Big question for all of you! I am looking for information on water fuel cell conversion kits to run your vehicle on water which converts to hygogen and then inputed into the air intake boosting MPH up to 60%? Has anyone tried this and is there any deleterious affects longterm to the engine?

Did anyone use it now? I am trying to find a person using it other than testimonies of individuals on their websites.?

Appreciate any help ?
Thanks
Rob

To reasonably look at the "cost" of this or any other fuel, you have to look at how much energy is expended to make the fuel-- turn the water into H and O2. Ain't no free ride.

While the product of combustion IS water, I suspect that a reasonable amount of fossil fuel was burned to produce the electricity to separate the molecules.

Each time you change forms of energy (fossil fuel to electricity to chemical reaction ((separating water into H and O2)) to burning it in the vehicle engine) there is a loss of efficiency that is converted to heat.

Were the news media interested in FACTS instead of sensationalism, they would look at the whole process and report on the total efficiency. But it would not make such a great story as "car burns water".

Get a gallon milk jug and a small piece of vacuum hose all most the length the jug is high.Make hole in jug lid stick hose in it to go to bottom of jug.now make a hole in the lid for another hose to run to the intake manifold stick one end of hose in jug just to in side of lid the other end to manifold.Fill 3/4 full of water.Theory is that that the humid air being sucked in the engine will expand more than dry air and make more power for gas used.Make sure you don`t suck water from the jug in the engine just the mist from the bubbles it will make.In the real world if you get it right and the mix is right you can get more power,but you can also melt the pistons and the valves.Some air craft in WW II used water injection for take off power but could only use for a short time with out engine damage.

+1 Gas is still cheaper than a engine replacement.

I saw a report on this and if it's true, they refer it to apple and microsoft, both of which were invented in a garage, as this invention was, stranger things have happened. fact is, I hope it works.

The laws of chemistry and thermodynamics have not changed.
File this with the 100 mpg carburetor.
