No, you can’t run your car on water – it’s a scam

I’m sick and tired of seeing people ripped off by one of the biggest scams on the internet today. Despite what these snake-oil merchants claim, you simply can not improve your car’s fuel efficiency by using electrolysis to create hydrogen gas under your car’s hood. Water4gas.com and runyourcaronwater.com are just two of the websites perpetrating this fraud. Learn more about why these schemes can’t possibly work and just why so many people are claiming it does. Visit: aardvark.co.nz/hho.shtml for the full story. And if you think you can demonstrate that an HHO system is able to provide consistent fuel savings of 25% or more, don’t forget to enter the great One Million Dollar HHO Challenge. It’s time for the scammers to put-up or shut-up. If there are no entrants then it’s clear that even the scammers admit, you can’t run your car on water after-all.

Getting Better Gas Mileage Excuse 2 of 4: After A Tune-up, My Car Can’t Get Better Gas Mileage

GetTheBestFuelMileage.com Why do people believe that getting better gas mileage is not possible for them? I have told several people: “Did you know that there a lot of things you can do to improve the gas mileage in your vehicle? And these are not rocket science things either. They are down-to-earth, honest-to-goodness, tips, tricks, and tweaks that almost anyone can do to make their car, any car, run better.” But every time I offer this claim, people instantly protest and raise a number of questions. Such as: My car will never get any better mileage than it does now after a good tune-up. Its dependable now and I dont want to mess it up. In other words, dont fix what isn’t broke. The best tweaks, tips, and tricks that either myself or a good mechanic will always suggest to people will never make your engine run worse. I mean, think about it. Getting better mileage depends on making your engine run better. And most of the tweaks, if they stop working, just make your engine go back to running like it does now. Of course some people, in their gusto to make modifications, are sloppy, and shouldnt be attempting it without knowledgeable supervision anyway. So if you can get past the mental blocks that prevent many people from accepting that they CAN get better gas mileage, then you CAN get better gas mileage and save yourself a ton of money. To get more than 40 simple tips that almost anyone can do at home to improve your average car’s fuel efficiency by 20%, 30%, 40%, or even …

why can’t we burn hydrogen in a car?

people say that hydrogen isn’t really an efficient alternative fuel. I’m only seventeen but I have figured out how to produce a car that requires no gas and is more efficient than honda’s hydrogen car. They say that the bumble bee shouldn’t be able to fly but the bee doesn’t know that so it flies. They also say hydrogen isn’t efficient but I didn’t know that so I tried my theory and it works but I can’t seem to get a hold of a honda representative so if you can help please help.

Why can’t they invent a car that runs off water, meaning the explosive power of hydrogen and oxygen?

If you mix hydrogen gas and oxygen gas together without the heat, isn’t it explosive? So if you had a car that could convert water back into these gases and then cause an explosion and channel the explosion into energy, why couldn’t you use the energy to run the car?

when will car manufacturers stop pretending that they can’t make all electric cars?

I think GMC have bougth out a silly overpriced hybrid, please, we all know that oil is rubbish and getting more expensive we also know that electric have been made by top car manufacturers as prototypes.I know its about money but please it is really time to move on isn’t it?

Since we own(Taxpayers&Government)80% of GM,why can’t we start making an Electric Car?

I asked a question earlier today about watching”Who Killed the Electric Car” on the Green Channel.Let me know what you think about the movie,if you watched it.We are polluting “MOTHER EARTH” quicker than we thought,and I live on the Northern California where gas is $3.40 a gallon-I think higher than any place but Alaska.We are being ripped off and it time to do something different,you think?

Why can’t a car not only use the motion of the wheels,but use the wind resistance also to generate power to a

Could turbines propelled by the wind resistance,and circulair motion of the wheels be used together to keep a charge on a batterie opperated car ?There has to be a way that’s simple to this magnitude that the world havent considered.Why haven’t the government put more incentives for car manufactures to design eco-friendly cars a decade ago.

Why can’t we switch to hydrogen???

Why is the government not forcing automobile makers and the oil industry to switch to hydrogen production. With all the melting polar caps we are going to have too much water anyway, lets burn the stuff. Plus wouldn’t be nice to have a home solar powered hydrogen producer in your garage. Combustion engines will run on hydrogen so I am sure that with a few minor modifications to the delivery system they would be fine!!! Last I checked we had plenty of H2O.
