With the advent of hydrogen powered transport in the near future,has there been any progress in the production of hho cells for older vehicles?
I know it was a big talking point a while ago but seems to have died a death.Are there big pointers for the future for the use of such "fuel savers"?Has anyone patented the idea and progressed to producing one?Peppib---How`s the minor getting on with fuel consumption.
Talking of fuel savings---i remember in the sixties,i fitted an exhaust twin pipe extractor fuel economizer to my minivan---it did`nt save on fuel cos
it sounded so good---you were using the gearbox to maximize the tone!!
Ah well----the price of progress.
Cheers--Ray the Rocker... |

Hi Ray,
Because of my ill health my cars haven't seen that much action this year. I did take the Minor to deepest Shropshire (can't remember exactly where, another age thing ) but the return trip from Newcastle on Tyne cost me just £40 (picking up car parts for a friend btw - if it had been somewhere for me I probably would have remembered ..... or maybe not ) The Merc still purrs away merrily - a 450 mile jaunt to and around Birmingham last weekend used 13 gallons of petrol - and about a pint of water so I still have more pennies in my pocket than I used to.
It does only work if you are light footed. The Merc was travelling at a steady 60 - 65 on the motorways. If you like sticking your foot down the unit will not make any difference whatsoever. |
