Only problem is from the sounds of it, it still takes electricity to convert the water into HHO, so even if we switched to the fuel we'd be using gas and such to create the electricty. Its just like any other form of alternative fuel so far...its just lengthening the time we can depend on oil, but in the end not solving the true problem.

Now that all depends on how we generate that electricity. Unfortunately, I'm 3 sheets to the wind so. I can't think of any specific methods so.... ****it, someone else take over...

Doesn't matter. If every car in the world would use this, say a 50-50 water-fuel mixture, and get tremendous gas mileage, will will effectively use maybe 1/2 or 1/3 of what we used to use in cars. So counting that oil usage would drop by at least 30% (guessing)

i thought about water too, but i'm certainly no chemist able to do it.

my guess what they mean by the h-h-o gas is that they seperate all the molecules so when the gas comes out you have 2 hydrogen atoms which a very combustable and an oxygen atom which is needed to combust. Thats just my understanding but I may be wrong.

2 years a go// a filipino guy had that idea, and told the goverment about it.. philippine goverment thought hes crazy. did not really pay attention.. guess what happened.. japan paid him to migrate.. so he and his family are living in japan. working on that thoery..

another theory that would be better is the use of bio degradable waste.. as gas (back to the future 2) wouldnt that be better??
