i try not to believe things like this unless i actually fiddle with them.
sometimes i have had time to waste and i actually have looked at the snake oil salesmen's offerings on ebay, watched some goofy videos, and played with some stuff on the bench. i have enough previous experience in the wonderful world of science to know what is absolute bullshit.
in my current line of work i have access to a pretty good chemistry lab and i've had the experience of actually having the brown slime from one of these ebay "hydrogen" cells analyzed, samples burned in a gas chromatograph, etc. so i have a basis for my comments. i've also modified an industrial grade pwm power supply to operate the same cell on the bench under tighter controls than you'd find on a car. i did this stuff to show the chemist/ car buff who was involved that it was balderdash. i think i convinced him it was bullshit and a giant waste of time and money to try to run this crap on a car.
others aren't so easily convinced.

I take offence to the above statement. I have run my car on balderdash consistently over my lifetime.
All you have to do is get a sample of the 91 RON petrol they sell here and test it... The 91 RON fuel rating is balderdash...
Richard, I am with you. Thats why I like JNL. they independently try to replicate this stuff. overuntiy motors et al. and they are not afraid to publish negative reults or poor results.
I followed the "overunity" motor portrayed by some internett goof a few years back. turns out that the energy being measured was indeed higher than that input, but was of a nature that could not be practically used. ie no electrical application was capable of utilising it. and if you went to the trouble of designing a converter. ipso facto.... it ain't over unity any more. JNL proved this.
Of course, the inventors argument was that manufacturers over the world should indeed invest in R&D to work out a way to apply his new found crackhead energy and design overunity appliances....(so to speak)
Sigh... and if anyone is onterested in workbench experiments, go build a Bedini motor. then put it alongside a similar 9 v DC motor and run them together... you will be surprised...
