Default Hydrogen Fuel Cell

Tired of high gas prices?
Gas prices have gone sky high and are expected to hit the 5 dollar mark by the end of this year. As a whole (the American population) thinks we have no choice but to grin and bear the current fuel situation. But wait there is a tried and true solution to this: "The Hydrogen Fuel Cell". It sounds like science fiction right, but its not it is available TODAY. We have developed a kit that actually creates 1.8 liters per minute of hydrogen by using only electricity. The kit we have mounts into a vehicle, you pour in water and our proprietary solution, hook your battery up and in minutes you are making your alternative fuel source that will increase your mpg by more than anything else on the market.
You may think this is a new theory but its not in fact its almost 30 years old. Stan Meyers drove a dune buggy powered only by hydrogen across the US. He did this with less than 30 gallons of water. His idea was actually so good the pentagon offered him a job after his cross country trip to work on his design with them. He went missing within the next year.
If saving money on gas is of interest to you then check out our website which has videos and about any question you could ask answered in our FAQ section.

Thanks for the heads up, that looks very interesting. Now that gas is getting high I think people are going to start working more on alternative methods.

Sweet! I ran into a this whole water4gas deal a few weeks ago and my mom said she's pay for it if I put it on my jeep! This would be awesome if it worked. The one I found was much cheaper but it was like go to the hardware store and buy the stuff, so I don't know. But I'll update you guys when I have it running. O and their are forums devoted to this alone.

This a scam and a joke. Mythbusters tested this kit out and it was a flop did absolutely nothing. Just away for people to profit from other people trying to save money...

If you wanted to prove it really works the vid on your site should have lit it on fire. The amount if any at all it makes will do nothing, sorry but that's true science not myth or profiteering.....

About half way down the page, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MythBusters_(season_4)
And I'm still looking for the other links(most all were lost when I rebuilt my PC about 3 months ago) I'll post the links as I come across them again..

The Great Gas Conspiracy

The "Great Gas Conspiracy" mentioned in the myth is the conspiracy theory that gasoline companies are secretly in league with the car manufacturers to produce fuel-inefficient vehicles, to fatten their profits and split the difference. The myths tested are ways found on the Internet that one can supposedly beat this conglomerate and get cheap, easy, and spectacularly improved fuel efficiency for your car.

Theories tested to see if cheap fuel efficiency can be achieved were…

This is the closest you'll get to running on water in a car and the kit isn't even released yet.. http://www.switch2hydrogen.com/

sorry i had forgot that i had made this post here and did not check back till now.
to address the concerns i have a QUAD cell on a 96 grand cherokee v8 and it gets 38 mpg if you baby it. we even saw improved mpg pulling the boat last weekend. the only modification we have added a apexi safcII to take fuel out. there are many other mods that can be made to improve even further but i have not had time to test them because actual production is killing me right now we are selling them unbelievably fast and so far i have had one unsatisfied customer and he was not happy because i forgot put 1 nylon washer between the plates, each layer of plates get a nylon washer for optimal spacing and i skipped one apparently but that was resolved quickly by me sending him out a new set of plates.
the problem with most of the kits out there is that to get any decent production enough to make a difference the cell gets really hot because you have alot of voltage that is wasted in the typical cell configuration well after a couple hundred tests(literally) we found a way to utilize only the voltage we needed to create hydrogen it puts out a modest amount at only 500ml min but you need 500ml min per 2.0 liters of motor to see any real changes in mpg.
im sure there are alot of skeptics out there that call this bs, i was opne of them when i first heard about it but i assure you it works. to anyone that is close to rutherfordton nc you are more than welcome to take a ride out to my shop and see it work in person.

as far as showing it on fire thats not a good idea i will however get a video tmrw of the tube going into a bucket of soapy water and ignite the bubbles and post it on here. also hydrogen burns at 40,000 feet per second in comparison to gas which burns at 7000 ft per sec so to even see a flame you would have to have a high speed camera setup but you can hear the very loud pops that it makes when you blow up the bubbles.

if anyone has any question feel free to email me trevor@huntermetalfabrication.com

Looks like we have a guy testing this over on NAXJA. He is using a Eclipse but none the less we have some one that installed it.
