Hydrogen Generating Module to Help Your Car?

TomClancy_Jack writes "A Canadian man claims to have invented a hydrogen electrolysis box that can be fit onto any existing internal combustion engine. He claims that engines using his "H2N-Gen" box 'produce a more complete burn, greatly increasing efficiency and reducing fuel consumption by 10 to 40 per cent - and pollutants by up to 100 per cent.' If this doesn't turn out to be vapor-ware or just a regular scam, it could turn out to be one of the biggest recent innovations in transportation history. He claims it will be on the market in 6 - 12 months, so time will tell."

Slashdot is Fucking Stupid

[Karma Farmer]

The responses to this article have proven something I've long suspected -- the average Slashdot poster is really, really fucking stupid.

This article screams snake oil and junk science. It's not even funny junk science, it's just sad and depressing. The article describes people who are sinking their life savings into these scams. And a full 3/4 of the posts so far on slashdot are just dipshits with absolutely no understanding of basic high school physics trying to defend the most outrageous claims in the article.

It was one thing when this article hit fark at 3am last night, and the tin-foil hat crowd started on their "acetone" crap. You can forgive the bad science on a website full of drunk people asking "what would happen if I drank poison ivy?" But it's just not excusable here.

Can anyone recommend a decent website for technology news and science reporting?

It's all going to try and assassinate inventors of fuel-efficient vehicles
 
Those who modded this "funny" need to look at what happens to everyone who tries to get a motionless electric generator to market.
