Water to get better fuel mileage

[Two Rivers]

I just seen this guy advertise they have a hydrogen maker of some sort. It looks like a gimmick. Anyone seen this thing? Hard to believe 20-50% better mileage.
Reminds me of the put a magnet on the fuel line get better mileage scam.
Looked like it plugs into the intake side up stream of the air filter.
1500.00 bucks.

A fool and his money are my best friends.

Water+a few volts = hydrogen.
Hofmann voltameter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"PRINCIPLE USED: Water is split into hydrogen and oxygen by the action of electric current.Pure water doesn't conduct electricity but sulphuric acid(H2SO4)when added to water conducts electricity."

Hard to imagine that the oceans don't have water, or the south doesn't have sunlight.
Large-scale production takes money, and time, and public opinion.

Problem with hydrogen is that once the expensive infrastructure is built, the energy should cost very little to produce without a little conspiracy.

If you add urea directly to the fuel, it will give you a 50% increase in gas mileage. For $100 and a 12-pack of beer, I can make you enough unrefined urea for a tank of gas.

[pwd72s]

Exactly...I was taught to believe that the energy used to produce hydrogen was more than the energy it would yield.

In other words, we're still searching for the perpetual motion machine.

[Oh Haha]

I KNEW this would be posted soon.


A guy I work with has a Marine son in A-Stan who swears that the HHO setup has increased the mileage in his CO's old Bronco from ~8 to well over 20MPG.

He asked me last week if I knew anyone who could build one locally. ( I'm the resident car-guy so I guess that makes me the go-to person ).

[wreckersteve]

I knew a guy who ran one on his car. Homemade and got great mileage. had to worry in the winter months.

[nynor]

huh. i thought this was thoroughly debunked. if not, let me know, as my rover gets about 11MPG in the city. yeah, the winter gasoline bill has been a major bummer.

[Heel n Toe]

I don't know if it works... I'd believe it provided some additional power and mileage if one of the major magazines did an eval on it. Maybe they have.

A guy that lives near me used to sell the kits to make it... the bottles looked like the ones in this link: Water4gas Scam Reviewed | Auto-Facts.org

Time for the coolcollar.

I Don't agree with this...

Do you know ANYTHING about hydrogen?

[Por_sha911]

Maybe the better mileage is from the water decarbonizing the heads?

Forget it. There's no way that the EPA (in collusion with the oil companies) will ever allow dihydrogen monoxide to be used as a motor vehicle fuel.

Absolutely. Dihydrogen monoxide is way too dangerous and already a growing problem! Its already getting into our food supply and its a known fact that too much of it will kill even a healthy adult!

[krystar]

man DMHO is bad. we should like...get signatures and petition to ban it!

[matthew-s]

I don't get it. Is this supposed to work like water injection did on WWII era aircraft?

[krystar]

naw. it's electrolysis mixing hydrogen and oxygen into intake charge. stupid

[Brando]

That's bullsh*&...
