Oh good call! Surprised the material doesn't claim a weight reduction because of the hydrogen.

Tcoat: that floating from hydrogen will add comfort when daily driving and will reduce wear of suspension. I'm surprised that vendors of kit failed to mention those gains

okay thanks for the article, it was a good read. The optimistic child-like self still wants to believe, but i am convinced it is bupkis.
well atleast the Fr-s still gets pretty good gas mileage, well atleast i cant complain. if gas does get bad, i will just get an Elio. Shit i might still, it is only 8k. |

LOL. "HHO"
Assuming there was such a thing, it would be generating H2 and O2, which could be written as "HHOO", I suppose... I wonder what that "generator" could be, using 45Amps... Sounds like it is just a water injection setup that was popular back in the 70s. They supposedly did increase fuel economy a little bit by increasing combustion pressure in the cylinder due to the steam. As well, the cooling effect of the water changing to steam was supposed to cool the intake allowing a higher compression ratio. |

Yeah, I see what they are claiming. I'd like to see what it actually does. Unfortunately, $400 is too much to buy one just to take apart, even for my inquiring mind...

I ran a water injector for strip only on my 440 back in 78. In those days before ECU controls it was a son of a bitch to get the mix right and I finally threw the whole thing away (literally threw it in a fit of frustration). Now, when you manged to get it just right...
