The Hydro-4000 creators say their device sends hydrogen into your engine, creating a cleaner burning environment.
They claim their product allows you to burn all of the gas that you're putting into your tank, instead of wasting it through your exhaust pipe.
A news station tested it out and claims it's truck went from 9 MPH to 23 MPH.

So is this a legitimate thing? Its quite intriguing. |

Wow ...60% increase in mileage will definitely counteract the $1200 cost of it especially if you drive a lot. I don't know personally if it works or not ... I would have to use it to know ...but 1200 testing money ...ammmm no :p
BTW ...less than 10 miles to the gallon prior ..wtf!! :p |

| I'd like to see more consumer testing. I remember when I read a review on those cyclone/vortex creating intakes, and it pretty much saw no increase, if not a decrease on 3 different cars. |

I'll ask the "magic eight ball" if it works or not, also I have a great
stock tip for you:2: |

according to my math, it's 156% increase.
(23-9)/9=1.56 |

The potential for the addition of Browns Gas (HHO) to benefit is there. The only problem as I see it is that the amount necessary would be hard to generate in real time.
Look at it like this. When fuel enters the combustion chamber it does so as suspended droplets. Not as a true vapour. From the point of ignition a flame front travels throughout the mixture. It is unlikely most of the droplets are ignited. The addition of pure hydrogen and oxygen into the chamber allows for a much quicker propagation of the flame front and therefore (theoreticaly) a greater amount of gas will be combusted.
A quick estimation would suggest that it might have some benefit for a small engine operating at a constant speed but little to none as you move away from that. |

Oh my goodness, imagine the increase if the Hydro-4000 was used in conjuction with the turbonator!!!! :20: :20: We'd be putting gas back in the pumps!!!! |
