Electrolyzers - a great fuel saver? Science says NO.

Posted by Ted McEnroe August 7, 2008 at 6:24 pm

A viewer sent us a quick tip for something he felt might help motorists - they’re called electrolyzers.

The high price of gas has prompted some people to go online and look for fuel saving devices. After some research and sifting through the garbage, an electrolyzer (supplemental hydrogen) has the most credibility. A company (in Massachusetts) sells these products. For a $1,000 or less for cars, an electrolyzer can generate significant savings in fuel economy and (at the price of gas) would be a good investment and not take too long to pay for itself. The “automotive” page at www.xaviertechnologies.com is very informative and using less gas is definitely a step in the right direction.

The bad news? There’s no actual science to suggest these things work. The New York Times looked at the issue this week.

The conclusion? It’s a con. Want to cut your costs? Don’t spend money on one of these.
