I know the science be hind this is sound, but for all I've looked up I never found much proof. Now in the last few years maybe things have changed. At one time I was ready to put one of these on my ZJ than I started reading all the crap about the water causing more damage than good.

I am open to new idea's and that advances are made. And if it can be proven to work than I may consider trying one out. But it's the proof that I have not soundly found yet. And I a bit to far away to come check it out at your shop..

So............ who knows I do know I need better gas mileage in a big way ...

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.....


Mythbusters tried to run the car on ONLY brown gas--this has been gone over million times.....hey I'm open to anything---lol the H BomB is real

Takes more energy to split the hydrogen atoms from the rest it uses more energy that it makes, I would only guess. I watched the Mythbusters episode too! That is my only source.

All I am saying is there is a guy doing the experiment now that will give us true results. I habe heard other people say I dont know how it works but it is working. But this is my first time to see someone do it that has nothing to gain but MPG he said he bought this kit at lowes I doubt he is a sales rep for lowes promoting this lol. Looks like he started a good write up I know i suscribed to it.

You keep us up to date. I saw the write up on NAXJA and read that stuff but my science says it ain't gonna work, hope I'm wrong.

Exactly, this is the first true experiment that I have seen, Im very excited to hear the results.

From the way it is looking so far this is plausible/busted not looking good by any means. Still waiting for his final results.

Yeah a guy on NAXJA in my chapter (Goodburbon) has been experimenting and it seems to be high maintainence and produce little if any results.

That is what i am talking about

http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthrea...=960648&page=8

Come on you are letting me down I posted this link like two pages ago.

I thought he wasnt getting any results either till his last trip showed results but he ran out of water too quick for definitive results.

Thats what I mean about high maintainence. And his last post 5 days ago said nothing about it being a positive change, at least the last one I read said nothing positive. I'm calling the myth busted!!!

I am still trying to figure out exactly what he is trying to say. As of now i think you are right blue myth may be indeed busted. He hasnt given up his test yet and is still work through a few kinks so we will see with his next update. He did say his overall mileage has been down.

to make this work you have to apply the technology just throwing a hho gen into a car will not do anything unless its an obd1 car and even then you still have to lean the car out in some cases. on obd2 cars an o2 extender works most of the time if that doesnt you can use an efie (unless you have a toyota) and the next step is maf/map enhancers.
the biggest problem right now with these units is that there are so many people out there selling junk that does create hydrogen but it: 1. doesnt create enough to be effective 2. has high output but gets hot way too fast 3. materials that are used are substandard
i have a whole section on this on my website if you want to check it out its on this page http://hhotek.com/nottobuy.html
heres what i am willing to do for someone on this forum i will sell 1 person on here a unit for half price and they can test and evaluate it, if in 30 days they see no significant gains i will give full refund less shipping. (i would prefer for this to be a mod if at all possible) and then post their results on here if anyone is interested in doing this contact me at trevor@hhotek.com

I know this Thread has faded. but I got board and starting looking around on the forum and I seen this. This is not a busted myth. I know for sure its not. My dad has been working on this for years now. and he is getting very close. He currently runs his 200 1/2 ton silverado off half gas and then other half hydrogen. It works well. He is getting 30+ mpg out of his V8. Seen with my own eyes. he has a project truck as well. Have not heard back on it but it seems to be coming slow for him. not much time lately. But this really does work. Not for sure on trevors set up. but the idea does work.

they do work , we have one on a test vehicle at work, they do not produce enough hydrogen to run a car, they produce enough hydrogen into tricking the pcm into running leaner, the addes hydrogen is picked up by the o2 sensors so the pcm leans out the mixture. thus creating better mpg's . it does work , we have an average of 15-mpg increase.
also, adding baking soda increases the contaminets in the water and creates more hydrogen.
