If there was a way to make H2 and O2 efficiently using the engine as a power source, then we all would be driving around with H2/O2 internal combustion engine and a tank of water, instead of hydrocarbons.

I talked to these Canadian folks at the Great American Truck Show in Dallas, TX:
www.hy-drive.com Granted, we should be skeptical but at least show a little consideration in the fact that there are commercial companies that have invested research into how hydrogen can boost economy and reduce emissions. They mentioned that their most promising research has been with diesel engines used in transportation and mining. By using an injection enhancement system, they no longer had to deal with storage and the explosion hazards involved with using hydrogen as a sole source of fuel.
Sure there are scam artists around that will jump on the "greenie" bandwagon with all kinds of wierd advertising stating "the government doesn't want you to know this"
or "the big oil companies are fighting to keep this a secret"
while trying to sell you a markedly inferior product that does nothing. Personally, anyone that uses such statements in their advertising is trying to sell you a "bill of goods"
and would be willing to bet that no one from the gov't or an oil company has ever approached them in such a manner. With this in mind, I am also very skeptical of the e-bay vehicle that makes no mention of the manufacturer of the HHO injection system and wants over $10k for a car that may be worth less than $2k.
