Hydrogen Hybrid Technologies Inc (HYHY)

[PaperProphet]

I've been bumping into you everywhere lately. Hopefully you didn't buy into this stock.

The basic concept is that their product injects a small amount of hydrogen into the cylinder along with the gasoline vapor. The theory is that the hydrogen burns faster and wicks the flame through the cylinder faster than gasoline alone would burn. That would make a cleaner 'pop' on the power stroke of the cylinder, allowing for better and more efficient engine performance.

The good news: The theory appears sound and does work. The bad news: It takes a non-trivial amount of energy to produce that hydrogen and any increase in efficiency will surely be drained by the power needed to produce that hydrogen. It's likely a wash at best and at worst, the 'technology' makes efficiency worse. This technology has been around since at least the 70's and finds a revival every so often. No doubt HYHY knows this but the story makes great fodder for selling stock.
