I found this on another site, sounds wierd to me.




Because i live in the Blue Mountains every fool employment agency doesnt want anyone to travel anymore than one hour to a work place so I started Hawkesbury Hydrogen Way back when diesel and petrol got up to nearly $2 a litre and my fuel bill went from about $70 / $80 to over $200 and i was having trouble affording just getting to work{ don't work there anymore}. When driving up the local hills the black smoke{unburnt diesel} out the exhaust was so bad the car behind me hand to turn his head lights on. I thought I was going to be defected by the police. This was a car I just got from the sales yard second hand with 110,000 km on the clock. that is just run in for a diesel. FYI : I am an electronics tech. by trade. I started asking around about cat. converters and why they are needed and why diesel cars don't have them. Finding out that diesel burns at 67% and unleaded burns at 83% and ethanol only burns at 35%. The cat. converter burns the unburn't fuel before it goes out into the air.. I asked the local NRMA mechanic and thats what he told me. When my father was alive he took me to a NRMA class about engines so over all those years I learn't alot. Anyway I asked the local NRMA guy if by adding this explosive gasses would it harm the engine and he said no. I have a 1998 diesel Toyota Hilux But if you used AC you take 4 to 5 amps and get more gas. So I started designing a circuit to make AC and using some transistors to switch the 12 volts on and off to pulse it through the water while using Ohms law to get current flowing and now I get up to 1.5 Litre of hydrogen and oxygen mixed and using the vacuum thats already present in the intake manifold to suck the gasses in, mixing with the fuel when its a vapor. By adding hydrogen and Oxygen {Hydroxy} all the fuel burns , you no longer need to press the accelerator down as far so you saving fuel. The engine will run smoother and 30 C cooler.

Cost will start at $475 ,adjust depending on engine size

Sounds like he has a new job = scamming :ninja:

yeah just send the $ and he will send you the sure fire way to cut your running costs in half..
in the mail you will receive a pair of scissors :crazy:

that doesn't make sense, changes the subject mid sentence and I have no idea whats going on. Sounds like a scam as it looks like written in a hurry with broken up misleading info.

QUT has been experimenting with a donated turbo cummins diesel mounted to a dynometer. For years (since i started) they have had this Biofuel engine research facility, but that involved mixing diesel and ethanol or fumigating the intake with ethanol as a 'dual fuel' and experimenting with different percentile mixtures. They have had good results with excellent improvments of emissions.

I could assume you could do the same with hydrogen, but there are a few issues. How could you produce it fast enough to keep up with a air pump (donk cruising at say 2000rpm being diesel) and secondly, hydrogen explodes pretty quick (pop!) as opposed to 'burning' like a fuel does.

You got his contact details? If he is fully legit he'd surely have published some works on it (case study etc).

You can run gas injection on a diesel engine, cat has had a option for years apparantly.


HappyDaze - September 25th, 2012 at 12:37 PM

Wonder if that's as good as Peter Brock's 'Energy Polariser'?

Don't get ripped off. I can sell you the same thing for only $99. First 10 callers get free set of steak knives.
AS SEEN ON TV*****Current affair I think it was!

If the steak knives are worth over $99, i'd be keen :lol:

I think he forgot to mention that he is a Nigerian prince!


cam070 - September 25th, 2012 at 06:50 PM

I saw an ep of mythbusters that busted a myth that sounded like this just the other week. I call bollocks!

A friend of mine has been playing with hydrogen in his jackaroo for years with improvements in economy and performance. He built his own from stuff you can buy at the hardware store for under $100. He was slowly upping the amps to release more hydrgen into the intake to see how much the engine would improve without damage. I have not caught up with him for over a year so I will have to see how it was going for him and get back to this post.

I have seen this guys vehicle a few times and it has his business name on the tailgate. dont know if its legit or not. Just thought i would let people know he at least does have a business in the hawkesbury.

I think that hydrogen is a little bit harder than that to get from water.

Catalytic converters do not burn unburnt fuel.

depends on the terminology used but they do in some sense "burn" "unburned" fuel.

Catalytic converters provoke chemical reactions to oxidate carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, reduce nitrous oxides to nitrogen and oxygen and oxidate unburnt hydrocarbons to carbon dioxide and water (the common three-way catalytic reactor).

They only "burn unburnt fuel" in the same sense that cheese builds chimneys.

I bought a 'too good to miss' item on late night TV with the free set of steak knives.

Best knives ever (seriously).....as for that blender...

sound more like a PWM to me, and He should be using MOSFET of it's just goint to be on/off.
and use the thing to fill up a balloon and burn it with a flaming torch.

I don't think so.
