Oxyhydrogen Automobiles


Mr. Teddy Cline claims that for $150, we can convert our cars into some sort of hybrids that run on gas and water, and save over 40% on fuel. If it works, this is not a bad deal at all - an average driver can save about $800 a year*. I came across several companies with similar claims.

Mr. Cline believes that most of the cars would be running on water by 2012**. What struck me the most was his 56-day 100% money back guarantee:-)


This is an odd ad, even though the number 56 is even! We typically see guarantees for 30 days, 90 days, one year, etc. - not for 28 days and 56 days. May be he is trying to make a point "why not?". If we (humans) are born with 7 fingers on each hand, we probably will be using a non-decimal numbering system now, and 10 would be an odd number for us. Or, may be his gizmo self destructs on day 57, 56% of the time! Here is a video about his HHO machine.



*My guesstimate - 15,000 miles/year, 27 miles/gallon, $3.70/gallon

**My buddy Raama must be thinking, "they better run on water, coz a good chunk of world will be under it by 2012 :-)"

Gopa, yet another reference to 2012!

Was thinking: If 2012 does happen, it's a lot of hot water, otherwise, it's a lot of hot air ;-)

HA! HA! Raama. You are poised to win either way - if it happens, it would be an affirmation for your belief. If it doesn't, you will feel good as lot of your friends/family would survive the wrath of nature:-)

I am glad that you mentioned 2012. I meant to provide a link to your blog and I forgot; now it is taken care of
