Hydrogen boost systems
I've seen hydrogen boost set ups lately, ranging in price from a few hundred to around a grand. I was wondering if anyone here has any experiences with them, and if they actually work, or are a bunch of hooey.

Go here to see what I have done so far : Hydrogen Booster Installed ... https://www.gassavers.org/showthread.php?t=2668 So far, it has NOT worked for me, but there are alot of caveats to that. I will post some updates on that thread. Part of my problem is that the dude I bought it from wants me to do alot of other modifications that I am wary of implementing (fuel heater, 02 disconnect, MAP/MAF replaced with potentiometer, ... etc). Because of that, I cannot make the claim that it absolutely doesn't work, only that *I* haven't made it work. Also, if I ever succeed, I think my system is a high-maintenance system in it's current form. I am of the opinion that this *will* work in a diesel, because the system is more conducive to the high compression and natural lean-burn capabilities of a diesel engine. CarloSW2 |

I just took a peak at the dude's website today, and he is publishing interesting stuff : Diesel Dynamometer Testing Analysis https://www.hydrogen-boost.com/September%202007.html Quote:
I encourage you to read-up here because he has *tons* of info on his progress, going back to 2001 : Hydrogen Boost Newsletters - Research and Development Reports https://www.hydrogen-boost.com/newsletter.html He does tons of testing of other stuff, and disproves alot of things like fuel additives and fuel magnets. He lives in Queensbury, NY, so he may not be too far from you. CarloSW2 |

Thanx for the info. This is one of the systems I was looking at...but it is 900 bux, plus another 750 if you want it installed...that is a lot of coin for something that "may or may not" work. I would do the installation myself, BUT would really want to feel the system out before I bought it. He is about 3hours away from me, so I can't really just cruise by his shop and drop in. Oh well, guess I'll just save my $ for more gas...:D |

I spent about 6 months reading on the net before I went with this guy (before I joined GasSavers). Here are the reasons : 1 - He got 100 MPG on the tour-de-sol, so he has been verified independently. 2 - He did it using a Saturn S-Series, so my SW2 drive train is compatible. 3 - There's just way too much information on his web site for him to be making it all up. 4 - I wanted to believe ;) I think his real customers are the diesel truck drivers. Other systems that are being sold to the truckers are $4K+, so he's practically a bargain in the truckers market. If I were you, I wouldn't buy one either. But, his website is very much worth the read. I think he "speaks our language" in terms of the way he does his tests. As "low throttle" GasSavers, I don't think we are compatible with his solution, :( . CarloSW2 |

I really do think he's "one of us". CarloSW2 |

What's got me interested is how his claim has remained constant, but the product kit has changed. It didn't start off as a whole system of sorts (at least when his site first went online). It started as just a browns' gas generator. I haven't looked too closely yet, so I could be putting my foot in my mouth - it looks like there were several major site changes in the beginning :p The funniest thing on the original site is his Christianity gospel. Funny, in that I have no idea why it's there :p |
