Anyone try this on a pinz? So many sites advertising this such as water4fuel.com, that say it lets you save 40% on gas and makes it run cooler and smoother. Scam or not?

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxyhydrogen
See also: water-fuelled car Oxyhydrogen is often mentioned in conjunction with devices that claim to increase automotive engine efficiency or to operate a car using water as a fuel.

Many of these claims violate the Laws of thermodynamics. See Conservation of energy and Electrolysis of water:Efficiency. To date, none of these claims have been proven, and many have been shown to be fraudulent.
Back in the 70's when we had Jimmy Carter's manufactured gas shortage, there were plenty of reports (even in the news) about injecting water into the engine. Funny, but it never caught on.....

Be careful, because when gas is expensive or scarce, P.T. Barnum's adage rules.

Wait a minute! I've been putting expensive gasoline in my tank when I could've been using water? :shock: What was I thinking :x

By the way, a simple calculation shows that to get 1 HP (yes only 1) from this HHO mixture your battery has to supply 100 amps. Hmm, practical? I don't think so.

Its a scam.
