Ask Dub Schwartz!
Dear Dub,
I have seen the future and it's right in our backyards. HHO kits. The key to HHO's success is that it lets you turn any car into a gasoline/HHO hybrid.
My stone mason cousin has improved his gas mileage by 20% using an incredibly crude set up -- a coffee can and an applesauce jar (oh and some tubing and alligator clips and some other stuff for the nitpickers). Total cost was under $30. As an experiment, the concept works. I've seen it work. It'll probably fall apart the first time he hits a pothole. But who cares? I know he did it, and I know I can do it (and probably refine it), and thousands of people are doing it every day. The internet is full of success stories by people who stand to gain nothing by building their own (except their own personal savings at the gas pump!)
Of course Honda and other companies want their bloated concepts to work instead. And they're glad to see the coffee can concepts scoffed at. Big business has already spent billions and have a huge infrastructure to support. No one is going to make any money on a coffee can and an applesauce jar.
Signed,
Gas Slave No More
Folks, I don't think I can come up with a better recipient for the first Golden Nut award!
