Having worked in process control for nearly 30 years, I have learned that, often times, operators observe something and totally misunderstand what was the cause, what was the affect, and what just happened to be a coincidence. Many times I have been told a story that is not possible. Nevertheless if one is wise enough to listen and ask the right questions, the mystery can be solved with some new learning’s. I have seen operators make something work by observations and trial, yet their theory of why it works is totally wrong.

I have also seen some people on some other forums, talking about this technology, with good solid people claiming some success. These are people who I trust to be knowledgeable and not prone to telling tall tales. Now from an educated position, it takes more energy to separate the hydrogen from the water than you will get from burning the hydrogen. I suspect there is something going on here that does improve the MPG, but it is not from burning the hydrogen alone. Just because the theory of why it works is all wrong doesn’t mean that it is not working. Just that the true nature of why it works is not understood.

I am suspecting a few possibilities. One is that the baking soda at some point in this process is causing a chemical reaction that is providing more energy. The other suspicion is that at some point steam is coming into play. It is quite possible that there are multiple things going on.

Perhaps a snake oil salesman has unwittingly got people onto a great discovery that is just around the corner.
