1. What point are you making? N/T

[HysteryDiagnosis]

2. Point, reduction in the burning of fossil fuels to do the same

amount of work. Reduction in the amount of pollution affecting my lungs and your lungs, reduction in the need to hoard platinum and other precious metals to build catalytic converters, after burners, (such as on the new diesel pickups), reduction in the need to debate whether or not this system makes a difference. IMHO this ends the discussion.

I don't know about you, but for me this is on the other side of ridiculous.

Screw the recall. Ford should offer an afterburner kit on all its Super Duty pickups. What better way to tell GM and Toyota the blue oval is not to be trifled with than a column of flame shooting from its tailpipe. Extra special bonus for gunning it next to a saw mill or propane distribution center. – Mike Spinelli

http://www.forddoctorsdts.com/articles/article-07-01.php

March 23, 2007  As bizarre as this may look, flames from a tail-pipe are not unheard of by any means. Ask anyone that has improperly set the floats in a carburetor or watched a stock car race at night. But this is a diesel and these kinds of things don't happen right? What you are looking at is a 2008 model truck equipped with a diesel engine that has an exhaust aftertreatment system and the result of an obvious malfunction. All diesel engines built and certified for highway and off road use after January 1, 2007 are required to have an exhaust aftertreatment system to meet the requirements of tightening Federal emmissions standards. Apparently we are learning new things about these systems as we put them to the test on the streets. The related video clip shows one such lesson in action, however the DTS does not know the origin of the video therefore we do not know where, or when it was shot and what the root cause of this thermal event was.

The aftertreatment system uses a Diesel Particulate Filer, or DPF, which is designed to collect and incinerate diesel particulate matter that is produced by the combustion process in diesel engines. This process is known as “regeneration” and it is automatically performed under certain operating conditions to clean the DPF and reduce system backpressure caused by the collected diesel particulates. To burn the particilate matter, the exhaust temperature needs to be elevated to around 1100ºF. The 6.4L Power Stroke® engine achieves and regulates this heat by injecting small amounts of fuel during the exhaust stroke as it monitors the exhaust temperatures though the use of three temperature sensors located in the exhaust system. On a couple of rare occasions, a fuel injector or the turbo has failed, combined with the normal regeneration process and produced a flame. These types of failures allow unmetered fuel or uncontained engine oil to mix with the exhaust gasses and ignite if the exhaust temperature raises high enough.

Details on the safety recall 07S49 are limited but the recall states that the PCM recalibration is “to limit these temperatures in the event of this rare combination of events...” What you have to understand is that manufacturers do not reveal things like calibration information and just how the new calibration will limit the exhaust temperatures or what was changed. We can speculate that a limit was never set, the tolerances were not tight enough or a limit was not thought to be necessary. After all, oil and fuel is not supposed to be getting into the exhaust and perhaps this kind of “thermal event” did not occur during the extensive testing period. We may never know but we are pleased to see that this concern has been identified and addressed early on. You never can tell what will unexpectedly turn up as new technologies progress.

Recall 07S49 was released on March 23, 2007 which requires the affected vehicles to have their Powertrain Control Modules recalibrated. If you own a 2008 F-250/350/450/550 vehicle equipped with a 6.4L diesel engine that was built at the Kentucky Truck Plant before March 9, 2007 you will receive a recall notice to have this recall performed. You may contact your local Ford dealer to see if your vehicle is affected or you can also visit http://www.ford.com/en/vehicles/owners/recalls/default.htm to enter your truck's Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to see if it has been recalled.

4. Jolly good

From your first link:

"It’s not the HHO that makes the engine run. It’s what the HHO does to the inefficient gasoline concerning combustion efficiency. Gasoline is but only 13% efficient on average when it comes to actual power produced by the combustion process. Adding an additional fuel and oxidizer "aka HHO" causes the inefficient gasoline to burn at a rate of better than 95% efficiency"

This creates the impression that efficiency improves from 13 to 95% with HHO. Read carefully and it states overall efficiency averages only 13% before HHO and combustion efficiency is 95% after HHO. The first value includes thermal efficiency and mechanical efficiency and averages in the time when the engine is idle at red lights and running rich during warm up. The second value states that you are almost burning all the fuel in the combustion chamber with no mention of how much energy is available to do useful work - not based on thermal or mechanical efficiency.

I was under the impression that greater than 95% of the fuel is burnt in the combustion chamber in a properly tuned car during steady state cruising. Only during hard acceleration over some engine speed and full power operation is the mixture really rich for the sake of intake charge cooling to suppress knock. Since the mixture is richer than stoichiometric then there isn't sufficient oxygen to burn all the fuel in the combustion chamber and HHO wouldn't help. Full acceleration can only be used for a few seconds at a time - a small fraction of operating life - and only economy cars with tiny engines get close to using full power when cruising on the highway.

Anyway, your point is well taken that HHO could utilize fuel that would otherwise be burnt uselessly in the catalytic converter (air is injected into the cat to make this work). Perhaps HHO might be at its most useful with diesel engines because they operate with an excess of air (oxygen) most of the time and HHO could help reduce soot, especially with older vehicles.

5. It's sales pitch, not science.

There is no independent third party verification that these things work.

The emissions results in the OP may well be true, but the claims that their product is responsible for those results is unverified. It is just part of the sleight of hand sales pitch.

Also, we have no evidence that these results could be sustained for more than a few minutes.

This scam has been around for fifty years (that I know of) and the only thing that changes is the sales pitch.

The OP has posted links to several companies with the same scam going. None of these companies have submitted their devices to independent third parties for testing.

And you can bet you ass they won't do it any time soon.

6. I don't have any third party tests proving that men

walked on the moon... do you deny that this event actually happened or do you take someone's word for it??? Tic toc, tic toc... bright kids here, you could learn a thing or two.




http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2008/may/27/chattanooga-two-bright-school-students-earn-nation/?entertainmentlifeentertainment
Indeed, the Bright School students went beyond what was needed for the contest and tested their theory by putting together a kit and installing it in an old van.

The kit uses electricity from the car’s battery to separate water into its two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule. When the separation takes place, the gas HHO, also known as Brown’s gas or hydroxy, is produced and burned on demand — and in conjunction with gasoline — by the vehicle’s engine.

What the boys found proved their theory.

Gas mileage on the GMC Vandura 2500 increased by 19.5 percent, and the vehicle went from failing the state emissions test to passing it.

O.J. Morgan, headmaster of Bright School, said the project showed the two boys already are looking for real-time solutions.

“They’re thinking about solving problems,” he said. “It’s something they’re bringing to our attention. It’s a part of their world.”

Mrs. McMillan, who agreed to sponsor the students after they had learned about the properties of water and had an understanding of compounds from her class, said they only worked on the project outside of class.

“I said I would sponsor them,” she said, “but then I never heard from them again. They worked a lot of late nights. It shows they can do as much as you give them and even more.”

Pretty sad that you STILL do not get it. I guess it's hard to be proven wrong in public like this, but look on the bright side, you have me to thank for it all.
