That was really biased...what would have happened if they blew up the fuel lines under the vehicle?

That is EXACTLY correct GeeGee, I'm glad someone here has a functional grasp of the issue. The H is produced P.R.N and introduced into the intake downstream from the MAP sensor. But I'm going to explain what I have learned, I was asking for input from persons who actually KNEW what they were talking about.

Could you ge the system to work on just hydrogen? Or does it have to have a combination of gas an hydrogen?

Thier claims sound pretty good...and you know what they say, if it sounds to good to be true it probably isn't...

Yeah, I know what you're saying, Hydrogen is not safeas some inert fuel like Gasoline! I've never know gasoline to burn, explode under pressure or cause any eco-disasters. How silly of me! I guess I'm just a dumb fireman that has never dealt with any hazardous substances, that's a job best left to professional salesmen and paper pushers. Here's a link proving how dangerous this evil Hydrogen gas is, thanks for enlightening me.

They triedhydrogen in the Hindenburg...I seem to recall itworked just fine.
Wasn't trying to be offensive there - more power to you if you can get it to work. No pun intended.

Actually, the saying is, "If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is".

I have been looking at the hydrogen option for a while.
I remember a hydrogen powered H2 all over the internet, what was the reason for that one not being produced for the public?

Problem with hydrogen is that it is not widely availaible and gas stations have not switched to water yet...and reeljeep, if you can get it to work more power to you, just dont blow yourself up

I find it inconcieveable that people worry about Hydrogen (H2) all the while thinking gasoline is as safe as any elemental compound on Earth. Well brothers and sisters, I'm here to tell ya that gasoline is some nasty stuff! It's much nastier than Hydrogen gas and it's a liquid as opposed to a gas thus making it a potential environmental hazard also. SO here's the deal with (H2) it's made in small quantities in your vehicle and it only burns as much as needed. None is stored in or on the vehicle and it's a fuel supplement, not a fuel. Burning pure H2 is in our future because the Chinese and Indians will soon deplete every last drop of oil on Earth. So here's the skinny...Coming to a filling station near you http://www.hydrogen.gov/

Nova,
the problem with those hummers was the tanks involved to hold the hydrogen were so large( two that took up the back area and one on the underside ) it wasn't practicle with the 100 mile range to make them in production( but fun to drive..not).
The problem with running straighthydrogen on a vehicle is simpley the shear volume of gas needed to run the engine. Better storage in more solid form is definately on the way but still needs work for practicle range applications.
In a recent project we had a 572 cubic inch twin turbo engine on the dyno that we could normally trip over and make over 2000 + horsepower barely and i mean barely make 800 hp on pure hydrogen !and you would not believe the volume of gas it took to do this. Now i'm not sure about any of this if it is a mix with conventional fuel but on the pure end i speak from experience.
