Message	The source of the hydrogen is electrolysis (~40% efficiency in some of the best circumstances). The power for the electrolysis is coming from the battery. The battery is powered by the alternator, which is a power generator, which at best has a 95% efficiency. The physical motion to power the alternator comes from a gasoline-combustion engine, which is about 50% efficiency. Meaning, you will get worse gas mileage by installing this. Anyone who believes this guy by now is a moron. He has been debunked a dozen times, selling snake-oil to hapless morons. Last I heard he was claiming the military was paying him to put this into one of their Hummers, yet the military claims absolutely no affiliation with this guy, has no financial records that point to this guy, etc.
