Re: Stirling Engine!

Those wonderful guys on Mythbusters did the experiments with the H2 electrolyzer (and other high mileage apparatus) and their results were an actual decrease in mileage and a pretty big boom when they introduced straight H2 from a bottle. They had reasoned that the decrease in mileage was due to the fact that not enough H2 was being produced, so they, in typical Mythbuster fashion, "ramped up" the dose!

Great segment. They did a good job busting the high mileage myths...
