at jtmkit.com Quote:
On their homepage, it is stated that “JTM is a US patented aftermarket product company”. Where are Justin’s patents for JTM that you stated in post 1 he invented and patented, as well as referenced on the webpage? I’ve never know that a company could be patented. Trademarked and Service Marked, yes.....patent no.... Just saying “Just Truly Miracle” Technology looks more and more like snake oil the more you post.

What a load of rubbish, has he forgotten that there is also a positive side on the battery, what about that? Using speakers as an anology you’d think about both and not just one side but having said that earthing is important in order to ensure that you have a consistent ground.

BMW’s ASS saves about 3% mpg. To implement that they beefed up the starter, the battery, implemented various additional sensors on the engine, spent untold man-hours programming the software, added an extra button in the car, tested the whole thing for years in development, and covers it all under warranty. With auto manufacturers going to extreme lengths to save a couple percent of fuel economy here and there, I personally kinda doubt they’d leave your claimed 13-16% on the table if they could just upgrade a cable. |

http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm http://verber.com/mark/ce/cables.html https://www.geeksaresexy.net/2012/03...-coat-hangers/ Your friend's patent application is full of the same BS that high priced audio/video cable makers use to cheat people who have no idea how audio and video gear works, and now he's extended it to the automotive realm. It's not as silly as the stuff you'll find here, but it won't work any better either: http://audiophile.rocks/index.html http://www.machinadynamica.com/index.html And my personal favorite: |

I just bought and installed, and boy are you all wrong. I just got 2000 miles on a tank! Also noticed a nice improvement in exhaust sound and my car now has the HK sound system and it didn't before I installed the miracle cable. Truly a miracle. Awesome...
For real though, I think chiefneil hit the nail on the head. No way BMW spends whatever they spent developing AS/S and all of it's requisites to pick up 3% fuel efficiency if this is true. There is a 0.00% chance that they wouldn't slap a beefier cable in for a couple bucks a car to pick up quintuple the gains of AS/S.

I don't know guys.....I got 15% additional MPG's while adding 80hp, simply by adding Centrifugal Yarbol Bearings matched to the piston return springs.
Needless to say my burbles were NEXT LEVEL when I finally installed muffler bearings....damn...., I miss that scooter .

US Government has Fleet Standards for mileage across the entire, well, fleet (Company Line of Cars). One of the reason that Tesla is in business right now is they are selling excess fleet credits to other car companies. If a $300 magic cable would increase mileage by 16%, every car manufacturer would have it installed using the funds they pay Tesla. Furthermore, it would eliminate any gas guzzler charge on a vehicle. And in that kind of volume, the $300 part would probably cost less than $5. Next. |

What is even more priceless on this Snake Oil Pitch, is that video. Took a while to stop throwing up from all the movement to post this, but did you even look at how those "magic cables" were installed? One connects the battery negative to the metal chassis in the trunk. The other, battery negative in the engine compartment to the engine block.
So the "magic cable" improves the conductivity to the metal frame. What about that POS metal frame as a conductor? Only reason the engine is grounded to the negative battery terminal is for the starter. Priceless! |

Literally ask any electrical engineer. Any one who studied electrical engineering in college. For a DC voltage, all that matters is pretty much the resistance of a cable which is determined by the cross sectional area of the cable and inversely related to the length of the cable. A simple cable with a specific gauge and a given length will perform exactly the same as another cable with the same gauge and length. Using silver will slightly improve performance, but all you need to do is make the copper slightly thicker to make it perform the same way. So using silver as a conductor is a huge waste of money. Making a copper cable slightly thicker will perform just as well at a fraction of the price. Also, using a silver plated copper cable is purely a scam. It will not improve performance in any measurable way. |
