if it works, i'll buy it.... 100MPG... yea, i'll take that...
would be interesting to see if this product has been tested by anyone else.. and reviewed.

Well now, if I ever wanna turn my car into a fireball on wheels, I know where to go.
Take a look at the newsletter section. In the jan 2002 newsletter they talk about Shell oil buying the trademark name "Mobile One" and that it is not synthetic oil any more. Whenever a site has many obviously wrong statements and uses pseudo science it always raises many red flags to me.
The end result of burning hydrogen is water or water vapor. Sounds to me like blow by gases could be a problem with water entering the oiling system, may be a problem with motors and lubricants not originally designed to run on hydrogen.
Liquid hydrogen still requires more energy to create than the resulting hydrogen itself represents, yes? No?
Hey now! Don't be bringing science and logic into this!
I'm sorry, Day-Tones..
I hate when I do that, as I know so LITTLE of the science, and the logic simply escapes me in any case..

Much of nature is a zero sum game. Yes you can break down water to hydrogen and use it as a fuel. However the energy from using the hydrogen only equals the energy to produce it. Moreover, this is not like playing poker with the neighbors where the wins equal the loses, but like at a casino with a substantial house take. Neither breaking down the water, or burning the hydrogen is 100% efficient. In the end, you lose.
I wouldn't worry about the water vapor produced. You are already running your car at 10%-15% hydrogen. For every pound of normal or any of the isooctanes you burn, it produces 1.42 pounds of water. This is part of the reason we change oil and exhaust systems regularly.

I am assuming they think mixing H2 into fuel help the fuel to burn better and produce more energy instead of counting on the energy produced by burning H2 itself?
