Anybody can apply for a patent, but they can only be granted for new inventions. I would really like to know just what (the inventor thinks) is patentable about snake oil.
But, but, but dear patent office, it's a really rare snake, a unicorall snake.

If you hadn't already noticed :
As much as we like easy solutions to reduce fuel consumption, you'll find a lot of sceptics and scepticism about HHO generators here.

Adding an easily combustible gas to petrol or diesel helps combustion, but we're still looking for someone who can (f)actually prove an HHO system really works when the H2 needs to be generated on-board.


That's why HHO invariably ends up in the Unicorn Corral.

And there is a reason why HHO proponents make many posts telling us how wonderful their new system will be after they actually start it up. And more posts with bogus gas mileage misinformation.

But zero posts with properly documented ABAB test data. This post discusses how to properly test gas mileage improvements: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ery-11445.html

If the OP wants us to take him seriously, he needs act accordingly.
