Hydrogen Generators

[Barry]

Have a company that wants me to field test a Hydrogen Generator on my truck.



Anyone had any experience with one of these??



It all sounds good... ... ... ... but what about my $10,000 engine???

 

[champspa]

you don't have too

 

[Barry]

Well no, I don't have to... ... ... ... . true.



But if it will do what they claim then the benefits out weigh the risks.



So again, my question is: Has anyone tried one? Know of an aunt, uncle, cousin, friend of friend that knows anything about them?

they do not work. the loss in mpg was not hardly detectable on the dyno. if you go with cng instead you can increase burn efficiency

a chemical variant of the perpetual motion machine. . . salesmanship, many delivered, lots of money changed hands, none worked unless the owner fooled himself.

How much money are they wanting from you to field test their product? If its zero then go for it. I built one and tried it on my truck, didn't think it worked.

 

[Barry]

Well, one system is $1K and the other is too new to price. I am not field testing anything where I have to pay.



For the moment, I need to be reassured that it will not harm or damage my engine.

it will not hurt the engine, as long as it is built in sutch a way that no liquid reaches the turbocharger. we build water and sewer plants and some of the disenfection equipment uses a form of the generator. two of our customers brought expensive generators to us for testing. we tried to show them mathmatically it would not work but they allready had bought them. the loss in mpg with the generator equaled the extra fuel required for the alternator load.
