    Swim to work?

    Really, what does Hyundai think about those $50 mason jar rigs?

    Does it work? Will it fry the engine?

    This is just plain BS. If you were to extract ALL the hydrogen contained in
    a gallon of water, you would be able to run a car about 60 miles. The
    problem you get into is how much energy you must use to get the water to
    separate - somewhere around 47 kWh / kg. If this mason jar thing was making
    enough hydrogen (and oxygen) to make any kind of difference, you'd be
    filling it every 10 miles or so.

    I've looked at several web sites with varying opinions on the
    water-for-fuel schemes and there seem to be many conflicting opinions
    (from those not selling kits or instructions). While home-made
    hydrogen only vehicles are a myth although billions of dollars are
    being spent on commercially produced hydrogen vehicles), there seems
    to be some evidence that hydrogen add-on system that suplement
    gasoline may actually result in improved mileage. As one web site
    noted, this would be an excellent episode for Mythbusters.

    Mythbusters already tested a hydrogen supplemental system, and it
    didn't work for crap. You simply can't generate enough hydrogen from
    water using the car electrical system to make a car run, or even
    effect it's mileage as a supplement to the gas engine. It's crap.

  6. The Hartford Courant had an article about a CT company making kits for
    hydrogen. They allegedly increase mileage by 60% withthe system, but it
    adds a lot of pressure to the combustion chamber and can shorten engine life
    as well as more strain on the battery. No actual testing was done my the
    newspaper. If nothing else, it certainly would void the engine warranty. .

    Cool! Now why don't you show your public spirit by going down to your
    local police station and pissing in all of their gas tanks. I'm sure
    they will show you their appreciation.
