Ive done a fair amount of research on fringe fuel economy enhancements. And while a few have long proven benefits, others that are emerging that show promise there are a few, like the hydrogen thing that I am just not convinced of nor do anything to lead me to believe that they are more than just gimmicks.
No offense archemedes, but I dont buy the whole if it worked then so and so company would be using it. There are long proven techniques that have yet to make their way into everyday automobiles.
Not long after Hurricane Katrina hit and gas prices went ballistic and stayed there, I was watching a special on CNN in which they did a story on a company in Florida I believe it was that was producing production ready equipment that was taking ordinary water and ionizing it or doing something with it that separated the hydrogen and oxygen and the motor was running off one of them. Probably the hydrogen. I wish I could find the link now.
However I remember thinking then since the kit is here, works and seemed easily adaptable why isnt everyone using it? Is such a invention the solution? Probably not because we would move the liquid gold from being gas to water and with the areas in severe droughts, I doubt it would be a long term solution. However, it is a start and yet its been a while since that was on the air and yet no manufacturer has picked it up.
So while there are viable solutions out there, or at least ones that would move us more away from dependence on gas or oil, they still have not made it to mainstream.
One quick example I know of would be the Coates Engines. An EXTREMELY good idea and well established and proven yet we are here, same ole stuff, no manufacturers using it.
