You need a 2nd opinion...its a load of crap. Been tried on several automotives forums. Don't work.

Engineers at the big three have spent millions trying to develop a hydrogen engine and have not been able to get one that was practical. Beware of internet scams.

I have no personal experience on this, but I assume its the same as the hydrokit scam for cars thats been proven on various tv motor shows and even Discovery channel - Mythbusters, to not work.

From the looks of the kit I could knock one up in my kitchen from a blender, some wiring and a sprinkle of magic fairy dust. Lol.

Says full refund givenif not satisfied, yeah right, just try getting your cash back. Up to you, you pay your money and take your chances, I wouldnt tho.

Its worrying that the comments section is closed now also? Too many bad comments given maybe?

One look at that "Web page" design should be enough for anybody, even if one has no clue about mechanics.

There was a guy in the German Kymco forum claiming he had successfully implemented the hydrogen kit in his Xciting500 and in his chinese 150cc scooter.
20% more power and 50% less fuel consumption he claimed...
Nearly everybody in the USA would drive with hydrogen and only the silly Germans don't know about this.
Our prayers to illuminate us with evidence have not really been answered, he only repeated his claims.
He spammed for nearly 4 weeks and then vanished into his higher spheres.
And thus we silly Germans stay snobbish and antiquated with our old style Otto and Diesel engines.

@old mod
Basically electric energy from the dynamo is used for electrolysis of water and then (together with fuel) recombusted in the engine.
Claim is, that all the expended energy for electrolysis with the inherent losses (dynamo etc.) is overbalanced by the effectivness of the combustion.
In some sense the hydrogen would work as a catalyst.

Also remember ts1, the new way to launch a product or get the word out is thro facebook and web forums, such as this one. The advertisers love it cos its very cheap and anon. Wouldnt surprised me if the guy was part of the hydro company, especially since he has now vanished?

It it works I would buy it, till I see 100% proof tho I wont, personal choice.
