Hydrogen

mostly nonsense.

Snake oil injection works well too I hear

how much is it to have it fitted? and how long will it take to get the money you`ve spent for the gadget back and for you to start saving!

if they worked wonders as they say am sure they would be better off selling it to manufacturers of cars and vans and maybe lorrys, and now days you can buy cars that do over 50mpg allready so is it really worth it!

Surely if its as good as described it would be a common conversion and everybody would know about it.
Or is it good and its just been badly promoted.

My understanding is that large amounts of energy are required to break down the atomic bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen to convert them into two separate combustable elements. Much greater than the 1 amp, presumable at 12 volts, that the artical refers to.

My verdict: super slippery snake oil.

Its the old Browns Gas thing again - I know a company in my village who tried to market a similar system. The amount of gas required to make any difference to fuel consumption or emmissions is huge, and needs a second alternator to produce the required power ..... which requires a lot of engine power .....

hydrogen burns quicker than petrol, so putting a small amount into the cylinder will spread the petrol burn quicker, thus making it more efficient. Thats the only way i can see it making it more efficient, as said the energy used to split water is the same as what you get back from forming it.

cant be arsed myself. probably find the alternator will burn out quicker and diminish all fuel savings...

My old mondeo did near 50 MPG and the new laguna does nearer 60.

Sounds great, if only its true? Anyone care to give a testimonial?
Couple of things that ring bells are the comments 'splitting' the hydrogen from the oxy.. nuclear fusion?

And, the 'water vapour' emissions.. not sure on that one either. Isn't that just steam?

And, 1 litre of water every 6 months? sounding more pie in the sky if you ask me.

Lets see someone who's using it hold their hand up.


JoelP - 26/9/10 at 07:28 PM

a litre lasting 6 months just shows how poor the device is at splitting the water apart!

I'll admit that IC engines arent that efficient, so there is space for an additive to make a difference in efficiency. However, reducing emisions to zero, or doubling MPG, is utter nonsense. You'd get the 20% they claim just by driving more carefully.

The moment they mention browns gas or HHO, they reveal themselves as conmen.
