They tested a small hydrogen cell on a carbureted V8 and it didn't work
because it was to small and they covered the carburetor, which didn't
allow any air to mix with the hydrogen so of course the car would not
start. They are not mechanics these two. Some one who understood how an
engine works would know about a little thing called an air fuel
mixture. The only form of hydrogen that burns without air is hydrogen
peroxide above seventy five percent and it is to caustic use in a car.
Plus they could have killed themselves when they sprayed hydrogen into
the open carburetor. The hydrogen could have ignited and burned them to
death. A hydrogen fire is odorless and colorless. Try it again boys'
get a carburetor for propane and a cell about ten times larger.

Coming to your dealer's showroom soon, the very latest in automotive
technology, the GM Hindenberg.

Bull****. That thing burned because they used flammable paint on it.

You sort of started in the middle of a story here. Who are "they"?

Read the subject line. Mythbusters is a program on the Discovery Channel.

If enough people "call em out" on this, they'll probably re-do it.

*That* did not look safe.

The device was a hoax and that was their point. Electrolysing hydrogen
to burn in a car is a lot less efficiernt than simply making an
electric car. If you can make enough hydrogen at home to fulfil your
transportation needs you can probably just use a golf cart.

True hydrogen cars, which I believe is the wave of the future, will not
burn hydrogen, but will use the hydrogen in a chemical fuel cell which will
generate electricity that will drive an electric motor.
