Water Burns Cleaner: Hydrogen Generator
His claim that it reduces pollutants entirely should be a big red flag.
The idea of putting in distilled water and some reactants in a container and then feeding it to the engine is an interesting one. To me, his idea sounds similar to what racers do when they inject nitrous oxide into their engines, except that he is adding hydrogen instead of nitrogen. Nitrogen has a cooling property on the engine, I'm not sure what Hydrogen would do.
Distilled water breaks into two pieces when a current passes through it: H+ and OH-, 2 H+'s bond to form H2 gas, and four OH-'s bond to form O2 gas, water and 4 electrons. That's basic chemistry - electrolysis.
The oxygen generated from this aids in the combustion of the gasoline (in essence filling the space in the combustion chamber). Gasoline is basically a long chain of Carbon and Hydrogen. When you add oxygen, what results is Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, water vapor, hydrogen gas and some carbonization of the engine. The addition of Hydrogen to the mix basically means that you end up getting chains of other hydrocarbons (some which will combust early). A small amount of Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide will always result (because there is oxygen in the system and gasoline naturally has carbon in it). In addition, having the Hydrogen there is sure to produce Methane (another greenhouse gas)
If it were as simple as just putting in hydrogen into the system to increase fuel efficiency, wouldn't someone have done that already?
