It seems to good to be true?

Its basicly saying you can do this to your car then put water in instead of Fuel

Advice of whether I should buy this or not, I think it is legit but it seems to good to be true to put it one way, Advice?

Water Car
this one is a bad joke it couldnt work with that setup as the water would boil
and only produce mostly steam and work on the old idea of water vapour injection.

have a look on ebay they are selling stuff like that to convert your car or bike to run on water the person selling has positive feed back and people that have brought from him have all siad that it works and it is also ment to make your car or bike faster .
i don t think that it is a scam. Smile

This is real. They are not saying you use water instead of fuel, you use water, split into Hydrogen and Oxygen, as a fuel supplement. This is not new, the knowledge has been around for many years. This design is a simple, effective design that can be copied by almost anyone and for a very low cost. Try doing a search for "HHO" or "Browns Gas" and read the results.

it's real in as much as you can buy kits, but
Oxyhydrogen ( brown's gas) is often mentioned in conjunction with devices that claim to increase automotive engine efficiency.

Many of these claims, prima facie, violate the Law of conservation of energy. See Conservation of energy and Electrolysis of water:Efficiency. To date, none of these claims have been proven, and most have been fraudulent.


which is why we are not all running about with a wee browns gas generator under the bonnet

yep, i wonder what the energy density of H2 is against propane,
ie what kind of a range you would get.
theres already a network of garages doing propane for cars up and down the country it wouldnt be hard to follow it up with H2.

i briefly had a duel fuel car you started it on petrol and after 30 sec could switch it over to propane. looked a great system unfortunately i didnt get the chance to try it out for long.

i dont see why engines need to start on petrol,as ive also converted a small engine to butane and it starts straight away on gas,ive heard that running on propane mix, the power drops around 15% which is a small sacrifice for 47p a litre

dunno, it had a professionally done gas conversion, and the story was you had to start it on petrol, after 30 secs you could flip the switch to change over to gas. I didnt get the chance to drive it much as i bought it from a guy at work , i needed an mot immediately and the mot station managed to drop it off the ramp from 5 ft which, not surprisingly wrote it off.
gas as standard in these things went in a toroidal tank where the spare had been.

ooh from todays bbc slightly off topic

Solar dyes give a guiding light
By Matt McGrath
BBC science correspondent



Current solar plants need large mobile mirrors to produce energy
A new way capturing the energy from the Sun could increase the power generated by solar panels tenfold, a team of American scientists has shown.

The new technique involves coating glass with a specific mixture of transparent dyes which redirect light to photovoltaic cells in the frame.

The technology, outlined in the journal Science, could be used to convert glass buildings into vast energy plants.

The technology could be in production within three years, the team said.

Does this prototype actually work? For every type of cars?

no it doesnt as that version produces chlorine which is corrosive and the amount of hydrogen produced is minimal.

LPG is very common in aus - more like Disel is here as an alternative. So called "dual - fuel" conversions are relativly cheap. I had one for years in my 4lt car, and there was a noticable (but livable) power drop. The fuel requirement may have been due to lubriaction - LPG has none, and the recomendations were to run the car periodically on petrol for a bit, to ensure the engine was ok. Stem-valve-seals were the most common failure in my model otherwise, resulting in oil passing into the chamber, and the car becomming more smokey over time.

The only thing was to balance out the cost of the instal against the fuel savings. The availability of LPG is much more widespread in Aus as well, compared to the UK.

I thought about converting my Renault Kangoo, last year, to LPG but it costs about £2000, and it might take some space in the boot which I need for my wheelchair. Still, if the prices keep rising at this rate I might seriously consider it.

you can get a LPG tank that fits in where the spare wheel goes,spare wheel is then mounted on boot (trunk) or hatchback door

browns gas is shite,the correct splitting of water into its different parts is another ball game.

I think I look into converting the car into LPG, and hopefully gas is not going to go up in price as petrol is at the moment.
