Re: HHO Gas Cars

That's got to be about the longest post I've ever seen, gonrod - it's quite good though! With respect to the HHO nonsense, the closest I've ever heard of was shown on the BBC website I'd guess about 6 weeks ago. Essentially, a gentleman had created a port-a-loo sized water->hydrogen device, that would give about 30 miles worth of hydrogen a day. A pity then that he didn't have a hydrogen fuel-celled car in which to put it - I believe it was a design that he hopes to market as these cars become common.

As a point of interest, an internal combustion engine can be made to run on hydrogen rather than petrol as demonstrated on the American television series 'Mythbusters', where they blew hydrogen gas directly into the carburettor. It ran for several seconds before the excess hydrogen in the engine bay ignited.
