I'm considering an attachment that will give 30% better fuel mileage
on almost any vehicle. $500 installed. Refill with distilled water =

300-400 miles. $3.00/gallon is down to $2.00/gal.. It gets 40% out
of a diesel. I've seen it and it works. There are some real pros on=20
this system. =20
The hydrogen is burned at such a fast rate the valves don't
get oxidation damage. It isn't in mass production but I might get one =
for my
older 94 Chevy 1500 to see how it works. Simple install, fused, =
amperage
meter, hose to the carb/fuel injector and a small tank that seems
smaller than a bread box. Might be tight under the hood of some cars. =20
It is easily removed for inspections. They won't pass because the =

are so low it gives a false reading!!! Exhaust is cleaner too.
It can be removed and installed in another vehicle easily. Only one =

was a problem for the designer so far out of 10+. The computer in the =

to
hack the car computers to adapt for this inexpensive device. He's =

on that now.
Just a consideration.

Oh yeah, and that's why both Bushe brothers continually=20

And this guy has a long way to go before his idea is credible.
Blaming it on egos is a bad start....
Money to finance his research would not be hard to find if it
shows real promise.
He has not spoken of how much hydrogen his device puts out,
and remember, it is only 40% as powerful as gasoline per volume
so your car will lose a lot of its power. Remember also, this
weaker car now has to pull you and your family up the hill to
Las Vegas... Can it produce enough hydrogen on demand to pull
this off?
What is the cost per mile of gallium and aluminum refills?
How far does the tank take you without a refill?
So far, I am not impressed.

seems to me he's just passing the electricity buck.
The idea is to get power to your car's wheels. His plan is to use aluminum/gallium
to split water. And how does he get the aluminum/gallium back after it's
used? Electricity. (I seem to remember reading that one of the biggest users
of electricity in the country is the aluminum industry. Lots of power needed
to electrolize it out of ore.)
The same electricity that is used to split the alulminum oxide back to aluminum
could just as easily be used to split water directly into hydrogen and oxygen.
He's just moved the process from a most likely more efficient power plant
right into a 350 pound pile of rocks in your car. Two conversions instead
of one, undoubtedly more inefficient, to save the trouble of creating a hydrogen
infrastructure. Maybe good. Maybe not.
The other problem with hydrogen, namely it's tendency to leak right through
seals and hoses, would still remain.
Very interesting story. I wish I could get enthused about it...

I was getting all excited, but now i see that I'm naive to even hope
that a smart scientist can dream up a way to get hydrogen out of water
economically.
Hey, did you guys see the Tesla Motors car. It's frickin' awesome:

0-60 in 4 seconds. Instant torque. I want one.

At a base price of $92k ( fully loaded $101,425), they've got a ways to go
to sell many of them, even with all the incentives. Still I like where it's
headed and that sure is a sharp looking 'geek' ride. 248 Peak HP ain't bad,
and at over 200 ft/lbs of torque flatlines from 0 to 6000+ RPM, it would
leave a few black marks on the pavement I'm thinking.

James,
Actually the guy who is doing this is not a mechanic
he's my tech for the studio/road gear. He fixed my Genelec 1037s
when Genelec wouldn't, DBX 161 where parts were unavailable
and Telefunken V72 with intermittent problems.
He wants to market this so is keeping it close to the vest.
I've seen his '96 V8 Suburban running very smoothly. He gained
almost exactly 30% using this contraption (3rd stage of development).
He is engaging a few select mechanics to give it a good local run first.
He might put some details on a website in the near future. He has a
picture of all the components that I asked for a copy of but he wouldn't =
release it to me. It's remarkably simple except for the one natural =
ingredient
he adds to the distilled water to help produce the hydrogen. He claims =
that only
distilled water need be added and that the small amount of this other =
ingredient
is permanent and should never need to be added again. Silly simple.
I'm not much on the technology involved but the savings and pollution
reduction is worth it's weight in gold/gas. I would more than regain =
the $500=20
investment within the first twelve months given the fuel prices of =
$3/gal or=20
more.
I most concerned with the protection of the engine. He claims it's =
safe.
If for any reason it should fail it isn't needed anyway in an emergency =
on the road. =20
Flip the switch he installs on the dash and go on your way. He said it =
can be a=20
volatile situation but he has made it completely safe by using the =
ingredient (I'll get=20
the name again next time I speak with him) he has chosen.
This is right now "it works" technology. It's not expensive. Perfect.

And dig, it only cost 2 cents a mile to run. Most cars are around 8
cents, so you can save there.

Heh, that's right! :^)
Since most cars don't go 0-60 in 4 seconds, if I were in the market for
a this kind of car, I'd be comparing this to other similarly priced or
higher priced cars that run at a much, much higher cost per mile.
Although at that point, if you really care about the cost per mile
you're probably not in the market for a $100,000 ride.
They sold out of the first run, a great start for Tesla.
While vehicles in that class are just a conversation piece for most of
us. Tesla's long term plans include other, more practical/affordable
models as the economies of scale kick in. We shall see.
Here's another hotrod electric, a four-wheel-drive seven passenger
collaboration between Lotus and Zap. Claims 0-60 in about 5 seconds, and
this one might jump in at about half the cost of a Tesla Roadster:

8 cents a mile?. Where on earth did you come up with that Bill?. Include the
amount of bluebook devaluation *per mile*, gasoline, schedulled maintenance,
tire wear, cosmetic damage due to normal road grime and hazards like rock
damage to windshields, dent's to side panels in parking lots, etc. and it
really adds up to much more.
