i stumbeld on this almost by acedent but what thay are doing is useing hydrogen gas as a supliment for the gasoline fuel in thare cars to acheve better fuel econimy. afew of them turbo charged. now that isent the cool part though. the cool part is that insted of haveing a loaded BOMB on bord thay are making what thay need on demand though a proces called electrolises. esenchaly what thay are doing is takeing water, brakeing it down into 2hydrogen atoms and one oxegen atom and dumping it into the intake. i have been messing around with it for about 5-6 months and have a working prototype but i am to afraid to put it on my car and for good reson.

in one of my exparaments i hade containd some in a plastic 2liter bottel and lite it on fire. 2 make along story shorter, it was like somone shot of 2 shotguns right next to your ears. my friend lossed hearing for 24 hours and as for the bottel, yo would have expected it to blow out in all directions but instead it burned so fast it went clear through the thick bottemof the bottel without damaging the thiner side wall.

now all that aside thare are plenty of reports of people using the system secsesfully with positive results so i belive it can be done. i was just wondering if anyone hear has herd or better yet done this with positive results on a 1.8t that would like to talk about it with me. i now its a long shot but i figure why not ask, imean you all have heard the dumbist of the dumb maby you can put up with one more dumb aass question

A fuel cell is an electrochemical conversion device. It produces electricity from fuel (on the anode side) and an oxidant (on the cathode side), which react in the presence of an electrolyte. The reactants flow into the cell, and the reaction products flow out of it, while the electrolyte remains within it. Fuel cells can operate virtually continuously as long as the necessary flows are maintained.
