This document announces the conclusion the EPA evaluation of the Dynamix device under the provisions of Section 511 of the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act. The evaluation of the Dynamix was conducted upon receiving a request from the inventor of the device. The Dynamix device is claimed to permit an unmodified conventional engine to operate efficiently on a blend of gasoline and hydrous ethyl alcohol. The ratio of gasoline to alcohol is selected by the operator. The device consists of an alcohol fuel storage and handling system, an alcohol/gasoline fuel proportioning valve, and an alcohol/heated air induction system. The Dynamix meters vaporized alcohol and hot air directly into the intake manifold of a vehicle. The flow of gasoline is controlled by the flow of alcohol.
