Anyone seen this?

I dont remember if this has been posted on here before:

Ron Smock's Lincoln LS by Hydrogen Assist Development - YouTube

Any LS will get the same mileage. A steady 80ish on "real" gas in Wyoming netted me over 28mpg; with the a/c on. I've been getting 21+ in mixed driving (probably 75% freeway) with the a/c off.

IMHO, snake oil.

A knew a guy at my school who insisted that he did it to his v6 camaro or firebird and it helped. I don't believe it though. I'm sorry but if I wanted better gas mileage I'd look for a car designed for exceptional fuel economy.

*Edit - After reading joegr's post I felt inclined to mention that he was a business/marketing major.

I knew what i was getting into when i bought mine in terms of mpg. Just saw this while looking at exhaust videos.

Pretty nice looking ls too. Wheels are kinda cool.

I didnt know, nor did I care I got a nice 12-14 in my rig. This is a huge improvement. The LS was clean looking though.

H2 = -482 kJ/mol

2,2,4-Trimethylpentane = −5460 kJ/mol

It's not even close.

Dammit. You can't argue with Spiderman.

Hydrogen has less than one tenth the energy of gas. Anyone that thinks hydrogen (or ethanol at −235 kJ/mol) has better mileage is full of crap. Scientifically speaking, of course.

Beside that, the hydrogen is made (split from water) with electrical power from the alternator. The alternator makes electrical power from mechanical power from the engine. If anything at all, this device ever so slightly reduces gas mileage.

Note that each additional electrical load, no matter how small, adds an additional mechanical load to the engine. You can't get something for nothing.

So I should stop trying to save money by running my 52" tv off my LS' cigarette lighter?

Yes. Unless you're playing drive-in movie!
