The whole lawsuit was a sham. We all know that cars have problems, we all know that new technology has issues. He had a video of the working model running and driving. The whole lawsuit was because a couple (2) investors didnt want to wait for their money to come back.
Plus he died after a toast with cranberry juice with NATO delegates. His brother was with him. He ran out into the parkinglot and told his brother that he was poisoned.

Dying right after a toast is really fishy. He probably was killed, think about how much money are economy would lose if we didnt use gas, no stations, no refinerys, no need to transport fuel, ect. Thats alot of people that would be out of work not to mention all the money the gov. makes from taxing gas, it makes sense to kill the guy. F'ing greedy bastards! With a browns gas set up you do save on gas milage, you just use more electricity that the car is generating anyways to do it. Your saving money on gas at the cost using more electricity in your system, makes sense to me. I just wonder how often you have to change/add water and baking soda.

But the extra electricity comes from your gasoline, it isn't free - so I dont get where any gas savings would come from
Think of it this way, if you used a large number of HHO units - enough for the engine to run on completely HHO. And then you attached a device to collect all the water from the exhaust, and feed that water back to the HHO unit.
You would be able to run the engine forever on the same water, splitting it up into HHO and then recombining it into water forever.
It sounds an awful lot like a perpetual motion machine

I have one of those for sale as well.

Pretty sure engines are 30-40% efficient depending on the design. Of course the point is still valid either way. Now if you had some wicked wind generators at home..........
Actually engines are about 75%-85% effiecient, N/A, and up to 120% or more efficient with forced induction.

Does it just get faster and faster every day?!
Don't you also have to have different compression to run off of hydrogen? I'd think you'd have to change your entire setup of your engine (intake, timing, spark, internals? etc) to make it actually work well. I know that BMW is running a bunch of 7 series off of pure hydrogen combustion on the V12 models, but they are only making barely half the HP that the gas combustion models run. So I guess when it says you'll "boost power" and shit, that's a fucking lie.

If they made a viable solution yes it would put a couple people out of a job. but it would possibly cause those same people to live a lot longer due to there not being poisons in the air from smog.
Think about this:
Creating an invention to turn a normal car to run on water would not only affect transportation but think about electrical energy. You could therefore take the same hydrogen solution and put it on an electrical generator. Bam no ore electric bills
With saving those two major bills you would have enough money to buy more things (consumerist society) therefore the need for manufacturing jobs would go up and truckers would just have to change from oil and gas to shipping products. Althogh with the amount of products that are oil based the oil truckers will never be fully out of a job along with the oil workers. But they will be able to make more of a profit due to themselves not having to pay for gas.
Overall creating a car to run on water would benefit humanity and out planet, so why stop it.

I think we have different definitions of efficiency... 100% efficient = can extract all available energy from a source with 0 loss.

I think you are thinking of volumetic efficiency, not gas/fuel/energy efficiency.

DURR!!!
Yep, I guess I was thinking that. And he was right, engines are only about 30-40% efficient, as with energy, since they only use about that much of the total heat produced from combustion.
WOOPSIES!!!

I love the idea of perpetual motion! I think it seems possible that we could use energy to create energy to use it once again over and over. Hybrids are sort of doing this, it's just that eventually at some point you run out of energy.
I think the browns gas set up could eventually work, we just need a better way to generate electricity then an altinator, or at least a more efficient altinator that uses less energy to create energy. From what I've read people are imporving"edit, improving" their gas milage so it does work somewhat.
