Imagine that a new technology suddenly appears promising to eliminate our dependence on foreign oil almost overnight. It’s cheap and effective. How would the auto-oil-government industrial cartel respond, you think?
Certainly not like their current response (or lack thereof) to the HHO “threat.”
Remember Cold Fusion? Big oil was scared; there was a chance that we would be able to cut oil consumption by a huge amount. Entrenched automobile interests “knew” they’d lose out to the new power source and the innovative transport designs that would follow. They were frightened as well.
Electrical power generators and any industry that built things with engines were stumbling all over each other to get in on the action. Even governments were dumping research money into cold fusion, on the off-chance that it worked. I was in Salt Lake City at that time, and got to see the Cold Fusion Institute go up with $5 million in state funding. (And only faxes as lab equipment, at that time.)
My question: Where’s the similar response over HHO?
After all, anything that promises up to 40% fuel savings for minimal initial costs should do more than excite consumers; it should strike fear in the oil and auto industries. At least the fear that they might miss out on using their war chests to buy up the technology and bury it or profit from it; greed turned on its head, of course.
Do we see any response at all from these mega-industries? None, really. (Try your own searches.) The only sites and news you can find on the web are written by the HHO folks themselves. Often with an eye to getting you to buy their solution. And no government funding for any HHO Institute has been announced, that I can find.
Why is that, you suppose? I don’t know for sure, but I’ll make a guess: They’ve looked at HHO, and they’re laughing. It’s no threat at all.
You can bet they’ve assessed the available literature and bought and tested systems. It wouldn’t surprise me if they used the HHO videos on YouTube as comic relief in their research centers. You can be sure, though, that they realize there’s no threat there, or they would already have bought the rights and run off with them…
In summary, I believe Big Oil doesn’t see HHO (and similar tries) as any threat, so they’re not buying; and Big Auto likewise doesn’t see HHO as a threat, as they’re not copying it.
