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

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

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
cheers ray

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

a little hard to beleive, the other 20.something litres

which to me seemed the other end excessive
note he was trying to sell these
