I was going to kill this thread, but I'd like to know more. Sounds similar to a prize I learned about recently that's directed at "clairvoyants".

Here are some details I discovered during my HHO research near the end of 2008.According to PESWiki,in July 2008 Bruce Simpson of Australia threw down the gauntlet to "hydroxy booster" gurus.He does not believe the claims of anything above 25% improvement in mileage via an onboard electrolyzer that ducts the HHO mixture into the vehicles air intake to effect a more efficient burn of fuel. If someone can prove such a system, he'll pay them 1 million dollars. As of Oct 2008 there were 5 pre-registrants for Simpson's prize,but nobody had paid the $5000.00 registration fee.You need to prove 25% or greater improvement in fuel economy for a 6 month period without causing any engine damage.

The one million dollar HHO challenge Wikipedia, also back around that time mentioned a Hydrogen Prize to encourage research into Hydrogen as an alternate fuel. It was in congress at the time for funding approval.I have not followed up on it to this day.
