Default Water for Gas

Hey folks,

This is my first post here, so bear with me.

My uncle Garry recently found out about the water for gas method using a quart jar and some tubes and plexiglass. Has anyone else heard of this?

Locally, theres been some doubts as to whether it works, and i'll admit i had those doubts as well, but just last week, we successfully installed the unit in my uncles 1991 Subaru Justy, and i was blown away.

Not literally. The improvements made to the car were amazing. The exhaust went from smelling like exhaust, to smelling faintly like... sugar. To me it smells... sweet. not sure how that works, but it does. also, the car itself runs faster, smoother, and doesnt take near as much gas.

Has anyone else seen this done?

Apparantly theres also a $2000.00 IRS Tax rebate availible too.

For more information, send me or Garry an email

Me - joshbowenowt@gmail.com
Garry - tripower2007@gmail.com

Thanks

Josh

Any tips on converting water in wine?

Base metal into Gold?

Sorry to be a cynic but I see two adverts on google for this that look as though they were written by dyslexic two years olds

Water is 2 atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen, which you can easily separate through electrolysis. So, converting water to gas isn't anything very spectacular...

Can you see it working in an application as described with the benefits as advertised though? I can't. As only two adverts appear on google, both of which are written by the same people, I can only assume that its the latest gimmick for the gullible.

Default but it works....

Maybe the process isnt all that complex, and im sure most of you have seen it done, or did it yourself in high school or something, but i witnessed the actual unit in my uncles car, and the improvements were definitly noticeable.

Anyone seen it used to improve vehicles?

Josh

You use the word "gas". In an international forum you should be careful to explain whether you are talking about petrol - road fuel for cars - or gas, as for cooking.

I suspect you are trying to propagate an ancient scam dating back at least as far as the 1930s. This usually has the form of telling people there is a magic method of improving performance by adding water in some unspecified way to a car's fuel supply. Of course, it is nonsense.

It is a method of producing hydrogen from water by electrolysis. There is actually a power loss occuring.

The main benefits would come from the extra oxygen instead helping to produce a bigger bang for less molecules. That means an old dirty untuned engine would run better. But you still use more fuel. You need a lot of hydrogen to produce much of a difference and then a 12 volt battery won't do. The claims they usually give break the conservation of energy law so all claims are really a load of crap.
