On running their engines on part hydrogen, I may use it on my Rod with my 2.3 engine. I have had good results on My Ford Windstar v/6 engine. The computer was easily fooled into using the hydrogen. My 1995 Ford escort the 1st year for Fords new injection system refused to use the hydrogen it just kept pumping in more gas. I could not trick the computer on the escort.

Adiabatic Engine by Smokey Yunick

Some times in cold weather I run with no energy to it and nothing happens no increases what so ever. but as soon as I apply 12 volts to it it starts to bubble and the vacume lines sucks it right up
Just maybe your on to something...Check this out...in the early 80's Smokey Yunick developed a motor that was only 2 cylinders...He installed it into a Fiero...This car got 50 mpg and 0-60 in 5 seconds~! Gm gave him the car to work on and needless to say they did not pay him a nickle../They were spying on him by watching his patents...Well, he never gave him anything...Infact he pulled the motor out of the car and stored it in a corner....After he died he gave the motor to a family member, or friend and that person has it on display with the original motor now in another Fiero....GM said that he would put them out of business, because the Corvette would loose sales...So, they claimed that it produced NOX, but the fact of the matter, is that it did not...
There are videos on this car that Car Craft did back then on You Tube...

I knew many out there used this device but didnt want the skeptics

thank you post it. Don't listen to the types that still think the Wright Brothers never Flew. This Hydrogen works it burns hotter than Gasoline. so you have to not go over board and hurt your valves.
>> to jump in with their calculators and sheets on papers saying it dont work, All anyone has to do is try it and see. many minds will be changed, I never said you could run the complete engine on hydrogen but what it does use helps me immensely on MPG.

I never said it couldn't work. It's not working by burning the hydrogen. could be as simple as throwing sensor values running it a little leaner than it should be. As long as it remains in range, there will be no code set...

Put it on a scanner with the setup, and then turn it off. see what sensor values change. you should see a change with the O2 sensor and possibly fuel trims if somthing's happening as you say it is.

Well

taken Matt, but I don't care as long as it works for me. But I can burn the stuff coming out of my bottle I put a flash back bottle of water and bubble through that, Now if hydrogen can burn what happens to it when it gets to the combustion chamber? The same type bottle I use the guy on you tube burns a hole through a coke can with the same set up i have. This is the same stuff that sucks up my intake, What happens to it does it go out the exhaust pipe?? If the gas is flammable and it goes where a flame is it should burn, especially when its in a confined area and compressed.. Any way Matt this works for me and I not going to lose any sleep wondering how it works. I once had a hole in my roof it let water in I tried tar and all kinds of stuff to no avail. One day I put on an old Ct. License plate with 2 nails and it stayed there for 8 years and never leaked again, The point of the story is I never went up on the roof to see how and why the patch worked. All I cared was the leak stopped. I am not being wise but that's how I see things..

hydrogen fuel burning

I am starting to wonder if your not getting the temp. higher and the gas is evaporating before it gets into the chambers? Think about this for a minute...Lets just say, that with what your doing that it is becoming steam, before it enters the chamber...Your breaking down water, H2o...Since steam is hotter, could the possibility exist that the cylinder is becoming more dense? Now Smokey Yunick had it together when he did his 2 cylinder motor and put it into a Fiero...If you gas is vaporizing before it gets into the cylinder and not becoming droplets again, than you are doing basically the same as what Smokey did....Now, if this could be proved, or disproved, (gas totally vaporizing before it gets into the cylinder) then just maybe your on the right track...I am curious if the water splitting into steam, or Hydrogen, or somehow the gas is vaporizing before the charge gets into the cylinders...

I posted several articles here, if anyone wish's to browse...
Good luck with your system....
