Fuel Economy Booster

Joe Williams Sr. (inventor, cusp of gazillionairdom) hopes to cut your fuel costs in half while eliminating those pesky greenhouse gases. How? Well, his H2N-Gen (Hydrogen Generating Module) injects hydrogen and oxygen gases into any of earth’s one billion combustion engines resulting in a cleaner burn — upping efficiency from 35% to at least 97% thereby reducing fuel consumption by “10 to 40 per cent” with 0 pollutants out the pipe. Basically, the “DVD player” sized H2N-Gen uses current fed from the car’s battery to generate the hydrogen and oxygen from a distilled water and chemical mixture. The idea and technology is not new, as several companies are currently working on this — but none with the same success demonstrated by Williams to date. He claims his device has “over 80 million miles” of successful testing and hopes to bring the product to market in 6 to 12 months. The Gazette ran their own tests with an H2N-Gen prototype strapped to their 2000 Jeep Cherokee and found a 10% or so savings in fuel with 0 emissions. Williams is being sued for patent infringement as proof of this market’s potential payoff. We’ll take two — not that we actually own a car, but we’re suckers for anything sporting old school toggle flip switches.

If its for real, it will be fantastic, being able to mod older cars, it might even be a good idea to make it mandatory.

maybe.
