Mythbusters Busted

Just because someone calls themselves a scientist doesn't make it so.

The Discovery Channel show "Mythbusters" likes to debunk science with some pretty shaky experimentation.

Take, for example, their claim that hydrogen is useless as a sustainable fuel source. [Episode 53]

Don't tell that to the Department of Energy and their work on Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles. [Source: Department of Energy]

To say nothing of the University of Hertfordshire's Sustainable Energy Technology Centre (SETC) that is developing engines that run assisted by electrolytic hydrogen (and recently produced the first Formula Student hydrogen-powered racing car) sponsored by ITM Power, a leading innovator in the emerging hydrogen economy.[Source: Univerity of Hertfordshire; ITM Power]

Retrofit Your Gas Engine

Using a simple retrofit with some readily available parts the fuel efficiency of any engine can be improved with the addition of Oxyhydrogen gas (HHO) long used in torches and lamps.

Added to the fuel intake it allows for a leaner mixture and thus improves mileage and reduces emissions.

Oxyhydrogen gas is made from the electrolysis of water and so with a simple Retro-Kit any car, truck or generator can be boosted to run at peak performance.

Hindenberg Cars and Houses

A couple of wires dipped in water and hooked up to a battery can boil away the oxygen and hydrogen. Storage and use of the gases has been in development for years.

And they have it in cars and houses now. The efficiency of engines and storage of energy in hydrogen cells in now here!

The Hopewell Project has created such a house and General Motors is among the manufacturers that have created the cars. Even though as of March 2008 GM and Toyota both expressed the impracticality of mass producing hydrogen calls for the average consumer in the light of current costs and advancing battery technology, but agree it is inevitably the fuel source of the future.

And for every conglomerate that gets on board a particular technology there are countless garage inventors working on their own.
