But a Filipino inventor may have come up with a solution, developing a device that is both environmentally friendly and cost effective. SUGGESTED VOICE-OVER: Pablo Planas was working as a Jeepney operator, around thirty years ago, when he came up with the idea for the Khaos Super Turbo Charger. Named after the Greek Goddess of Air, the KSTC works by maintaining the optimum air-gas ratio in the combustion engine. A vehicle's carburettor mixes this amount of gas and air when the throttle is fully open. But when the engine is idle, there is not really enough air pumping into the engine as the throttle is nearly closed and the flow is restricted. Planas says this means some fuel is wasted and pollutants are released into the atmosphere. But he claims his devices rectifies this. SOUNDBITE: (Tagalog) "This device works by.....when you release gas (into the engine) and the throttle closes, the engine cannot take air into the carburettor, or the part of the engine that should be supplying air. This device pumps the right amount of air into the engine. So even while it's idle, the mixture (of gasoline and air) is correct. Step on the gas and the mixture is also correct. If the mixture is always correct, there will be no unburnt fuel, no pollution. That's called complete combustion." SUPER CAPTION: Pablo Planas, Inventor At the Manila marketing office for Khaos - mechanics are busy installing the devices. Motorists who have been using the KTSC say it's excellent value for money. SOUNDBITE: (Tagalog) "You will be able to save on gas. You no longer need to make daily trips to the gas station." SUPER CAPTION: Lito Domingo, Motorist SOUNDBITE: (English) "Before the installation of the gadget, I normally consumed seven kilometres per litre (seven kms to the litre). After the installation, now I consume 10 kilometres per litre (10kms to the litre). So almost 30 percent is my saving. As far as the performance of the engine is concerned, it is very smooth. The engine performance is very much (more) excellent now than before. And another thing is, it is zero pollution." SUPER CAPTION: Luciano Caparas, Motorist Despite coming up with the idea in 1973, Planas only started to sell the gadget last year. He said he wanted to make sure his theories were correct before launching the product. The KTSC has passed tests conducted by the Philippines Department of Energy and the Automotive Research and Training Centre of Taiwan. The device has also been displayed at several overseas exhibits.
