Mark here got the guide and he says he thinks it will work but the problem is locating the required parts to make it work. The guide doesn't help you out in that department.

It does come with a 56 day guarantee, I think to find all the required parts and build it takes 62 days though...

If I were driving a crappy car, then I would do it. I plan to make a career out of alternative fuels.

I was reading up on this the other day... was just going to ask

It does require DI water (which questions how much that costs) and if it's the same as the one I read about you need to manually switch it off if you are in a stop and go or idle situation for long as it generates too much HHO.

It does seem like it could be a good way to go though, especially if they could figure out a way to regulate the HHO automatically so you don't hae to switch it.

Also the books tell you how to build and use the device (amiongst other thigns) but it seems recommended you by a hydrolizer made from someone who makes them professionally as they aren't particularly easy to make.

I believe Mythbusters did this. What they did on the show was put a tube of water connected to an electrode that was connected to the battery. it was supposed to create hydrogen to run the car more efficiently. It did create the hydrogen but only a few little bubbles. Nothing that made any difference what so ever. They "BUSTED" this "myth."

It would take much longer to pay off the investment than they advertise, but I would get a tank and a compressor for extra HHO if I did this.
A temporary fix would be a blow-off valve to relieve some of the gas. Oh I can see the ricers rejoicing now! The woosh sound, WITH FLAMES!
