Run your vehichle on water...

I was talking to Brink, Ornamental, Waytec and Immortal about this tonight...just thought I'd share...

Bullshit......

The energy required to decompse water is more than you can get from burning it.  The second law of thermodynamics can not be broken.

there is a truck for sale on usedcalgary.com with the system, and smack my arse, it could possibly work.  through electrolysis you can isolate hydrogen, and typically store or burn it... so if the system runs off a heavy duty alternator, it would be possible to get some hydrogen..... i don't know how much or if it'd make a difference.    from teh looks of the online kits or whatever i just looked at briefly, it just taps into the intake system and feeds hydrogen into the air/fuel mixture. might make some difference, but 50% better fuel economy??  hmmm

Here's another video I found regarding this... 
It seems to be a legit idea

JohnB does have a point though, it takes a lot of enery to breakdown water into oxygen and hydrogen, not sure if it's more or less than you'd get from burning it as my highschool chemistry grades weren't great. But with that process you are taking H2O and creating H2 and O2, while this new idea they're talking about is for creating HHO. They're not complete seperating the hydrogen and oxygen, but rearanging the molecules. You still have 2 hydrogens and one oxygen, but with a different arrangement, and apparently the same characteristics of regular hydrogen. It seems as though the energy requirement for this new method might be little enough to actually work, if it can be made efficient enough.

Most of the articles I've read, and videos I've seen, the DIY kits you can make create only moderate amounts of HHO. Meaning there's not enough to run the vehicle from, but as an additive it is able to subsidize your fuel consumption, giving you much better fuel milage. People have said they got anywhere from a 10-12% increase to one I heard about with a grand cherokee getting 56 MPG.

In the video below, this guy says (and seems to have working proof) he created a system that can create enough hydrogen on the fly to actually run without Gasoline.

Hmmmm do it yourself hydrogen gives me a mental image of the Hindenburg, seemed to work out well for them  ;)

It MUST be more....  Go read up on second law of thermodynamics.   Unless the universe has started to collapse, this is all a bunch of BS....

My car gets 65 mpg, big deal.....  100 mpg is simple with no crazy BS science....

you are taking H2O and creating H2 and O2,

Actually they are creating and burning (so they claim) H1 not H2 so you are getting twice as much burnable gas. Apparently it takes a short period of time for the hydrogen to regroup itself into H2 but it is created and burnt right away instead of stored and then burnt so its H1 not H2 and by that reasoning its twice as much gas. They call it browns gas.
