I wonder what that guy was messin with , 100 amps is way out ot the park for most cells.The smack boosterusually runs about 20 amps max, and your car radio takes 10amps. I see a lot of people splicing into the hot wire on their windshield wiper motor for power so the draw can't be that much.

No this isn't perpetual motion, thats crazy, and maybe it takes more energy to make the gas then it gives back to burn it , I don't know , but the alternator is spinnin and the power in many cases is doin nuthin, which is more wastefull in my eyes.

a 20 amp draw on an efficient cell will make 1.7 liters of gas a minute which equates to on average 20% bettermpg on large vehicles and 30% on small ones
