    About gasoline savings

    Has anyone built themselves a water for gas setup?  I made a simple but working one and it does produce the flamable gas, but I haven't done one on a scale sized for my truck yet.  Just wondering if anyone has had success and if so, can you give a few pointers on where to get the stainless, what is working best for you and what MAP sensor should be used with this system and where to get it.  I am wanting to make one and hook it up ASAP and start tracking my mileage to see what happens.  Of course I would post the results here for all to follow.  I plan on using some kind of clear plastic that the top can be easily removed to replace water with a plate configuration.  Or use screen for the stainless.  I'd prefer the screen since it has more surface area.  Just ideas right now.

    I wouldn't know where to begin with something like this, but I am anxious to find out what you find out about it so I can get my husband to do it.  We need to do something to get better gas mileage!!!

    I would not have a clue as how to do this

    Furthermore, unless you are an expert, any attempt to save money on gas by doing this can result in very bad things if something goes awry (gas explosion, for example).

    I'll leave it up to the expert

    I'm not an expert yet but like I said, I did build an experimental small one to see if the claims of the gas produced are combustible.  It is.  I just would like to know which type of a MAP sensor to install in conjunction with this little contraption.  But this is probably the wrong place to ask that question.  Anyway a little info on the system I'll try to make this short but in plain english. 

    What happens is an electrical current from the cars battery charges a metal plate immersed in a solution of water and a little baking soda or lye.  Another metal plate in the solution but not touching each other provides the other side for the charge to pass to and then on to ground to complete that portion of the component.  When the charge passes through the solution of water(electrolyte) the reaction that takes place produces what is known as Brown's gas, a type of hydrogen gas that is released from the H2O (solution of water).  Hydrogen gas in its pure form is what the Hindenberg blimp was filled with.  This form of gas is quite flammable but in the amount produced in this device won't be a hazard like the Hindenberg.  Also when the car is turned off the device turns off and quits making the gas.  When the gas is being made it is released from the reaction module or container holding all the parts I described above, through a tube and into the cars air intake.  This is why another MAP sensor is needed.  A MAP sensor regulates the right amount of Brown's gas into the air intake of the car so it runs the way it is supposed to.  What I've read about this stuff is the way it supposedly going to make the engine run cooler and more efficiently, it will clean up the rotten egg smell that some cars have that is caused by bad fuel combustion and catalytic reaction in the exhaust, it gives much improved gas mileage from the energy contained in normal water in the form of  hydrogen gas mixed into the cars intake manifold with the gas from the gas tank.  Thus you get a cooler running car, cleaner running car, smoother idling car from it running cooler and cleaner which is supposed to continue improving the more the car is ran.  I just need to find the time to build the real deal and install that sucker so I can start driving with out worrying if I have enough gas in the gas tank to get there.  People are saying they're dramatically improving mileage.    Any body read this far have one of these water to gas devices they make or use?

     Try the Popular Science or Popular Mechanics web sites.  Periodcally, readers post such info, and there have been articles in the past about this type of technology.  It does exist, as GM.  Retro fit for any GM vehicle is about $250k, so take it from there.

    As long as you don't care about any sort of warranty that may still be on your vehicle, it might be neat to try.  However, what is the ROI?  How long before your fuel savings pay for your investment?

    What happens when the price of oil drops?  At what price point does your investment become a non-recoverable expense?
