KENTUCKY VASECTOMY (I lived there 40 years so I know all the jokes. I think):

Wife sez, “Jeb, ten kids is nuff. You go get one of them vazzletomees.”

Jeb sees doctor #1 who sez to light an M-80, put it in a can and count to twenty. That sounds crazy so Jeb goes to see doctor #2 who sez the same thing, adding “There ain’t no need to pay for sich a simple thing.”

So old Jeb lights the firecracker and puts it in the can and starts to count to twenty. Five on the first hand, five on the other hand, but now he needs his toes, so he has to put the can between his legs to keep counting. And there you have a Kentucky vasectomy. Works everytime.
[This joke makes people laugh so hard they cry if you tell it well, pretending to hold the can, count and then place the can in your crotch.]

Kentucky: global leader in things that are bad for you.

You don’t need to study every specific application in order to know it won’t get you furthur down the road if you understand that it takes energy from the alternator, which is generated from the engine, which derives ITS energy from the gasoline, to break the energy bonds of the water, to retrieve the H2, to put back in the engine. At every step, we lose energy in the form of heat, so there is NO WAY to get more out of the system than we had there to begin with(in the form of the energy content of the gasoline). In a perfect system (one in which there are NO energy conversion losses) we could theoretically get AS much out as we put in, but there would still be no gain.

It (H2) MIGHT improve octane level, but higher octane is not more energy/gal. It just improves the smooth burn, ie, less knocking under load.

Having said all that, if you generate your H2 from a solar cell, store it in a tank and THEN add it to your engine, then yes, you could go furthur, but that’s introducing extra energy from the sun, stored in the H2.

Anyone who claims to be able to get more out of a closed system than they put in it in the first place is scamming you,,,that would be perpetual motion and I think most people understand that really IS impossible,,,

TANSTAAFL: It’’s a law of nature and even though it sucks, that’s what we have to work with.

I lived in Louavul 1979-1985. Very Strange Planet in a lot of ways, but it had an excellent classical music station, and the orchestra there was terrific. For many years it was one of the biggest names in commissioning and recording new music (and even had its own label for quite a few years). While we were there, they moved to a great new home at the Kentucky Center for the Arts. Fabulous concert hall, theater, and several smaller performance halls.

Do you have any studies saying that the hydrogen injection thing doesn’t work as advertised? In other words, how do you “know” it doesn’t do anything?

NOTE: I’m not claiming anything about the hydrogen thing, just asking for proof.
