Who really knows about the HOSS and whether it will ever make money? Just look at the competition from all over the world, and also what garbage scooters hace come out of China. They are Japan 60 years ago when it comes to serious mechanical stuff.
The issue is the EPA and Hy-whatever.. here is part of an August '12 email from H. Southern, which has been posted here before in full context but then removed.
"....Now then, that having been said, if you truly believe in doing due diligence, perhaps you can ferret out why it is that the EPA apparently is not actively testing hydrogen while the US Dept of Transportation boasts of many successful applications for the enhancement of diesel engines by the use of hydrogen? The two are diametrically opposite on the same points. If you truly investigate hydrogen you will learn that the EPA is presently using test procedures which do not include hydrogen as a variable. If you do indeed talk to the EPA gurus you will also learn that they are not totally opposed to the use, they are just waiting for someone to come along and show WHY it works. They require that you show the science behind any change to their testing procedures. Bob, that takes R&D money, not just that it does. As we are a small company, we must dedicate our R&D dollars where they will do the most good. At the moment that is in further development of a product that can and does save money. "
Even if there were any testing from an outside party, the EPA does not care, and they actually end up taking their cues from the states, like CA, which actually has OKed several HHO units this year. But they come short of recommending them and make no comments on performance improvement. Do the DD and you will see.
