Seeking advice from engineers

[Tkosinski2]

So I had a question for you guys. I just recently found out about this HHO product that's suppose to give you 20-40% better fuel economy while helping emissions. I'm a little skeptical about it as most things don't work and are just scams. So I wanted to seek professional opinions to make an educated decision.

If you don't know what I'm talkin about there is a website that explains what it is and such at greengah2o.com. I'm not advertising for them, they just have info on what they're claiming and how it works

Yeah, right. If it existed everyone would be using it!!

I know at first glance this looks like another wacko over unity scheme, but there is just a hint that it might actually improve flame propagation. However tests done by respected members cannot substantiate any gains.

hydrogen injection into engines as a flame initiator is a real avenue of serious research, in particular this guy

http://www.mech.unimelb.edu.au/thermo/watson_topil.html

so there is at least some possibility that it might help.

But, adding small amounts of hydrogen and oxygen to the intake mixture is not the same thing at all as watson's system.

So what does it COST to inject hydrogen into an engine?? Why not just run it on pure hydrogen??
