Let me know if your intrested...please read about this...and watch the video

http://www.mimousa.com/home.asp?dir=products&prod=2394

Its funny...I am a biology major and we have been talking about this in class, and I seen it the other night on the discovery channel. Now I here that I can start selling the kits...Im really excited, this could save fossil fuels and the enviroment at the same time.

30% Percent increase in MPG!
5% increase in HP...not sure how

That would put our tibs in the 40s!

800 dollars and you will have it!...seems high but 3 dollars ++ a gallon and it starts adding up. Fisrt on your block to have a car that runs on water thats for sure.

I wouldn't buy it ... for a lot less you can build one yourself, I would rather do that than pay 1000$ for a 40$ DIY thing!

BTW it does work, there are some big companies out there that sell those things to transport companies (apparently those things works even better with diesel!)

would it work with a boosted car.. i wonder.. that shit burns cleaner and hotter then gas and has i guess higer octane so that would accout for the 5% HP boost and you could run mad boost because it is so high "I think", i am going to hit the books on this

also hydrogen is very boom boom, more then gasoline isn't???

yep but they were trying to run it ONLY on the hydrogen fuel generator, and they didn't modified the timing so it could run hydrogen, it burn LOTS faster so you need to delay the ignition.

The thing here is a little hydrogen with the fuel, as I said some companies are already selling those things to be installed on bigrig, but they are slightly modified (timing part I talked), so it's not just a "plug and drive" thing.

As for boosted cars, I doubt it.

I dont see why you couldnt use this with boosted cars...Im sure you couldnt with highly modified race cars but since the turbo is mainly about forcing air and getting enough fuel for the air to mix correctly...you would just need to get the mix right.

And for one thing...we sell kits for stock turbo cars...

How would a DIY go for making one of these? Would price really be down below $100 if you did?
Really like the idea, not so hot on the price... Any place cheaper than that to get something similar?

Some guys at work & myself looked well into these things and they are a waste of time.
They only produce a small quantity of Hydrogen at a constant rate, so at low revs you get some of the benefits they talk about, but as your revs increase the petrol into the engine increases but not the hydrogen so it will do nothing for your engine. For the system to work it needs to store the hydrogen under pressure (which is very dangerous) and then regulate the supply to the engine so the ratio of petrol to hydro is maintained.
I can give you plans to build a hydrogen generator for about $100 but you'd be wasting your time/money.
