No, these photographs (A & B) do not represent a smoker's lung. As horrifying as they are, these photographs represent a glass plate exposed 1 inch from the exhaust pipe of a Chevrolet Cavalier 1994, equipped with a 3.1 L V6 engine, odometer mileage 30,247. Fuel used ARCO 87 octane regular unleaded. Photo A (magnified x 200 ) shows hydrocarbons (HC) and noxious gases (NOX) deposited on the glass plate after a mere 30 seconds! Photo B shows the same deposits magnified x 2000. Photos C (x 200) and D (x 2000) show an identical glass plate exposed just 10 minutes after instillation of the MAXPower unit. Note the high percentage reduction of hydrocarbons and noxious gas deposits. You can also notice that the remaining unburned hydrocarbons are still separated from each other showing the ionisation still being in effect even after fuel combustion.
