How about this setup.

The Hydro-Gen
www.savefuel.ca


The Turbonator

You think I can put myself up to about 70 miles a gallon?

Wow. I hope nobody falls for that.

It takes the same amount of energy to produce hydrogen as the hydrogen creates. This is like taking your pay check and depositing it in your bank. That is assuming the production efficiency is 100%, which it is not. It is more like getting charged a 70% fee for depositing your check. Then getting charged 50% to make a withdraw.

In math terms:

$1000 deposite - $700 deposite fee = $300 in account.

Withdraw $300 form account - $150 withdrawl fee = $150 in pocket.

No...don't do it.

There is a reason that a real turbo setup costs thousands of dollars.

Man I was really hoping to have a 70mpg car. HAHAHA I saw that website at work and had to share it. That was the stupidest thing I have ever seen. And like Cobalt Supercharged said I really hope no one falls for this apparent scam.

The link isn't actually to a turbonator.... It's to a hydrogen generator system. I am sure it makes hydrogen but I dunno who it's gonna improve gas milage.

I forgot to mention this in my previous post. I am not making up random percentages there. Those are the highest efficiency rates of gasoline and hydrogen. Now that I think of it, the hydrogen is actually less efficient than 50% when burned in an internal combustion engine. So expect to have less cash in the pocket for my example.
