Found the Key to HYDROGEN

You have to use copper for your negative to see any improvements in fuel mileage. I'm useing 10ft of #4 or #6 copper with 6 stainless plates in the middle spaced evenly on a 3in bolt.

Look at the pictures in my gallery. And just add copper as the negative. I don't know what it is about the copper but it works.
I have to turn of my Edge for the Hydrogen to work effectivly. I don't know if it's timeing or what. If you have changed the timeing on your truck you may not see the benifits of Hydrogen.

Just saw an episode of Mythbusters tonight where they bought the plans for a hydrogen fuel cell off the internet and tried to run a gas powered car off it. It did not produce enough hydrogen to do anything. Possibly if it was used in conjunction with regular fuel they may have had some success. They did take a tank of hydrogen and started the car but it didn't run very long before it back fired and they had to shut down to keep from starting a big fire.

Would love to see them use it as a supplement as you are doing.

Look at this web site www.hydrogen-boost.com/hydrogeninjection.html As a supplement I'm seeing about 20% better fuel mileage in my truck and several gas cars and trucks.

Running a car off hydrogen is nothing new. A gas engine will run off any combustable gas for the most part. The biggest problem with making a hydrogen maker for your car is the amount of current needed to run the
electrolysis to produce the hydrogen levels it takes to fuel the car.

A guy I know built a medium sized hydrogen producer with a old stick welder power supply, I was amazed at the amount of hydrogen it produced(also at the power meter spinning like cazy). At the time the old use he had for it was filling 55gal trash bags and tieing those little chem lights to them and lettting them fly away at night (was pretty cool)

I think it would have been neat to see a break down of the exhaust on a gas chromatograph when the car was running off hydrogen.

My objective is not to run on hydrogen. If I can get a 20% increase or more hopefully that's good. With the pice of fuel I'm saveing about 45 cents a gallon right now.
