There have been many discussions about them that I've seen. From what I can tell, it's one of those things that sounds like a good idea on paper, but the benefits don't translate to the improved MPG's to match all the hype.

It looks like a good idea on paper as long as you ignore the fact that it takes more energy to create the hydrogen then you can get by burning hydrogen. If you do the calculations correctly you will find out that it can only get worse mileage than if you just ignored it.

People that don't understand physics are so easy to take advantage of. It's easier than taking candy from a baby.
