    I’m a stock investor not a driver. There is a Canadian company that makes a hydrogen generation system that feeds the gas into engines to improve fuel efficiency and to reduce emissions. Too good to be true? I would really appreciate it if one of you would take a look at this system and comment.

    Hydrogen systems have been around for a while and yes thy do work, the problem is the expense and maintenance of the system out weighs the benefits. Just not cost effective.

    They make big claims on their website but no real details on equipment dimensions, weights etc.

    While I can't validate their claims on emission reductions or power output, I don't see it catching on. Main reason being the engine manufacturer will likely void any warranty claim made. If the engine blows up, they'll say the owner modified the engine and caused the failure. Too bad, here's a bill for $65k to replace your engine. Have a nice day. In all honesty, you'd probably get the same increase in fuel mileage and even better reliability if you hit a huge pothole. One big enough to knock some stuff loose from the engine.

    Buy real estate.

    H2 generators marginally work if at all.

    Been tried over and over with no real success. Marginally work but as mentioned above, cost don’t outweigh the benefit.

    You're a stock investor who's seeking advice on an internet forum you just joined today and from a group of total strangers whose expertise you're unfamiliar with?
    Is this the way you research every new product you're interested in?
