Intro by Sterling D. Allan for Pure Energy Systems News

The sexy $150,000 Scorpion sports car by Ronn Motors is making energy history by implementing hydrogen boost technology as part of the factory design, due out at the end of 2008 or beginning of 2009.
Until Scorpion, the hydrogen boost approach has been largely a movement of garage tinkerers and do-it-yourselfers, who have built a near infinite variety of on-board electrolysis units which duct the hydroxy (HHO) gas into the air intake, catalyzing a more efficient burn of the fuel. This improves fuel economy at least by 20%, and according to some internet gossip, can produce a near doubling of the mileage. There are also a few commercial operations producing and selling various hydrogen boost devices for retrofitting existing vehicles.
In several mainstream news stories about fuel efficiency, the "official" line has been that no fuel-saving devices or techniques actually work, adding in one case, "if they did, surely the automobile manufacturers would be taking notice and implementing them into their vehicles for a competitive edge in the marketplace" <1> (
http://money.cnn.com/video/#/video/news/2008/07/10/energyfix.popmech2.cnnmoney) This isn't a very convincing comeback, considering the history of emerging technologies.
Currently, however, the hydrogen boost approach is getting a huge shot of credibility with this visionary development by Ronn Motors, who will be integrating an on-board electrolysis unit by Hydrorunner.
The system involves a 1.5 gallon tank for water electrolysis. Ronn Motors is working on being able to fill the tank with condensation from the air conditioning system, which will allow it to replenish itself. This injection system is very efficient, stretching fuel mileage an extra 20 to 40 percent.
As of Aug. 14, 2008, the company has one prototype, without the body design, that has achieved 178 mph. Two other prototypes integrating the body design will be built and displayed at a Vegas unveiling.

Interview
On August 18, 2008, Sterling D. Allan will be conducting a live, 1-hour interview with Damon Kuhn, COO of Ronn Motors, to talk about the hydrogen boosting aspect of their Scorpion, as part of the Free Energy Now (http://freeenergynow.net) radio series.
How it Works
Hydrorunner G3Quoting from http://www.hydrorunner.com/our-technology-4.html
Hydrorunner’s hydrogen on demand retro-fit system is designed for any ICE internal combustion or Diesel Engine. We create Hydrogen(H2) gas through electrolysis, or “cracking water” as it also known, with no catalyst. This is important to note because many catalysts that are used can cause internal breakdown over time of key engine components.
