Mile Edge Plus is proud to announce that their patent for their product "The Edge" has been approved. You can view the United States Patent information by clicking here or by searching the patent #7942139 on the united states patent office website (http://www.uspto.gov). The U.S Government does not award patents to any product with similarities to others. Therefore the patent establishes the Edge as a truly unique product and unlike any other device on the market. The document is very long and thorough so below we included some highlights we feel that are important to show to our potential customers.

" A ring insert that provides for an increase in air flow leading to a correlating increase in fuel efficiency for an internal combustion engine that is placed into a throttle body before a butterfly in a gas powered engine or at an intake tube or right before said intake tube in a diesel engine comprising: a body having an outer surface and an inner surface, a portion of said outer surface adapted to be inserted within an air intake conduit, said body having a forward edge and a rearward edge, said forward edge being roundly contoured at an angle between 45 and 90 degrees; and said inner surface including an annular surface in the shape of a truncated cone defining an annular inclined surface that is narrower at said forward edge than at said rearward edge forming a venturi directly adjacent said rearward edge said inner surface having a completely smooth and ungrooved surface thereby providing for laminar flow and reducing turbulence so that as air is forced through said body from said rearward edge to said forward edge the air is compressed increasing the velocity of the air and decreasing the pressure of the air, said air compression and decrease in pressure being caused by the vacuum created by said roundly contoured forward edge.

" A method of increasing oxygen flow only into the combustion chamber of an engine comprising the steps of: locating an intake conduit on said engine; locating a hose connected to said conduit through a securing means; removing said securing means; inserting into said intake conduit a ring insert that provides for an increase in air flow leading to a correlating increase in fuel efficiency..."

" The present invention relates generally to inserts for intake conduits for an internal combustion engine for the purpose of increasing oxygen flow into the combustion chambers of the engine to increase power thereby achieving greater torque and horsepower, increase gas mileage and have the engine run leaner to decrease smog and burn less fuel... " LINE 122

" The more oxygen that is supplied within the combustion chambers the more complete ignition of the fuel is achieved within the combustion chamber. The more complete the burning of the fuel, the greater the torque and horsepower that is achieved from the engine. Also, the more complete burning of the fuel minimizes exhaust emissions from the engine. The more complete burning of the fuel, the better the fuel economy... " LINE 134

" A first basic embodiment of the present invention is directed to a ring insert for an air intake conduit of an internal combustion engine that utilizes a body which has an outer surface and an inner surface. A portion of the outer surface is to be inserted within an air intake conduit of an internal combustion engine. The body has a forward edge and a rearward edge with both the forward edge and the rearward edge being smoothly contoured. The inner surface of the body includes an annular surface in the shape of a truncated code defining an annular inclined surface that is narrower at the forward edge than at the rearward edge forming a venturi, whereby as air is forced through the body the air is compressed increasing the velocity of the air and decreasing the pressure of the air with the airflow becoming laminar causing increased oxygen to be delivered into the combustion chamber of the engine.

Story about the Edge
We first introduced The Edge fuel saving device to racers at Irwindale Speedway in April of 2005. The reason we created it was to haul the racecars to the racetrack. The first concept showed substantial improvement in throttle response and torque. Racers and members of the management used the units to test at the racetrack. People who used the product gave positive feedback. The increased torque was expected from the Edge, the thing we did not expect but happy to hear were the comments regarding improved fuel mileage. These claims made us want to invest in some additional testing for mileage analysis so we can get some true data and there was an improvement between 5% to over 15% in both gas and diesel applications.
