[QUOTE="dan filipi, post: 3131, member: 54"] I got interested in hydrogen when the gas price got over $4 and got hooked up with a container and plates. Our aim was to get a small generator running solely off hydrogen. It took quite alot of power to bubble, like 15 amps. I read the best flow is at 20 amps so I cant see this working on a 4 cylinder 'Wing with the stock stator. Possibly with an external alternator but the increased load on the engine to produce that 20 amps might make the increased mpg potential a wash. I sound kind of negative about it but I'm not. This is just my take on it so far. There's a guy just a few blocks from me has lettering down both the sides of his truck HYDROGEN. He says he gets about 10% increase. He had just pulled up and parked. He popped the hood for me so I could look at it and I found he didnt even have it turned on. I pretty much lost interest after this and reading online reports of only around 10% increase, that's just 2 mpg increase if your getting 20 now. Hardly seems worth the maintenance of the system involved. On the other hand, a 10% increase from 40 would be 44 so that may be worth the effort. There are those that claim a much higher increase so it has potential I suppose. I think it's those claims that keep people buying the kits. I think to get REALLY good gains the timing and fuel mixtures have to be tweaked. Dont let what I've written here change your mind to build a system because I'll buy one from you! [/QUOTE]
