I REALLY wish these brain dead idiots would stop posting their scams.

Thing is, it's only going to get worse as gas prices rise.

On the plus side, I have most of the spam filtered out.

On the negative side, when people like you reply to spam, I get to see it,
anyway.

I found a foolproof way to increase gas mileage.

On all uphill grades, turn the car off, put it in neutral, get out and push.

It has the added benefit of allowing one to lose weight.

Hi!

I would also suggest the "downhill method", though you should get into the
car quickly for it will soon be moving fast.

This speeds up your reaction time after the first few tries... ;-)

The best really best way to improve gas mileage is turn off the car and park
it, none of these gimmicks really work.  All they do well is empty your bank
account.

Well, I'm glad to help keep you informed!

I wish the HHO enthusiasts would explain to me why this is not just
another perpetual motion idea.

Water doesn't burn.  You have to put energy from the battery into it
to separate the H from the O.  When you burn the H you get back less
energy than you put in, because all you are doing is to put the H and
the O back together again, and there are losses. And then you have to
recharge the battery! If you use the motor power of the car to drive
the alternator to recharge the battery, you have perpetual motion.

So you would be better off to use that battery power to run an
electric motor to push the car. And buy some gasoline for the extra
energy you need to charge the battery.

Or just run the engine on gasoline.

Well, you know the old adage that a little knowledge is dangerous...

Please realize this is speculation on my part as to how this came about.
I have no physical evidence to back this up.  I just see this as a possible
evolution as to how this idea grew it's own legs and won't die.

Energy in = energy out, right?  Well, it turns out that with "Browns Gas"
(HHO)
there is a set of conditions where the energy out is greater than the
electrical
energy in.  Now before people start going nuts, this is over a VERY small
range of conditions, and energy in still equals energy out, it's just that
the
'system' to make Browns Gas gets some of it's energy in from the ambient
temperature.  This is only a SMALL percent, and it only happens during a
VERY SMALL window of conditions.

But you can imagine the idiots out there who read the original papers on
the subject back 80 or 90 years ago and have been trying to exploit this
ever since.  To be fair, there probably were a lot of serious scientist
trying to expand the window of conditions to see if they could ever make
something close to practical, and those people are to be respected.  What
if someone DID manage to get control over the window of conditions, and
could make HHO and suck heat of the air at an efficiency that made it
practical?  But I'm sure you can imagine what happened when the average
person heard of this kind of thing.  Free power and run your car on water
were right around the corner!  Yeah, right!

But then, stranger things have happened.  For years, the natural atomic
decay of U235 was looked at by MANY respected scientist, and considered
impossible to speed up and extract usable energy...

But somehow I doubt that these idiots with nothing more than wire loops
and mayonnaise jars have captured some serious secret and are going to
turn mankind on it's ear...

OK

HHO is just water H2O

There is nothing new about what happens if you get water into the
engine.
In very small quantities it does not need to be dangerous.
Water that turns instantly into vapor expands enormously.
If there comes too much at the same time it can easily brake your
engine.
Everyone who knows a little bit about physics knows how this works.
If you want to see how powerful this can be then you can put a little
bit of water in a kettle and close the kettle completely.
Put the kettle on top of a burning grill or fire.
Be sure to stay well away and keep this experiment well away from
anything and anyone.
You will see an explosion and that is what can easily happen to your
engine if you put water into it.
So sure you can see enormous power when the water expands and sure if
the amount is not very much your engine may survive.
It is like you always get a little bit of water into your tank during
rain.
Often the water remains at the bottom of your tank.
You can get rid of the water from the tank by removing it or mix in
solutions that help mix the water with the petrol and lets it pass
through the engine in small amounts.
That is basically what people are selling like something new and
powerful.

No.  Water is H2O.  Browns gas is actually 2H202, or two MOLECULES
of hydrogen gas (2 atoms each) mixed with 1 MOLECULE of oxygen,
which again is 2 atoms.  Total of 6 atoms.  When ignited, it produces 2
MOLECULES of water (which is 3 atoms each).  Browns gas doesn't
'burn' in the sense that it consumes oxygen.  It is hydrogen gas that has
the
prefect mixture of oxygen gasa already mixed to produce water.

This is NOT the case of liquid water in an engine.  It already is steam
from it's own ignition.  (And there is no danger of hydrolocking here.)
The scammers are basing this totally on the ignition, and the subsequent
release of energy, of the Browns gas.

You're 'experiment' is, shall we say, quite dangerous.  If someone were
to fill a can 'just enough' with water to burst as it turns to steam, it
could
send pieces of metal literally hundreds of feet.  If you want to burst
something with water, use the property that water doesn't compress.
Fill your container FULL, so that when it burst, there's nothing to
expand except a very small amount of steam and then it just leaks
out, not explosively decompress.

If you want to talk about the release of energy from vaporization, there's
some interesting articles about '6-cycle' engines.  Basically, engines that
rotate THREE times for each ignition cycle.  What they do is instead of
exhausting the hot burned gas on cycle 4, they recompress it.  Then at
peak an injector similar to a diesel injector puts in a small amount of
water.
That water hitting the already hot then recompressed burned gas instantly
turns to steam and drives the piston back down for cycle 5.  Cycle 5 is
a second power stroke but it's not from the gas ignition, it's from the
water expansion to steam.

This extracts a lot of the energy from the heat that would both be blowing
out the tailpipe or at least radiating from the headers as well as from the
cylinder area itself.  More energy extracted and the engine runs a LOT
cooler.

I don't know that they have the bugs worked out yet (and I'm sure there
are a LOT of them) but it shows promise.  Maybe not for high performance
engines, but possibly for low powered 'commuter' engines or fix load
applications.

Thanks.  Very helpful!
