Default Water for Gas conversion?

Has anyone ever done the water for gas conversion on their civic? Is this real or is it a scam? Sounds like a scam to me... but the theory behind it seems real...

You mean like a hydrogen powered car that uses electrolysis to separate oxygen from hydrogen and uses the hydrogen to run?

They exist but there expensive a s***.

No apparently its a hydrogen/gasoline hybrid which supposedly increases your mpg by 40%. Just google water for gas and theres so many sites that talk about it. I dont know if its a scam thou...

It's a scam. The theory behind it proves that it can't work when you actually run some numbers instead of waving your hands in the air.

Think about it for a minute. You cannot get more energy out of something then you're putting into it. SO if your car is performing the electrolysis (using your cars generated electricity) to split water molecules and then burning the hydrogen it's a loosing game. Alternators are only at best 50% efficient. So you're going to see a drop in fuel economy.
