Hydrogen fuel cell?

[valley]

Greetings, Has anyone tried one of the fuel cells that adds hydrogen to your fuel?
I watched a few videos, they use a quart of water with a little Bicarb, the cell has electrically charged plates. Thanks

Sounds like snake oil and magnets to me.

Didnt the Mythbusters bust this myth?

I saw a video by Mythbusters. I'll see if I can find it.

Yup, like magnets hooked onto your water line to soften the water....like that will ever work

AW Shucks. Now you are going to tell me that a fine spray of water in the Carb. isn't going to boost my horse power and almost double my millage.:laughing:

I wouldn't tell you that, but I can believe driving it into a 40' deep lake will surely stop the carbon buildup on your piston heads. :laughing:

I think what you are thinking of is sort of snake oil, however, down south Shell is advertising "Oxygenated fuels".

Fuel Cells vary but typically take oxygen and hydrogen and put them together to make electricity and water. Electrolyzers kind of reverse the process. You can use solar or wind energy with an electrolyzer to make hydrogen gas which you can use to power an automobile. This is the "renewable fuel" process you hear about. However, large fuel cells and/or electrolyzers are VERY expensive and take lots of gas to operate given their inefficiencys. Hopefully, somebody can find a more efficient way to make them.
