A small amount of hydrogen & oxygen (brown's gas) will improve the combustion process and will provide more power. Then you'll use that additional power plus extra to make more Brown's gas.
Propane injection also works but its false economics. You burn less gas & more propane. All of these solutions were tried in the 70's & they finally disappeared when the public figured out that they were BS. The real issue is that whenever there is money to be made, there are more than just a few crooks out there waiting to take your hard earned dollars. That said, there is a way to use water to improve mileage, but not by much. We experimented with water injection in the late 70s. The idea was to spray a small stream of water through the carb when it was running. The water would mix with the air & would convert to steam in the engine, providing a little extra "push". The idea worked - I documented a 1 MPG improvement in my 1974 Olds Cutlass Supreme. Problem was, 1 MPG was not worth the trouble of maintaining the system.

I've been looking at that and thinking about it for a while. I can't see it either. On the other hand I can see that it might be possible that a small amount of Brown's gas (hydrogen and the oxygen that it was split from) burned in conjunction with gasoline or diesel may possibly improve the combustion process enough to actually give more power and thus more mileage from each gallon of fuel. I have seen the power increase from propane injection on a diesel truck so I can't say that this won't work. Probably will try it sometime once I get some time to play just to see. After all I have a good test bed. Manfred Date: Sat, 17 May 2008 15:55:02 -0500 From: "Tom Hargrave" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> They are burning hydrogen in the engine. They are using power from the battery to split water into hydrogen & oxygen. But where does the power come from that's stored in the battery? >From the alternator, right? And the alternator is powered by (drum roll please), the engine? So, it goes like this...... They are using power from the engine to generate electricity, which is used to generate hydrogen, which is then fed back into the engine to generate more power. The issue with this system is that in an absolute perfect, no loss system, the results would be a net zero! In other words, no gain! In the real world, you loose energy with every step in the process Thanks, Tom Hargrave www.kegkits.com 256-656-1924 _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com No virus found in this incoming message.
