So what would happen if you hooked an ionic breeze to the back of your car with power leads, in front of your exhaust pipe? You'd still use gas and all of that, I know, and your emissions would obviously still go somewhere, but it would still help if it were feasible. So is it possible?

1. eh, I dont know
I think those are designed for low levels of pollution. The stuff that comes out of a tailpipe would coat the surface of the ionic breeze then it would be useless, most likely.

3. You *are* kidding?
Those ionic things are frauds.

Only a HEPA filter really works.

5. You'd reduce particulate exhaust, but nothing else
Assuming that you installed a particle filter like the 'ionic breeze' claims to be, you'd reduce the amount of particulate pollution you are releasing.

It would do nothing to reduce Sulfer Dioxide, CO2, etc...
