Re: Major Gas Saver - Could This Be "It"?

I have to admit... I'm slightly confused by this device. So they're basically using electrolysis to create hydrogen and then pumping that hydrogen into the air/fuel mixture?

I dunno...

They also seem to be using a play on words, well... lying actually by saying their device is also known as a "fuel cell," but in reality it's not... one could also view it as a "reverse" fuel cell... but even then, that's misleading because it's not a fuel cell at all. A true fuel cell takes hydrogen, combines it with oxygen to make water, and the byproduct of that reaction is excess energy. So a true "fuel cell" vehicle is an entirely electric vehicle by which its only physical byproduct is water... and the biggest reason there aren't such vehicles is because we yet to have the infrastructure, nor the proper storage means for hydrogen... which is what an actual fuel cell runs on... not water.

So again... I dunno... I mean, hydrogen is a volatile substance which I suppose could theoretically add some more "bang" to the fuel/air mixture... but again.. I dunno...
