Re: latest hoax/scam

Last time i checked, water and oil don't mix...

So lets see....I inject water vapors into the METAL cylinder where the METAL piston and rings do its thing all the while oil is in the cylinder wall to keep it lubricated...

Now water is great for hydraulic pressure.....just get a water jacket leak and have the oil pan fill up with water.

Re: latest hoax/scam

the HHO from electrolysis is for real, but as i understand it, you would put way more energy into the electrolysis process to get the gasses than you could get back from the gasses themselves.

Re: latest hoax/scam

I'd really love if this worked. I hope it make sense. If people don't have intelligent info on this product, I hope they do nothing here to distract from a thought provoking discussion where if this thing works we could save alot of money

Re: latest hoax/scam

I actually had a firehawk I put a supercharger on that had a water injection system on it to cool the intake mixture and increase the octane....so water and gas do mix
:-)
...it is also cheaper to refill the water tank!

You sir are correct! It is possible to seperate the hydrogen from the oxygen in H2O (basically yeilding rocket fuel) but the amount of energy needed for the split is far greater than the amount of enrgy produced. Tim

Re: latest hoax/scam

About the energy used, The product is only hooked to the battery for power? What energy is used, increased battery usage for the alternator?

The kit is on sale on ebay for 30-60$. anybody willing to step up and try. Who has an old hoopty as a test subject.

Re: latest hoax/scam

isn't this just getting hydrogen from the water and injecting it into the engine? your gonna need a lot of water.. and a lot of batteries to actually move a vehicle a significant distance and speed

I think you are correct. No free lunch. An on board device like this would never be able to generate an appreciable amount of hydrogen to use as fuel.
