    as far as they are concerned, its not a scam since they got the information freely on the net, through materials from some companies, forums etc etc and putting the relevant or working bits together in creating their own water4gas systems. and from their experiences, i gather that its not unlike the LPG setups for diesel engines, the water4gas producing enough HHO to replace SOME of the gasoline needed to fuel the combustion. and since the HHO is produced and not purchased, that is where the savings come from. with the LPG'ed diesel, the cheaper LPG contributes to the savings.

    producing the HHO also doesn't put more load on the alternator, since the electrolyzer consumes the same energy as an ordinary headlight.

    again, this is what i gather from reading their forums, no first hand info YET... let me just find enough time to build me an electrolyzer and upload a video of me exploding an HHO-filled balloon


    and please let us keep this thread informative... arguments are welcome provided they have serious points of rebuttal, like ghosthunter's and others. honestly seeing someone's lenghty posts here always filled with hydrogen sulfide gives me a headache.:peace:
    Let's consider this for a moment. If this technology is true and not a myth don't you think a car maker would have used it in their cars by now? With the price of oil now approaching $200 wouldn't it be a smart business move for an automaker to use this technology on their cars? It would guarantee that you could sell any model car you have as people around the world would flock to your cars just to save on the expense of fuel cost. Heck, GM, Ford, and Chrysler would jump on this since they are having a hard time selling their vehicles and this would almost be the light they are looking for to get out of the sales slump. Oh wait, but they have a conspiracy with the oil companies right? Sure raising the price of fuel will make them sell more cars that consume lots of gas. Uhmm, no. That's not what is happening most of the automakers are selling less vehicles because of the price of fuel. Higher fuel cost means less expendable income for most consumers because higher fuel cost also equates to higher food, electricity, and consumer goods cost. All this means is that the consumer will have less money to buy that brand new car they want because they have other things more important than a new car they can for that money.

    Edit: There's an old saying "If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is".
