“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.
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.

State of Texas Vs “Ozzy Freedom” Water4Gas
http://www.nlcpr.com/TexasVswater4gas.pdf
The Texas complaint against water4gas claims that 3,197 Texans purchased the water4gas manual for a total of $310,109.
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.

“Convert Now” are the latest example of a piss-poor website full of preposterous claims and outrageous lies. They clam to be able to save you thousands of pounds using an invention which, conterray to what the site claims, has be proven again and again to be a scam.
Their Downloadable E-Book 38 Top Tips to Save Fuel is fecking hysterical. Mostly good advice, if you are retarded, on how to save fuel…
“Convert Now” appear to actually be - Oprint Ltd, Unit 54, Leyland trading Estate, Northants, Wellingborough, NN8 1RS - http://www.oprint.co.uk/
More anonymous emails have brought my attention to more HHO scams in the UK. HHO Fuel Southwest is a scam, as is hho4u / hydrotechnixuk.co.uk.
Both sites make the same preposterous claims of reduced fuel consumption and cleaner emissions as every other pedaller of this nonsense. There is no prof that any of their claims are true for the simple reason that it is not true, it is a scam.
What is new to me is both sites claim something which I have not seen before, they claim you will be entitled to lower road-tax because you will be able to re-register your vehicle as a “hybrid”. Continue reading ‘More British HHO scams - HHO Fuel Soutwest and HHO4U’ »
The oxygen, or lambda, sensor.
An oxygen sensor, or lambda sensor, is an electronic device that measures the proportion of oxygen (O2) in a gas or liquid.
Automotive oxygen sensors, also known as O2 sensors, measure the oxygen content of the engine’s exhaust gasses. They are what makes modern electronic fuel injection and emission control possible by determining if the engine’s air-fuel ratio, its mixture, is too rich or too lean.

Yet another anonymous emailer has drawn my attention to http://www.mileagebooster.co.uk/ and asked me for my opinion on it… really, you need to ask?
Easy, Milagebooster is a scam. See my old page on why HHO is a scam here. Continue reading ‘Mileagebooster.co.uk - HHO scam in the UK.’ »
