if i remember correctly from a thread in the alt. fuels section the problem is that you can not produce enough electricity to get it to seperate to get the gas out of the water....but that was with a 100% waer fueled car now with it being a hybrid i dont know. but i would be asking why they dont have videos of cars that have this on it with some of their other videos....

And...you can run your car on water...literally...just go out and find yourself a 1960's German Amphicar, imported into the US in 1965/67.
It came with props and a rudder, so get one and head for the lake.
Warning...the freeboard is about 6 inches, so make sure the water is calm.

I remember customers bring all kinds of gas savers in to have us install them in the 70's. You had the insulator that went in the coil wire to create a hotter spark. The different carb base plates with either screen wire or two propellers to atomize the fuel better. The fuel pressure regulator. The one thing they all had in common was the instructions said to install the device and advance timing two degrees. If you advance the timing and throw the device in the trash can you get the same results.

want to increase your fuel mileage just get fancy distributor without points, wire it good, replace your voltage regulator, alternator, and make sure your motor and carburetor is strong and healthy. 15mpg highway over here

lol...
"HHO provides the atomic power of Hydrogen, while maintaining the stability of water."
These people are idiots.....and that site has "scam" written all over it.
The problem with extracting gases from water is still the same...Energy input for the process is greater than energy output....meaning you will actually consume MORE power than without this crap.
WTH...a "56 day guarantee?" That sounds fishy too....I'd read the fine print to find out what happens in 56 days!

Kinda like when the "new" Splitfire plugs came out and they had all these people brag'n about how much better their car ran after installing them.
WELL............the fact they needed plugs, ANY plugs, it usually runs better. Better to save the $8/plug for gas(get the .99 plugs, the work just as well).

You know....as an update to this.....
When visiting my Brother in South Carolina a month or two back, he was telling me about these "devices" he was experimenting with....along with another guy in town. Their system was a set of PVC pipes that basically split water into seperate Hydrogen and Oxygen with simple electricity, this "device" was then fit to the air intake of the vehicle...
The reasoning being that it would both add hydrogen as a burnable component and introduce additional Oxygen to support the burn cycle......he claims he got slightly better mileage...and was in the process of building another larger one....
Well, the day before I left town....his "friend" had a problem with his little car.....It blew up! lol
He had failed to wire this system into the ignition, so it ran the whole time he was filling up his gas tank and left him with a explosive quantity of Hydrogen inn the system at start up.....and BLAM!
Just a funny story I thought I'd pass on.....
