I don't know what you are talking about.

The laws of thermodynamics are not "common sense," but they certainly are taught in high school. There's no excuse for people with a high school education to fall for these "burn water in your car" scams.

fact is, we are running low on energy. Lower than most people actually realize. Oil wells drying out on a daily basis. Gas companies are expanding in other areas, and hydrogen cell cars is one market looked into. For me, this h2 scams miss the point of energy loss during mechanical conversion to electricity. H2 does have a market when it gets mass produced in a plant, but that will take significant energy - but there are ways that are considered greener than coal power power stations.

In no way is he an expert. If he was some kind of expert they sure didn't mention what type of expert he was. I have installed Hydroxy gas enhancement devices on dozens of vehicle's 90% of them have worked and the few that didn't get MPG gains. there were only three reasons why. 1. The device was not efficient enough. 2. The vehicle had pre-existing mechanical issues before the install. 3. The vehicles ECU would not allow any leaner of an AFR. PERIOD. All of which can be solved.

im thinking of getting in on this scam, i wanna be rich too!!!

these companies are getting away with these scams, getting rich off peoples ignorance and stupidity, and they ARE NOT getting in trouble for it.

if they stole the same amount of money out of your pocket, theyd end up in jail. But in return they give u a nice big placebo.

make these criminals PAY!

in these times where car manufacturers are spending billions on making their cars more efficent and green, its amazing that the manufacturers are so so stupid!!!

they could save billions with these magnets, fuel ionisers, fuel pills, HICLONE devices!!!!

pffff stupid car companies!!!

wait a minute........................­.....

I would agree that most of these things dont work, but at the same time. I would not be one bit surprised if these "findings" were paid for by oil companies not wanting gas saving devices on the market because that means big losses. From what I have heard, there is technology to make fuel systems that can get amazing miles per gallon. But its no surprise that these are not put into production today. technology to make car engines last up to a million miles!

But are not buisness friendly..

Well, a MILLION BUCKS is offered and, who woulda thunk it, NO TAKERS. Haha. Thieves and liars...the whole lot of them.

Yea... and if you put your fingers behind your ears, you pull out a sweet. Cocks.

Dear idiot liar,

If your magic device gets your vehicle a 40% increase in MPG, why haven't you made this amazing discovery known to the world? Why are you keeping it a secret?

[Desertphile]

Then write to him, you ignorant retard, and set up a time for your claim to be tested.
