Errrrrrrr! Posts: 302 Group: Members Member #3,825 Joined: February 11, 2009	A m8 of mine has gone into this in a big way and already got one of his 3 cars fitted with a hydrogen system. It's designed to assist with the fueling as opposed to running it completely. By all accounts, it's a bloody good idea, in that it can be turned off when pottering around town, or turned on when out on the main roads. It uses dual electrodes filled with a hydrogen peroxide solution . . . . . I think anyway, and the gas produced is piped into the top of the air intake, thus enriching the mixture, or something like that. Can't really say anymore, as that's as much as i know so far. I'll update when i see him next. Paul

crazy mind Posts: 613 Group: Members Member #2,419 Joined: March 14, 2008	Hi Alan, When I was at uni my basic searches were at sciencedirect, engineering village, ASME, SAE, NACA and finally the one I mainly used for my MSc was www.scirus.com , If you have an Athens account from your UNI you have to use it for most of the engineering databases. Otherwise check policies of uni for requesting journals and papers. Usually the latest papers and those of high importance are available on order.
