I also suffer from big truck low mileage syndrome. HHO won't work. It requires more power to make the gas than the gas will produce. It would be nice but the fact is that Ford and GM compete so hard on mileage that if it were that easy, it would be standard. It's easy enough to make the gas though. Skip the injection part at first and see how much gas you can make.Okay, this is HIGHLY controversial, but in the diesel forums (specifically big trucks), adding HHO via a hydrogen generator (electrically energized metal plates breaking down water into Brown's gas [hydrogen and oxygen]) and adding to the intake air "allegedly" can give drastic mpg improvements. I've been reading up on it off and on for a year or so since it's so cheap ($50) to make your own with stuff from the hardware store, that I might whip one up to test on my F250 ('96 7.3L Powerstroke). Diesel's have the advantage that they don't have MAFs, MAPs or O2 sensors to adjust the fuel flow via the ECU. There's some mods that need to be done to a gasoline engine to keep the computer from adding more fuel due to the increased oxygen in the exhaust (they say), but there's plenty of open source sites that for the EFIE (electronic fuel injection enhancer) to trick the computer into thinking everything's cool. They claim anywhere from 30% to over 100% increase in mpg.
Waiting for Snick to chime in and tell me I've got a "mental disorder" (RE: Orange Balls) thinking this could be real.
There are solar panels now as thick as 35mm film (if you can remember that) The adhesive to hold it on would be about as heavy.I didn't read the entire article but I did notice the second paragraph. A statement that the driver had used solar panels to recharge his car. I can't help but wonder what kind of weight that added to the car.Z
I built a hydrogen generator and put it on my '85 diesel rabbit, hooked it up to a relay off the headlight/parklight switch so as not to generate explosive gas without the engine running. I built it for less than $30.00 and went from 35 mpg to 45 mpg with just one unit. I was going to install a second unit when Chrysler came out with the Lifetime powertrain warranty and I went down and bought my PT loser and unloaded the rabbit.Okay, this is HIGHLY controversial, but in the diesel forums (specifically big trucks), adding HHO via a hydrogen generator (electrically energized metal plates breaking down water into Brown's gas [hydrogen and oxygen]) and adding to the intake air "allegedly" can give drastic mpg improvements.
