In other words you searched on Google and didn't find anything, and that
didn't tell you enough to give up on the idea and thought you'd ask in
here instead.

Google should have told you all you needed to know. As others have said,
if it worked it would be popular and you'd find all the evidence you
need. But you didn't, than that tells you all you really need to know.

If this is the kind of Canadian testing you're talking about, then the
results are *far* from credible.

What I told you was that the things don't work. They have been around in
various form for decades, and various tests over the years have shown
them to be nothing but snake oil

What I *also* showed you was a link to report from the NRMA which stated
that similar devices had been ordered off the market and the companies
who sold them ordered to refund buyers. I case you missed it the first
time, the article is here:

And why do you think that is?

You sound like the kind of person who is looking for a magic fix for an 
age old problem, and unfortunately none exists.
