 Hydrogen Power!! Has anyone tried this system to try and improve your fuel economy?? You see them on eBay all the time and Ive got one on my pick up and I went from 23 mpg to 36 mpg.. Ive seen them build them for big trucks claiming they get up to 11 mpg.. On eBay type in hydrogen generator.. If your somewhat mechanically inclined..(and it doesnt have to be too inclined, its not hard to build) .. I ordered my map sencer, and used an O2 extender.. But I like it on my pick up.. I was just wondering if anyone has used it on their big truck..

| scam. To make hrdrogen like this it takes more power (electricity) then it produces so you pay for it in robing power to turn the alternator plus wear and tear on the charging system. Another problem is that the anode rods wear out really fast. |

| basic rules of the universe... it ain't cheap ever to borrow... hydrogen only makes sense if you have free electricity or free aluminum and I don't know anybody giving either away for free..

| I use a variable resister to control the amperage into the generator...I keep the amperage regulated so this wear and tear is kept to a minimum for it does pull from the altenator...No dought!! So regulate the current by all means..But, if I could squeeze an extra 4 miles a gollon on diesel...it could be an extra 9000.00 every 1/4 in profit..Ill buy an altenator every 3 months for that...But MedMan is right on the fact your amperage has to be regulated to avoid prematteur repairs and get the most out of the generators...Too much of a good thing in some cases is a bad thing..Except in, well thats another story! And guys you know what Im talking about!!

| I put a homemade hydrogen generator on my Suburban just to see if it made a difference, and my mileage went from 15mpg average to 20 mpg. I'm sold! It took me less then 2 hours to make it from scrap I gathered from around the house. Needless to say, I was surprised it worked at all. My next one will be much more refined, and I plan to install one on everything that has tires, including my riding lawn mower. |

| the subject ha been hashed out before. Do a search for it if you want more in depth details. The biggest problem when these systems are brought up is that it's usually someone spaming, trying to sell there own systems. so watch what you say in the forum |

| Im not making nothing out of this! Im just saying check it out...It works for me and others.. Maybe some need to do more research than others, but by all means do the research in order to get the best out it that you possibly can...I threw one together just to see if it worked at all. It did and I built the real deal after that to the specs I wanted to achieve.. And I did hash out all the negatives I think. But if I havent and I could get 5 to 7 more mpg by changing something, I can assure you Ill do it..

| I didn't mean to imply you were I was just saying to try and not sound like you are pushing a product or it will get you banned. I know there is a member here from rice lake WI and there is a product on e bay being sold from rice lake but I don't remember who it is. At best you won't see those kind of gains. I've always heard 15% area. you'r not going to double your mileage. I've built them before just tinkering around. Not for a car though I was just playing. So lets see the one you built. how are you controling flow into the fuel stream? |

| making hydrogen is like running an engine to make electricity to power your electric car. you'll always use more energy than what you produce. period. now if you had some dilythium crystals I'd probably believe the claims... I mean capt kirk made them work just fine. other than that, you are on earth and earth rules apply... what about aluminum??? the alternate ricki ticki... is adding KOH h20 and aluminum to release hydrogen gas. only problem is the cans are worth more than the hydrogen you get out of them. math... ya gotta love it.
