With gas prices over $4 a gallon, many people are looking for any type of break.

One Walton County man discovered a product that has helped him see savings at the pump, and it's a system everyone can use and it comes at a reasonable price.

Phillip Todd was feeling pain at the pump, like the rest of us, when he discovered a way to electrolyze water and save money.

Phillip Todd said, "It came to be because I was just basically getting tired of paying $4 a gallon for gas. I just started putting stuff together and tried it out in my car and started saving gas."

The electrolyze uses voltage from the alternator to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. The molecules mix with the gas and increase the car's octane rating.

"It's burned as the gas is normally burned it just burns more efficiently with the extra hydrogen and oxygen and steam that's in the system."

The electrolyzer can save you about 20 percent per gallon, and the construction is actually quite easy. It's basically a mason jar and a few basic hardware parts. Todd drives a sporty Honda S2000 that used to average 27 miles per gallon, but with the electrolyze, the car now gets around 35 miles per gallon and he says the modifications can work on any car.

"There are about three or four separate packages, but it's all pretty much the same technology, just a different application."

So how much would these modifications cost you? Anywhere from $150 dollars to $275, based on the size of your car's engine.

Todd says that's a steal compared to the price you would pay for a brand new hybrid.

"The initial coast of paying 25 or 30 thousand dollars is much higher than paying a few hundreds of dollars to retrofit your system."

If you're interested in finding out more about the electrolyze or you'd like to purchase one, you're asked to e-mail Phillip at patodd40@gmail.com

We just have a hard time believing you Terry because your facts are WRONG! The 25% you talk about is NOT the unburned fuel but the efficiency-- because of the waste heat. Essentially all the fuel is burned, except for a minute amount. The only way to make that IC engine more efficient would be to somehow expand the gases working on the piston and allow them to exit at outside temperature instead of the hundreds of degrees they do. All the waste heat that heats up the block and exits thru the radiator doesn't help either. So now you're left with the only way this system could work--- it uses H2 as fuel instead of the gas. But unfortunately, it couldn't possibly generate enough H2 in that little bottle to actually do this. SCAM! and dreams by people who want this to work.

See what I mean about dis-information? For the record, I myself installed, and tested one of these in a different configuration. I traveled 60.1 miles round trip using 1.5 gallons of gasoline. That works out to 40.066666666666666666666666666667 MPG. The Brown's gas or HHO forces the gasoline to completely burn giving off more hydrocarbons. Any good mechanic knows that most engines only burn about 25% of the fuel that is in the combustion chamber. The rest gets pumped out the tail pipe. When the hydrocarbons in the exhaust are too high the O2 sensor will adjust the fuel mix to be leaner, thus saving fuel consumption. No reprogramming, milling or changing pistons took place. In fact I never even took the breather off. I've posted my email address for those of you who would like to find out more. This technology could change our lives. Properly applied it could even make you less dependent on the power companies for your coffee in the morning. Let’s take this country back people. It's up to us.

This is Brown's gas. This scam has been around since the 70's. It takes more power to produce than the small amount of hydrogen adds to the engine. In order for it to work at all many things need to be changed in the engine including reprogramming the computer and increasing the compression ratio by milling the heads or changing the pistons. This snake oil goes in the same category as fuel line magnets and the tornado. I am sure Phillip would be glad to sell you a system for $275 dollars, the parts are less than $50.

Just a quick comment. The young man in Walton county has far from discovered the electrolyzer! This is technology that has been around since the early 1900's. I know this because I have just today brought mine online using sources from the internet. The device that he displayed on TV is not the most efficient configuration possible. The one I have built has taken my 23 MPG 1989 Chevy S-10 up to 40 MPG for the outragous price of $40.00 in scavenged parts and some of my personal time at home. Here are some links to web sites that will help the do-it yourselfer get started saving today. Also, there is a lot of disinformation out there, so don't be a skeptic when you read something negative because you will run across negative info.
