Better mileage with water - DIY

You can get 50% to 70% better gas mileage from a very simple hydrogen and oxygen generator.

There are many people claiming that this is a scam, offering proof by stating that it violate the laws of thermodynamics, etc. What they are not taking into account is that the gasoline and diesel engines in use today are very inefficient. Looking at this US government webpage, you can see that only 12% of the fuel energy makes it to the wheels. In fact, the engine itself loses 60%, mostly as radiated heat.

So the key is to increase the efficiency. The generator does this by forcing a slower, more efficient burn. This allows the heat to expand the air/fuel mixture at a slower rate, keeping temperatures lower and transferring more energy to the drive train. The water formed when the oxygen and hydrogen recombine also lowers the combustion heat.

This is a very simple concept and you can build a generator with simple parts from your auto parts store. I made one with less than $60 worth of parts.

Its connected to your ignition for power using an inline fuse. The output hose is routed to one of your vacuum lines or your air intake and the device electrolyzes the water automatically whenever your ignition is turned on.

You can get complete plans from these two sites: The first one, Water4Fuel uses a very simple device and can be built in a day. The other system, RunYourCarWithWater is a pretty complex device but it runs much more efficiently and can be tuned to your vehicle for the ultimate savings. I would recommend the first one, then after you see the potential, you can order the more complex system plans.
