i would like to try it but i dont know about all the long term effects of it on an engine.. not really trying to possibly ruin my engine for something that might be pure bs.

 

at work we put a hho kit on my bosses buick and it made a 7mpg increase. we built a couple more. one for my f150, his 57 belair, and his 29 ford. all of witch showed gains in fuel economy

 

To those who've made the point that this is a scam- you are right when considering that it cannot be used as a complete replacement for gasoline.

To those who've made the point that it improves mileage by reducing gasoline consumption- you are right as well. The computer will compensate for it.

I'm betting that you can get similar results by setting up a propane feed to the intake. One fuel is replacing another, that's all it is.

On the 50 mpg carb note- research the Pogue carburator- 200 mpg. If this carb is available, why aren't they using it? BECAUSE THEY DON'T EFFING CARE, that's why. Call it kickbacks from the oil companies, call it government regulation, call it whatever you want- quite simply the auto companies don't care what MPG their cars get as long as it's just a little bit better, if not at least comparable to, the competition. If you ask me the technology has existed for years for our vehicles to get much better efficiency, but through whatever means be it suppression or public ignorance, it's not widely and readily available. The car companies don't care because the public, as a general whole, doesn't care either. If we did there would be a serious oil boycott, but we're still driving our giant pick ups and SUV's and spending $100 at the gas pumps.

We all like to whine about it, but we don't really care enough to take any serious action.

There are ways to seriously improve MPG's through mods, whatever they may be. But it takes patience and research. Just last year a couple of guys appeared on the today show claiming a mod they invented was getting them 160 MPG- what's really funny about it, is that since their appearance, nothing's been heard of them or their mod. I'm not jumping on the conspiracy bandwagon, but if people really gave a crap about their fuel bills, that technology would be spreading like wildfire.

 

nice point.. i agree with you 100%

heres a lnk i found on youtube.. if mythbusters says it can work it can work! lol.

YouTube - ‪HHO Mythbusters Explained‬‏

 

I wouldn't be against doing an HHO modification on my truck if I could see a 5 mpg or better increase. I just don't know if this actually works or not. Just because someone says it does, doesn't always mean its true.

 

Yeah except that mythbusters only proved it was possible for a car to run on hydrogen, they didn't have a successful test ergo the backfire.

Again I am not challenging that hydrogen will work, I just think that it's better for assisted MPG instead of total fuel replacement. But we're still @ the point of the general public not giving a damn.

 

I really couldnt care less if a car can run on hydrogen or not. But if it can run on it alone then it must mean that you should be able to substitue it in the place of some gas to reduce fuel costs and thats what i care about

 

How much hydrogen is being produced as the engine is running? I doubt it's more than a fart in the breeze, therefore rendering it useless.

 

If petrol driven automobiles got 50+ MPG's, what would Shell, Exxon, BP have @ stake for individuals such as YOU, ME, and everyone else on this forum and around the Globe. I bet their $36,000,000,000.00 profit would not exist from this years' 1st quarter earning's. Did anyone miss that??? Yes, the 3 or 4 BIG Oil companies were summoned back to Capitol Hill once again to explain theirselves. How can you explain $3.50+ gallon and $36,000,000,000.00 PROFIT??? Either way, We, the American people, and it's Immigrants that live and work hard everyday to support ourselves and our familes will never see the end to the BIG Oil companies. They are mainly a huge Monopoly that the government simply gives them a slap on the wrist for their wrongdoing's.

Just my $.02...

 

40 MPG cars have been around since atleast the early 90's. I had a 93 escort that would get over 40MPG if I didn't beat on it. The problem is HP sells at the dealership. People that can afford new cars want something fast and fun. They don't see the MPG utill later. I now have a 05 focus that gets 32 MPG. Why does the new car get worse milage, b/c of the 45 additional poneys. Just my 2 cents!

 

well i lo9ve my "big giant truck" and I know trucks have there practical side, now as for getting rid of it, not for a long while but on the other end I don't drive it ***** nilly either, i plan my trips to save gas, but i also am looking into doing simple mods to gain MPG, heck if this thing doesn't pan out to be a farce (and im calling BS untill i see a video of one in action from an FTE member and see it in person to ask questions about it) i may look into this HHO thing...

 

Now here is a car that actually works:

Volkswagen XL1 Diesel-Hybrid, 261 mpg!

I can see a car getting little mpg gains from a HHO system if it made cleaner, colder air for the engine, not much else.

 

I agree with that. The Escort also probably weighs 500 pounds less.

 

I'm fairly sure that the HHO mod is not going to provide any gains. If it does, it will be so little that its not worth messing with.

 

If you ignore science and logical thinking, it's a great idea!
