So this guy is hawking a new way to boost MPG in cars (up to 107% is some cases he claims) using some distilled water. Thoughts???

It looks legit.... he even signed it, and his picture is on it...

56 day guarantee?????

what happens on the 57th day??

You replace the car.

[der affe]

is it just plain water injection for a n/a car? that can actually h e l p you milage if done properly, and clean your pistons/chambers/etc. , but it does it by cooling and cleaning, not making cold fusion or what ever they claim

[Justin B]

I think what hes trying to do is just inject his vapor "fuel" through the intake manifold--

It's very simple. You don't change your engine or computer. A quart-size (95O cc) container is placed somewhere under the hood. You fill it with DISTILLED WATER and a little bit of BAKING SODA. The device gets vacuum and electricity (12 Volts) from the engine, and produces HHO gas (Hydrogen+Oxygen). The HHO gas is supplied to the engine's intake manifold or carburetor.

Umm, interesting.

[Justin B]

BTW, it has been done before and can work. His system, I think is just supplimenting the fuel from the gas tank, but on youtube there is a guy that powered a dune buggy entirely by the same idea extracting hydrogen from water or something without any gasoline.

It's interesting stuff to look at.

[AndrewBird]

I can't see how that would make even remotely enough gas to make a difference.

Plus, the way it is written and what he says in the video makes me believe he has no idea what he is talking about. He talks about in the video how you connect the bottle to the vacuum hose going to the fuel injector. Huh?

[Justin B]

I dunno about what that whole thing is with the OP's link, but it has been proven to be able to produce gasses and with a quick search there are some grassroots tinkerers that make these into sort of fuel cells (larger scale obviously) or something. I saw it a long time ago on TV, and just looked at it briefly online. At least one guy who was really starting to make progress with it though and could run the engine entirely off of the HHO gas apparently was killed, but there are video's here and there showing the reaction and engines running with it. It's irresponsible to say its entirely impossible, especially when it has been done. Other than that though, I'm not an advocate of it, and am curious about it but not to the point of trying it.

If he had been clearer on what he promised, I could see it working- adding just a little bit of HHO into the air-fuel mixture. However, what he claims as benefits are waaaayy too far-fetched. a 107% increase in fuel economy?

It'd be interesting to try, but not in my car

[AlarmedBread]

From the video it looks to be the same thing as 'seafoaming' your engine, but instead of buying a can of junk, you just use distilled water like someone with some common sense.

[LivingLegend06]

Its a scam. It is entirely possible to run your car on hydrogen, but the energy required to extract the hydrogen from the water is greater than then energy gained by burning it. I have made the same machine that he has you make (less the part where its injected into the car) and I was able to create hydrogen for use in whatever.

If his system somehow does work, then if he switched over to a fuel cell (probably 10 times more efficient than a simple hydrogen electrolyzer) then the gains should increase accordingly so 1070% increased gas mileage, lol. Of course the gas isn't necessary at all(hydrogen alone can run a combustion engine) and this would mean the discovery of perpetual energy.

When hydrogen and oxygen are burned they recombine into water molecules, so if water goes in the car and water comes out of the car, where is the energy coming from?

[IceStationZebra]

What a scam.
