Do Hybrid Hydrogen Conversion kits work?

Question

Hey everyone, has anyone tried these kits... there is a big discussion going on here http://www.aboutmyplanet.com/environment/diy-convert-your-car-to-use-hydrogen-today/ seems like some people are trying these things out... has anyone else here tried one?

I'm hoping this would work considering how high the gas is getting :(

Answer 1

It's a scam.  See the article linked below on how water powered cars will never work.

Answer 2

I have just gotten in some new DVD's from a friend in Reno.

He says it works  on his Volvo.

He is selling the kits.

I will let you know my take on the DVD's and get some costs from him.

I'm going to do it.

Answer 3

I am 77 and heard this scam all my life....

Answer 4

SCAM  Save your money

As the saying goes - If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Every time the price of gas spikes, you see more and more of these devices advertised.

There were lots of them in the middle 70s during the oil embargo and gas prices spiked.  They didn't work then, they don't work now.

The current batch of devices claim to work by using electrolysis to separate hydrogen gas from water then feed it into your intake manifold.  The rip-off is that an automotive electrical system does not produce enough electricity for the system to manufacture enough hydrogen to make any difference.

Stop and think about it.  If there were a device that really worked, the automobile manufacturers would be all over it.  If General Motors, for example, could put a device in their vehicles that would give them a fuel efficiency advantage over their competition, they would buy up the patents and have them in every vehicle they make.

They would not be sold on some obscure website by some person selling them out of their garage.
