We have another thread on that and others. It's a scam. If it doesn't sound probably, it ISN'T!!! If it was, why wouldn't the automakers be doing it? Or at least other people. Imagine, how can you take your exhaust and put it back in your engine? Especially just by a cat...

Did you read the link? I'm not saying it works, but they are saying you can break down the gas before combustion to make it burn more thoroughly and efficiently. It has nothing to do w/ reburning exhaust gases.

How does a catalytic converter in the exhaust portion of the car help gas molecules BEFORE combustion?

It doesn't. They are putting something like a cat before the combustion chamber, and breaking down the fuel before the chamber, so it burns more efficiently.

By all means if you don't think it is a scam, DO IT. I do think it is a scam, and would never put my money into some stupid ad with poor grammar, and crappy math.

I just pointed out that this same thing was discussed on a different thread. Trying to help, but sounds like you are going for the bait...

If it was real...it would be front page news, top store of every news hour. It would sell for THOUSANDS because it would be a BIG market with oil rumored to go to $200 a barrel. IF IT WAS REAL G W Bush would silence it.

do a google search for hho scam or browns gas scam.
Point being that hydrogen is a good fuel. But the electricity that you would consume in a vehicle to convert water to oxygen and hydrogen would take more energy than you would get back from burning the hydrogen...there is just not enough electrical energy available in your typical 12 volt system to supply sufficient hydrogen to power an internal combustion engine.

I watched thier movie, the best part was how they create a plasma bottle out of a piece of cast iron dont know the #'s for plasma temp's but I do think its way the hell up there. Like surface of the sun kinda numbers. I'm sure they ain't gonna contain that in a can under someones car or truck. But boy I want one of them puppies anyhow!!

Funny stuff... If you go to the bottom of the link page, you'll find out who's behind this- UCSA Dealers Group. United Consumer Services of America, a rather interesting scam organization from Dennis Lee. He's been pushing all kinds of perpetual motion/ healing devices/ religious BS for quite a while.
As P.T. Barnum once said, "There's a sucker born every minute. And two to take him." I think someone should meet up with Mr. Lee, and perforate him.

I never endorsed it, nor am I going for any bait. Just passing it on.

some one needs too see if they will send them one for free and they will do a review for a few forums and give back raw feed back for the site.

if it dose work they would have nothing to lose and would send you one for free.

If this worked people would be running down the street proclaiming it especially in Cali where it's well over $4/gal.

I bet its some MLM crap where you "buy in" to the company and then start selling this snake oil to other suckers. Pyramid scheme.

Kind of like those gas pills they had. Diddnt they get sued for false claims?

yeh that would be a great idea, and if its real the technology would get a significant popularity boost, and they would be selling like hot cakes, they would be stupid not to do it
if its cheap enough I might buy one and try it out.........only if it cheap enough, but i dought it.
