By the way the amount of hydrogen you can generate is so small it would take you all week to get enough to go to the top of the road ;)

Depends

It may be water injection, which is something else entirely. And its not the water that burns, its the cooling effect of the water vapourising.

I would still say its a scam/misleading, the pics are definately water injection, not what the seller claims at all.

Also there are errors in them circuit diagrams. Shoolkid electronics errors too.
I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.

I tried water in my engine once (not intended to do) and it blew my engine up!!

If it was true then surely all car manufacturers would be doing it and the goverment would be putting a massive tax on water!!!

I remember something about it but not enough to make a comment

I think it was more to do with steam locomotion than burning the hydrogen  something like the heat of the explosion superheating the water into steam thus either reducing the cylinder size or causing a greater force and increasing the power.
And yes I reckon it is a scam if you buy the parts you'll get the instructions he's trying to sell you

All the signs of a good con!

Saw a "Mythbustres" recently where they used a web sold "Hydrogen Conversion Kit" for the car that electrolysed water to produce Oxygen & Hydrogen. Course... nowhere near enough Hydrogen to even start the car never mind run it!

We should get hold of a list of the people who buy this and send them an offer to let thm buy a limited edition £5 note for a tenner... telling them it's an investment for the future!   :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

In theory it should work. Only one problem, how do you produce enough electricty to create enough hydrogen from an engine thats running on the hydrogen your producing.  :?

The more I think about it, the less it makes sense.  Water is an exhaust product of combustion, as skip says it's burning (oxidising) hydrogen that gives you nothing but water, you need to put a lot of energy into water to get hydrogen out.  If it were this easy more people would be doing it.
