9. mpsp (miles per scrub pad) is not the point

the point of the op was to show that anyone can perform electrolysis for a few bucks. If the electrolysis is performed using renewable energy how much has it cost?

And -I've not tried it, yet- many people report that using supplemental hydrogen increases their mileage. Before people scoff at such a claim, they might want to either try it or do a little more research.

The weed eater in the OP proves that hydrogen can run engines. And that guy claims he produced that gas without electricity.

The internet is filled with armchair/keyboard "experts" that make all kinds of claims without either grasping the concept or doing any independent research for themselves.
