Hydrogen Fuel Cells

The first law of thermodynamics is the easy one!
I'm doing little deely's to fit in your fuel line that overcome the constraints of both relativity theories in order to produce enough energy to travel at relativistic velocities and therfore time travel.
They're £999 from halfrauds if you want one.
They don't work on all models.0 -

Cost of production is also a major factor. could this be why there aren't any production fuel cell powered cars around at the moment?
Does this not count?

I do like that halfrouds comment, awsome!
Its not the one like the BBC, that one is an old wet cell, old technology like all the others out there. First of all it has a coil of stainless steel wire that runs down them cylinders you saw. They use more power to run then what gas they produce. You would have to have something 3-4 times the size of that to produce enough gas to make a slightest difference and as you can see where im going that equals more power needed. The point is you would be better off running a set of lights from your battery, and a huge sound system just to top it off whilst traveling with your aircon on full. lol. see where Im going?
There are systems out there that will work and are nothing like the systems seen on the TV etc. Im not sure why they havent shown a newer system, maybe they havent done much research on the technology but in the last 2 years there have been many improvements and like the system I have all I can say is that it does work, maybe not magic like they say but it does work.
Ive worked with engines for over 15 yearsand was very sceptical of stuff like this, Magnets, vortec systems, breather valves, potions for your engine etc etc and I cant belive people fall for them. Even going back a few years now there was a magic chip to add 20% power to your car for a few quid. lol
In actual fact it was a resistor to lower the voltage on you maf sensor, making your engine think it was sucking in more air at a lower temp thus making your engine put more fuel in to compensate.
Stuff like that is just rubbish and should not be given a second look.
As I said before mort hydrogen supplemental systems are total rubbish and again not given a second look.
Just do your reasearch like I said, you will find the ones that are made properly and fitted professionally before you get your eyes ripped out.0 -
Sorry I forgot to say there are 2 companies in the UK who use the same manufacturer, Hydrodrive and Hydrotechnix.
I had mine done through the first one.0 -
A quick Google search shows a couple of dodgy websites peddling the same tired old scam under (yet) another new name. It looks like you've been conned nev.
Check this link to a company brave enough to admit they were scammed: http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/BU0809/S00583.htm0 -
ok I've been conned, lots of people on the net tell me the same thing.
Have they got one on there vehicle? no is the answer all the time.
I think over the years there has been plenty of people saying it dosent work and they were right I'm not saying there wrong at all.
The old systems were a complete con and the test above like lots of others are on the old technology.
Over the last few years the new dry cell systems have been bettered and bettered just like mordern day engines they keep getting better using less fuel to get further.
Same with the hydrogen cells but they have been using less power to produce more gas.
I'm pleased with my system and people can say all they want about it but unless the fuel fairies are topping my car up every night while I sleep then I will continue to use my system and save the little bit of fuel I do as every penny counts these days.
Just to add, I have just tried to find some pics of the system I used and a system typically on the net that is a con. All I can find is the con ones in the images search on google, typical as thats probs why so many people get conned buying the scams, there are hundreds of them, page after page and none of them look anything like the one I have.0 -
ok I've been conned, ...
Don't worry about it. You're not the first and I'm sure you won't be the last to think you can get something for nothing.
Stick with MSE and hopefully you'll soon be able to spot the cons without having to waste your money on buying & fitting one first

I hope people do take note and not waste money on fake systems and cons but if anyone wants advise on the system I have then I dont mind, works for me thats all I need to know but thankyou for being one of the sceptical people who think just because there are people selling duff systems you think they all are.0
