RE: Hydrogen Boost For Gas Mileage
 
Well mythbusters needs to try again because Ive seen it with my very own eyes right in front of me. I saw that episode and it was a long time ago. There have been many improvments to these kinds of devices now days!

(I hardly ever watch TV so....) when mythbusters did it....did they try and run it parallel with gasoline or run it strictly on hydrogen. Did the regualte it?

Mythbusters had a freakin two liter bottle full of hydrogen and were trying to run it strictly off of hydrogen and almost caught the freakin car on fire.... They were not using the type of devices that have been comprised since the episode aired which I watched over a year and a half ago. Technology has changed since and new ideas have been thought up. I know this thing is possible and can be made to work. Like I said Ive seen it work right in front of my eyes and its proven on my dads truck. He went from 355 miles on a 30 gallon tank to almost 515 miles on the same tank of fuel!

Well yeah that wouldn't work.

My idea was to use a 1 gallon container (of water) and I plan advance my timing to accept the hydrogen without killing the MPG. If I didn't have the mechanical skills and Predator I wouldn't even try this.

Yeah, and you just have to be careful how much hydrogen you actually put into the engine too because too much will almost make the engine run in reverse. It burns so much hotter and more explosive than gasoline so this is easily done and that will make your mileage go way down.
