   A friend asked me if I knew anthying about the hydroxy booster. Apparently you can get better milage out of you car if you add hydrogen to the air intake. The energy required to create hydrogen is apparently less than the energy gained by a more efficient combustion process. There are claims that this was already known in the 1930's.

   But if it would work, then I think one of the ATA members would have modified his/her car and we would have read an article about it in renew like with all the other alternatives, like driving on straight veggie oil or making your own electric car.

   Does anyone know if it really works?

   Cheers,
   Rob

   It's a scam. Plain and simple.
   Automotive combustion is very efficient. All of the fuel is burnt. The problem is the cycle efficiency - see Otto Cyle, Rankin Cycle etc and Thermodynamics.

   Water is burnt Hydrogen. To unburn it takes more power than you get burnign it. Unless that power cheap, you have a problem. There is no "spare" power in yoru car to unburn the water.

   Check out the Fuel Cell Cars they certainly work however all are in the concept stage
   Just about all car manufacturers have produced Fuel cell hydrogen cars

   See http://www.hydrogencarsnow.com

   You can even do it yourself however be aware, get it wrong and you will blow the bonnet skin clean off the veh.

   Apart from being a very impressive and spectular demonstration (as a spectator) The power is there !!

   There is a local club devoted to HOH

   http://www.climtechsolutions.com/

   The test for whether HOH works is very simple... if you get an increase in mileage then it worked.

   If you don't then it didn't.

   Most websites on HOH aren't very informative but this one is pretty good:

   http://www.hydrogen-boost.com/

   The problem people experience when fitting HOH (which isn't too hard) is with the oxygen sensor.
   The oxygen sensor adds more fuel to the engine when it detects more oxygen (added by the HOH).
   Bypassing it is difficult.

   Catch 22.

   Fran is good at bypassing the oxygen sensor so he gets much better results than the average installer.

   He has also tested a lot of other fuel saving techniques with an unusual amount of diligence.
