[AT] HHO

[Larry D. Goss]

FWIW, the hydrogen welder that I owned (and that is in a local pawn
shop) only uses one hose.  There is a metal catalyst in the tank with
the peroxide.  That causes the peroxide to release its extra hydrogen
and it eventually reverts to water.  The hydrogen goes through a nickel
screen and spontaneously combusts without the presence of oxygen (or was
it some other metal?)  How it does this without consuming the nickel, I
don't remember.  If you search for information on hydrogen thrusters for
spacecraft you'll probably find the process documented.  Like I said, I
got scared of the prospect of blowing myself up, so I took it back for a
refund.

I don't know that the process at the HHO website is the same, but as
George says, it's doubtful that we're looking at a new technology and
the question about using the energy required for converting directly
rather going through the conversion process is legitimate.

For that matter, has anyone done an energy balance on ethanol as a fuel
additive to see how much is being saved through that conversion?  The
last I knew, the laws of thermodynamics have not been repealed.  :-)

I looked the site over pretty good and all I saw  was a big green box
that 
looked impressive but no where did I actually see a  hose hooked up to
the this 
box that was connected to a torch. I saw a torch and  one hose coming
from the 
box but you can't see what else is or if anything is  actually hooked up
to 
the big green box. That torch has two hoses what is the  other one
hooked to. 
I believe this might be just as you said one big scam.
