Yes, it's too expensive and the government should lower the duty on it.Hi there,
I think this information may help you out
Have you ever heard of HHO fuel that has got to be the best way to save on gas prices.?
? Imagine the savings. It will cost you about $160, or two tanks of gas to install an HHO
conversion kit
Hydrogen Car Kit - Save Money and Improve MPG Massively
Hydrogen car kit empowers your car to run on water and avoid oil as fuel. A vehicle however
will not be able to run on water alone. There needs to be a mixture of gasoline and water to
enable it to run smoothly.
Even the Water Fuel Conversion Kits - How Using Water As Fuel Helps Cut Your Gas Consumption
Recently,there is increased awareness among many drivers of a technology that uses plain
water tosupplement the cars' gasoline consumption. Called a water fuel conversion kit, it is
a simpleadd-on to your current car engine that uses your car battery to carry out an
electrolysis on water to produce Hydroxy gas (HHO). This Hydroxy gas is used to supplement
the burning ofgasoline in the car's engine.
Hydrogen generator kit for car can be better than gasoline or oil additives to raise gas
mileage. When you make or do it on your own, you can save money on gas but will save lots
of dollars on the kit and reproduce the system for other automobiles on your own.
saving money should be what everyonr thinks off and I have done this by using all ideas from
my free Ebook - http://www.waterfuelkit.net
I purchased the available eBooks that teach you how to run your car on water and installed
one on my "chevy 350 small block," it's pretty easy.0 -
:spam: reported to Abuse
Isn't it time the Abuse team deleted this thread, to avoid attracting these conmen?
edit - I've just been reading one of this pillock's websites
He's got a device for sale on eBay, bid $480 at the moment, which makes 4 litres of gas a minute. That means in an hour it produces about 14 grams of hydrogen.
If you assume the car uses 10 litres of petrol an hour at roughly 60 mph and 30 mpg (which is good for an American car, better than the big Chevrolet engine he mentions), that petrol weighs about 7 kg.
Even though hydrogen has a better calorific output per unit weight than petrol (about 3 times), how on earth can adding about half a per cent extra fuel value increase the mpg from 28 to 38 mpg on a Honda Civic?
energy from fuel used in an hour:
Petrol: 7 kg x 48,000 kJ/kg = 336 MJ
Hydrogen: 0.014 kg x 141,790 kJ/kg = 2 MJ
apparently the cell uses 60 V x 30 A of electricity, nearly 2 kW, which will be 6.5 MJ in an hour
which implies that electrolysis followed by burning is about 30% efficient overall
that's if any of this spammer's claims are actually true, of course :rolleyes: :rotfl:
and the electricity has to come from using more fuel in the engine, of course
and that's the more expensive model , rather than the $80 for 2 jamjars version, which presumably has a much more paltry output0 -

You can't run your car on water. It's an old urban myth (and occasional scam I believe).0

I run my car on water. It's a Land Rover so I fitted a 1000 litre tank to the loadbed, there's a tap the bottom of the tank. What happens is I open the tap and it operates a waterwheel fitted to the rear axle which thus drives the vehicle forward. Obviously I use a lot of water but luckily I'm not on a water meter!
I find it works just as well as the nonsense you are suggesting. :rolleyes:It's my problem, it's my problem

Why is it an urban myth?
You could be right, but i heard it was on the lines of your car battery ignites, electrodes in a sodium-based liquid, the rise in temperature causes HHO which powers the car.0 -
Oh dear another sucker there is one born every minute. The same people believe if we boycott Shell and BP we can force them to lower prices
I tried to run my car in water and this is what I got0 -

Don't you think that if this actually worked effectively and reliably that companies would be manufactuirng cars like thi snow and we wouldn't be paying £6 a gallon? Or have the Illuminati been supressing it to keep oil prices high and line their pockets?
If you look through this board you will see lots of explanations of why this doesn't work.It's my problem, it's my problem

Yes, it's too expensive and the government should lower the duty on it.It is quite feasible to run your car using water as the fuel.
Use a steam engine.
BTW, I have seen demonstrated on a tv program, a car that is powered by AIR (in fact, there is a car with a compresed-air powered engine sitting in a garage in Witham in Essex). This works on the same basic principle as a steam engine, but without the boiler & water tank.
I can't imagine it would have much of a range though, If you displaced 5cfm of air per revolution, you would need a tank the size of a house to go any distance.Never Knowingly Understood.
