The Jubycell - yet more HHO bullshit in the UK
The following companies all sell The Jubycell, it is yet another miracle HHO MPG-increasing, emissions-reducing scam which cannot possibly work.
Inventor
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.
Scam
You can read an exhaustive article about HHO, Hydroxy, hydrogen-hybrids and why they are a scam elsewhere on my blog.
The list of shame
(please note I strongly suspect most of these companies are not in on the scam but are victims of it)

Here are some “news” articles these folks have managed to drum up to promote their snake-oil selling businesses:
“Alex Cheetham and Richard Watts have founded Nil CO2 Technologies, having become qualified installers of hydrogen fuel cells developed by a Devon inventor” in SouthWestbusiness.co.uk here.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating! My consumption on a 3 litre petrol engine has been reduced 22% and my CO emissions reduced from 1.83% to 1.22% and HC from 183ppm to 173ppm on Crypton Gas Analysis carried out for MOT. With further engine refinements this spring I expect to reduce consumption to 33%. My next installation is on a 2.9 litre diesel and initial tests would indicate a 40% reduction in fuel consumption. Many thousands HHO installations have been installed and for diesel engines running on reclaimed cooking oil it has the added advantage of virtually eliminating the exhaust smell.

Hi Mike, The proof of this pudding is not in the eating, it is in the science lab. If you took your 3-litre petrol to a lab you would find no improvement at all. “Real world” testing is full of inaccuracies and sources of error, the biggest of which is the experimenter them self. You need a blind and independent test in a lab, not you and you mate in the MOT testing station. This “technology” does not, indeed cannot, work and you are either mistaken or a liar. Tell me, where is this extra energy coming from? If it did work then you would be the richest man alive and every physics text book would all need to be rewritten. Weather you realise it or not, this “technology” is bogus.

As soon as you see ridiculous figures such as the 22% reduction in fuel consumption you know it is bullshit. As if multi billion pound car companies looking for a marketing edge would “overlook” the technology if it worked.
Keep on exposing this Jon!
