Jon Starbuck’s blog debunking and exposing all things pseudo-green.
“University Challenged”, a BBC documentary on Oil Drum Limited, their “Fuel Saver” and the University Of Kent at Canterbury’s involvement in endorsing this nonsense pseudo-scientific product / technology which blatantly cannot work.
I am having trouble embedding the video into this page.
However, for now you can:

Enjoy!!
There has been a lot of movement on the Oil Drum Story in recent months; they are, at last, starting to come out.
On the TV:
The BBC have a half-hour documentary which went out on Sunday 23rd May 2010. If you are in the UK you can watch it on the iPlayer here. Or you can download it from this site here.
The Guardian Eco Store (as in The Guardian newspaper in the UK) are selling scams. I have told them, of course, but they don’t respond or remove the items from their store… so I’m talking about it here (like that will help…)
Items in their store which are an obvious scams include Ecozone’s Eco Balls, and Dryer Balls and Magno Balls.
I also note you sell the full range of Zielonka stainless steel “small killers”, these types of magic have actually been shown to be nonsense, so why do The Guardian sell them?
One can “e-view” (review) products on the Guardian Store but my comments never make it past moderation… The Guardian clearly sensor bad reviews…
Gordon Loughton of 24 Freshfield Bank, Forest Row in London has a business (and another here)selling a miracle fuel saving product which he says can dramatically reduce your engine’s fuel consumption and improve its emissions using… by up to 30% apparently.

The following companies all sell The Jubycell, it is yet another miracle HHO MPG-increasing, emissions-reducing scam which cannot possibly work.
John Hickman of 49 Elm Road, Brixham (Devon, UK) claims to be the “inventor” and has set up a company to sell it and courses on how to install it.
However this “technology” has in fact been about for decades, John has not invented anything here; it was a scam back then and it still is today, no one has any evidence that this “technology” works because they cannot have, because it cannot work, it is pseudo scientific gobbledygook.
This story is a tired ruse that I have seen hundreds of times before, it is so depressing, Con man sets up HHO business and calls himself the “inventor”, lures innocent folks in with the promise of riches beyond their dreams, extracts money from them in the form of kits and courses and shares in the company… sooner or later they realise they have been scammed or the technology does not work and they either start asking for their money back (which they never get) or they refuse to accept the overwhelming evidence and become “true believers” themselves, they stick in their heels and repeat the scam on more victims - the point at which mere foolishness becomes fraud is a grey area.
You can read an exhaustive article about HHO, Hydroxy, hydrogen-hybrids and why they are a scam elsewhere on my blog.

Evidence that HHO, hydrogen hybrids, are a scam from February 2009. The Federal Trade Commission sued Dutchman Enterprises / Dennis Lee to stop him trading.

There are a number of products on the market which claim to save you money on your electricity bill using power factor correction, here is one for sale by my old friends at HHOTec. Continue reading ‘Power factor correction scams’ »
Trevor Hunter from HHOTec has been posting a lot of comments this week to my blog-post on his nonsense Platinum Fuel Saver - his comments have become so so frequent, repetitive and long that I have stopped approving them as they are becoming spam.
However Trevor has the right to reply to what I say about him, but rather than allow him to fill my blog with thousands of words all designed to draw your attention away from my point (that the product does not work and that Trevor has no proof that it does work) I am instead moving his comments, breaking them down into points and responding to them. Continue reading ‘Trevor Hunter from HHOTec / HMFSales… again…’ »
Hydrofuel-Systems‘ make an HHO, run-your-car-on-water, hydrogen hybrid fuel saving device. As is consistent with all these types of scams no proof is offered that the product works and, as I have said a million times, this is because there can’t be any proof since it does not work, it is a scam. Continue reading ‘Proof (as if we needed it) that HHO does not work’ »
