Hi All,

Came across this site from a span email I received.....http://www.halfwaterhalfgas.com/letterpop.php

talks about a simple method of increasing your mileage....

Has anyone else seen this and tried it out.....sounds ok to me!!!!.......

Regards

It works best if you add a dash of snake oil!

the principle of how it works would only work if you could create energy, which you cant

for every joule of energy you put into splitting water you would get less back when you covert it back to water (by combustion)

Novacain in you avatar - it's "you're" not "your".

p.s. actually you'll get every joule back as you can't create or destroy the energy, though you're completely right that it just won't work in reality as some of the energy will get converted to pointless things like heat/sound.

iank - novocaine is spelt with an e on the end.

I actually thought that you might of put the "in you avatar" wording on purpose

I belive the expression is 'hoist by your own petard'.

---

The expression means "blown up by your own explosive device you were trying to put against the enemy's gates" - however you express it!

The name 'petard' is quite amusing - in French, it means 'farter'! I have drunk with a few blokes whose farts were that lethal!

My weakness is catagory rather than category.

diarohea and apologuise are my favourites. I wonder if either are right there?!
