Hydrogen

[WorkerB]

Hi Group,
I was watching the news last week and the newscaster told a story of a mechanic in Reno Nevada that was installing a hydrogen package in peoples cars for $800.00. He guaranteed an increase in mileage. The next morning I started searching the net and came up with what looks like an answer. It may be the answer to our problem. That being high gas and diesel prices. I spent the $97.00 and have been reading. I figured surely someone has already built this wheel. I searched MOC for hydrogen and got a few hits but nothing about this site. So here goes......

If it works I'm a hero. If it's BS I'm a nut job. I figure share the knowledge and lets get on the road. If it works the result will be less demand for the product and maybe it will drive prices down. My gift to you. Enjoy, JohnS

I think the guys at mythbusters tested this. Can't remember the results, but I would be glad to hear how it works for your.

Don't know if this is the same thing but it looks like it. In 1973 when the was a small fuel problem in the US my folks bought and installed this gimmick on our school buses (we owned 3).
They didn't increase fuel mileage a squat. The only thing the increased was the guys wallet that sold the gimmick. If it works I'll be the first to tell you great but it looks the same as what I remember seeing as a kid.
Good luck and keep us updated with the news,
Chuck

There's an old saying If it's too good to be true.......

The Mythbusters did check this one out. It is true that one can produce hydrogen from water. The problem is that it takes a great deal of energy to produce. And while the process did end up making hydrogen it was just a tiny amount. Not nearly enough to run a car or truck!

I think someone is going to have plenty of money to buy as much fuel as they want..... unfortunately it isn't going to be those of us who buy into this type of thing. It is the guy selling it!

Sure wish it were true! Because I'm going to have to seriously cut back on how much we travel.

Well, technology changes. I'm interested in what your results are but I am suspecting what others have expressed.

HOWEVER, Technology Does Change

You can do a search on hydrogen fuel and get lots of results.
