Does HHO Suppliment rig up improve mpg by 30%? Anyone doing this?

Question

Does this work? Anyone tried using this?

http://keelynet.com/indexaug805.htm -Dennis Klein's process of converting h20 to hho, producing a gas that combines the atomic power of hydrogen with the chemical stability of water. He thought of burning his hho gas. "on a 100 mile trip, we use about four ounces of water." Klein says his prototype 1994 Ford Escort can travel exclusively on water, though he currently has it rigged to run as a water and gasoline hybrid. Members of Congress recently invited Denny Klein to Washington to demonstrate his technology. His water-powered engines have passed all performance safety inspections. with some hunting I found the patent as issued March 15, 2005, at 6,866,756 Inventors: Klein; Dennis - 66 Pelican Pl., FL

prototype vehicle receives a net increase in horsepower & average increase of 20-30% in mpg

http://www.lowcostsolution.net/videos.ht... red ford escort had $49 adaptor put in an now gets 60 mpg. IS this True?

Answer 1

Ethanol is ethanol - if it's purified it doesn't matter (as far as the engine is concerned) where it comes from (and if it's not it'll cause the engine to seize).

Answer 2

This is a total SCAM SCAM SCAM

the whole idea is wrong, you can't get power that way, all you can do is waste power.

Take everything they say as a lie.

Answer 3

They tried things like this on Mythbusters once and none of them worked.

Answer 4

I couldn't see where you link gave the info you were talking about, but my gut feeling is no.

Water is carbon and hydrogen already burned, so in my opinion it's like saying someone heated their house with ash.

The internal cumbustion chemistry is bonding of Hydrocarbons with Oxygen to produce heat and increase the volume of gas pushing the piston down.  This is not very efficent as most of the energy is escaping as unused heat.

Bonding hydrogen with water makes very little sence to me.  Water is a byproduct of combustion as the Hydrogen and Carbo from HC (gasoline) is split and bonded with Oxgen to form the major byproducts H2O and CO2.  If you run H2O into the cumbustion chamber you quench the process, and cool the cumbustion.  This will help keep NOx the bonding of oxygen and Nitrogen down as this only occurs at hight temps in excess of 1800 - 2000 degrees.  But is sounds like snake oil to me.

In my expirience, many people have put forth poducts that claim to raise fuel economy and horsepower at the same time, and the laws of physics dont support this.  In order to create more horse power in a particular engine, more air and fuel must me cumbusted.  Or the design of the engine must be modified to harness the energy more efficently.  There is no free lunch in life or physics.

I have seen these clams come from devices like magnets on fuel rails that claim to ionize fuel particals, to water tanks with devices that utilize the hydrogen by spliting off these atoms from the oxygen to create gas fuel.  However the power requires to split these compounds is more than the energy recouped in cumbustion.  Remenber water is already combusted is is a energy waist and requires more than it's potential or at least the same to break the bond.
