Submission + - $150k Scorpion to Integrate Hydrogen Boosting (peswiki.com)
sterlingda writes: "Until Scorpion, the hydrogen boost approach has been largely a movement of garage tinkerers and do-it-yourselfers, who have build a near infinite variety of on-board electrolysis units which duct the hydroxy (HHO) gas into the air intake, to catalyze a more efficient burn of the fuel, improving mileage from 20% on the conservative end, to near doubling of the mileage according to some not-so-scientific banter that floats around the net. There are also a few commercial operations producing and selling various hydrogen boost devices for retrofitting existing vehicles. Now Ronn Motors will be integrating an on-board electrolysis unit by Hydrorunner into its $150,000 Scorpion, expected to be released at the end of 2008 or early 2009. 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. The hydrogen is just serving as a catalyst for the fuel, it is not the primary fuel source."
