I have always felt that some external power supply is the only way a system like this would work. It is proven that the systems do in fact generate a burnable gas, but most would agree that powering it off of the very engine that you are trying to feed simply doesn't work. Solar would be a great option for the power source, but with current tech may not generate enough power to be noticeable. Maybe foot pedals for passengers, or an external battery recharged like a plug in hybrid?
