This fuel cell was advertised in the January 21 issue of US News and World Report magazine on page 35. They claim to be developing a Pre-ignition Catalytic Converter that can be purchased when available, but right now you can purchase the Hydro-Assist Fuel Cell Kit for $1,065 and they absolutely gurantee to increase fuel economy by a minimum of 50% with this universal kit. They claim that it works on almost any vehicle; car, SUV or truck as long as it is powered by gasoline.
I went to their website and requested a quote for my two vehicles. They responded with an email immediately stating that I would be contacted by a Mr. Viktor Pavenko of World Wide Tech Inc of Portland, Oregon. They provided his email address at Yahoo.com, but no telephone number and only a PO box address. The next day, I received a quote for the HAFC Kit and it was only $1,045 plus $20 for S&H.
I sent this information to my son who teaches at a west coast university. He shared the information with a professor of mechanical engineering. That professor said the ad's claim of 50% increased fuel economy was not possible. After reviewing their website, he said it looked like a scam.
