I work in a garage office and a customer came in with a printout from Waterboost
(selling at £450)..Now two friends of mine have developed a similar thing,
all in good faith. The problem is they are both clever guys & know
engines but have little formal scientific education. Continue reading ‘Advice for an eco-scams reader.’ »

Hanlon’s razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

I’m really sorry to report that Automotive Ecology in the Netherlands are still selling Oil Drum’s Fuel Saver several years after the product was show to not work by the UK Government’s vehicle testing station at Millbroke. Indeed it and all other HHO fuel saving gizmos cannot work. Continue reading ‘Automotive Ecology, still selling snake oil.’ »

Hydro Go is just another “run your car on water” clone. It is a variation of a silly idea which has been kicking about since the 1970s. If it worked then it would have been installed into every car on the road decades ago.

But it was in the Metro?
Yes, idiots at Metro did run an advert for them. There was also a nonsense article in the Newark Advertiser (though it does appear to have been pulled from  the Newark Advertiser’s website, luckily I have a copy). And this article in Living Local which, in all fairness, tries to be sceptical.

According to an undated “news” article from 2010 on Ringway’s own website they are trialing a “revolutionary Hydrogen Fuel Injector” which they think has “the potential to reduce fuel costs across the entire group’s fleet by up to 20% as well as a significant reduction on carbon emissions”.

Sound familiar? Yep, it is just another run-your-car-on-water-scam clone.

[Update - The ASA has upheld a complaint by CNG Services which basically says that H2GoGo do not have the robust scientific evidence from Millbroke that they claim to have and therefore they are lying on their website when they claim to achieve a 40% reduction in emissions and when they claim "h2gogo has submitted its hydrogen generators to the full scrutiny of the world- renowned and respected Millbrook Vehicle Emissions Laboratory, with resounding success". BULLSHIT!! Good work ASA!!]

The latest HHO, run-your-car-on-water, style product to be drawn to my attention is H2gogo.com – It is interesting because the makers do not quite make the same goofy claims that makers of other products of its type; instead of claiming it will save fuel and increase performance they claim it will decrease your vehicle’s nasty exhaust emissions and may possibly save fuel and may possibly increase performance.

For years now I have ranted about how HHO is nonsense, that it cannot possibly save you any fuel, how anyone selling the “technology” is either deluded or a con man (or both).

It turns out that I am a little bit wrong about this, there is a tiny bit of truth to it after all! (However you should still not touch it with a barge pole!)

Stolen from The Guardian, here are a few real ways to save fuel when driving that actually will work. Note not one of them is a magic HHO gyzmo, I wonder why that is?

——————

Hypermilers say there are many others ways for motorists to save money – and reduce emissions – simply by reappraising the way you drive.

GreenCell Technologies http://greencelltek.com/ are a Canadian HHO, run-your-car-on-water, hydrogen-on-demand scam.

This is a very old “technology”, it has been kicking about for decades, there is no known plausible method by which it could work and no one has ever shown it to work. What is more, every time this ”technology”  has been subjected to proper scientific tests it has been shown to reduce engine efficiency and increase fuel consumption.

The Turbo Fuel Cell is a scam, it cannot possibly work, is a carbon copy of the HHO run-your-car-on-water-scam which has been kicking about for decades, it is scientific  nonsense and cannot possibly work, the tests that they claim to have performed are either lies or performed by some very incompetent people.

The UN’s Energy Globe Award for 2010 in the catorgy for “Air” went to the Epoch Energy Technology Corp. for developing a “dual fuel system for buses and trucks” – this dual fuel system is a carbon copy of the HHO run-your-car-on-water-scam which has been kicking about for decades, it is scientific  nonsense and cannot possibly work.
