Carbon Clean Direct is another HHO scam
Carbon Clean Direct is another HHO, run-your-car-on-water, hydrogen hybrid (or whatever you/they want to call it today, it is all the same thing) scam which I have been blogging about for years. Their product does not work, indeed cannot work, it is preposterous pseudo-scientific nonsense.
They claim to be able to reduce you vehicle’s fuel consumption by 25%, but where does this 25% come from? An engine in good working order will burn in excess of 99% of its fuel leaving less than 1% unburned, so even if their unit made the engine 100% efficient the gain would be less then 1%, not the 25% these jokers claim. And the 40% reduction in emissions, where do they get that figure from? It is bullshit, it cannot possibly be true, so I can only guess they just made it up.
Nowhere on their website as any proof offered, no science, no scientist, no lab, no papers, no nothing. Why? Because it does not work! It is a scam!
There is no name, address or phone number on their web site - what a funny way to conduct business. Nevertheless I can tell you they are no less than Daniel Smith and Chris Clark - 07971313822, 018448871676, chris.clark@carboncleandirect.com and daniel.smith@carboncleandirect.com - allegedly at 130 Colmore Road, Birmingham (England) which is right on the edge of Victoria Square in Birmingham city centre… so I’m a bit dubious if it is a real address.

And yet these guys have just been the main sponsor at a major conference on Green Travel & Transport for public sector employees:

I hope no-one believed their claims. Daniel Smith’s presentation was laughable. It was entitled “Ice Cream and Chillies” and involved nothing more than a tedious ramble about his son, his chemistry kit and asking the question ‘what if?’. Not a single slide or any explanation of the supposed ‘technology’ involved.
I suppose he was thinking ‘What if I managed to convince a load of public sector people to fit this to their fleet vehicles - I could make a load of money!”

Search my site (that is this one!) for “Oil Drum Limited” to see pretty much just such a phenomenon, and a load more.
