PMSL it's a shame it's not able to run on farts, as we'd have an endless supply in this house. Damn those baked beans :lol:

i've seen some stuff on that, only bit that makes me suspisious is those trying to sell the devises talk it up, yet i saw an episode of mythbusters where they try all these type of things and none worked, saying this i wouldn't mind giving it a go for myself
best solution on mythbusters was get a deisel car and run it on used cooking oil all they did was filter it :D

I'm pretty sure this lives in the realm of Dihydrogenmonoxide and related urban myths.

fair enough

have heard a couple of instances, on the use of browns gas :)

basically, costs $15-20$ to make a unit - which connects straight to your inlet manifold & holds distilled water & bi carb soda
a charge passes through coil/unit, which creates hydrogen gas
30-70% saving - yet to see results on dyno

& someone who knows of a V8 sedan which runs LPG & browns gas
with a proven 25% increase in milage

hopefully someone out there has a browns gas setup/or knows someone with one
& can shed some light on the myth :wink:

besides the mythbusters there was a guy on ACA or one of them with a set up on a falcon, with the cameras present him and a mate filled up 2 cars same model one was lowered with mags and stuff but, then did a 100km drive and refilled the one fitted with brown gas took 5.something litres :shock: :? a little hard to beleive, the other 20.something litres :shock: which to me seemed the other end excessive
note he was trying to sell these

Based on what I was getting from previous cars (between 8 to 9 litres per 100klm for VY commodore, driven reasonably hard but mostly long distance :D ) the 5 would be a very good result, but how the hell do you only get 20 :? :? . I would have thought you would be flogging the hell out of a big V8 car to get that. :roll: :roll:

maybe i should start flogging our VT i drive it easy using cruize all the time set at 100 - 105kmh (everywhere we drive is open road) in generall we get around 10L per 100km at best on our trip to QLD we got between 9 and 10
i'de like to give this a go but by the time you buy the plans and the parts it's gunna be $100, i think i'de rather just spend the $100 on petrol :D :( :? :roll:
