Anybody hear the saying "if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is"? A couple of points here: First of all, modern fuel injected computer controlled engines DO NOT waste 15% of their fuel down the tailpipe. Nope, doesn't happen. No engine uses 100% of it's fuel, but 15% lost? No. Your OBDII modern engine would absolutely set a check engine light if 15% of gasoline used was sent down the tailpipe.
Second, so this "gizmo" sends hydrogen to the engine? Just where does this "hydrogen" come from? Not from the air certainly and if the "gizmo" creates hydrogen, that process, which can be done from water, uses a huge amount of energy. Just where does the energy required to split water come from? Besides, hydrogen, which can be used as fuel for modified internal combustion engines, combines (combusts) with oxygen (burns) to produce the same type of explosive gases that gasoline does when it explodes in the engines combustion chamber. It does nothing to any unburned gasoline. Nothing.
If, on the highly unlikely chance that this "gizmo" does anything at all, it would only be because it is some type of source of fuel that replaces some of the gasoline normally used by an internal combustion engine.
Otto cycle engines, like gasoline and diesel cars and trucks found on the road today, are not very thermally efficient as much of the energy released by combustion is wasted as heat and just some of it goes to moving pistons and producing propulsive force. that is the area where internal combustion engines are inefficient, not in wasted fuel going down the tailpipe.
Thirdly, why does this "gizmo" cost $1400? I'll tell you why, it's because the producers of it want/need the money and the more they can get away with (hence the extremely high price!) the sooner, the nicer of a beachfront villa they can afford in Cancun!
If the "gizmo" is some type of injection device (and water and water methanol injection units are well known and used by hod rodders and racers), it can not possibly hold enough fuel (hydrogen or "whatever") to possibly produce/release enough energy to account for the reported decrease in gasoline consumption. Could not possibly. Period, end of story.
Could the "gizmo" produce some type of mileage increase? Lets see the double blind studies run by a neutral lab that document that and explain just how it happens.
Bottom line, it takes energy to move objects in this world of ours. Energy comes from somewhere, not out of thin air or from magical devices supported by pseudoscientific babble from the makers of those devices. Reduced energy use in OTR (on the road) vehicles can certainly come from increased thermal effieiency, from reduced weight of motor vehicles, from good and proper maintenance, from new technology (hybrid gas electric cars) and from modern computer controls on those vehicles engines. It does not come from from a little bottle, or even a big bottle, of some mystery product strapped onto a cars engine.
Phew, Rant over! Flames welcome!
