I'll have to try to find the article. I have not seen this yet. Do you have a link to the article?

It looks like a booster to me. If he spent 7.5 mil then it must have been on platnum electrodes & electronics combined with trial & error. I could only read the first page because I'm on my way to work. I'll read the rest when I get home.

Yeah, it's an interesting article for information about this type of thing (non-technical). I was somewhat interested in the different companies and competition, etc. I read the whole thing through, and it's definitely nothing better than a booster. Maybe it's a high-efficiency one. No idea why it would cost so much, LoL Unless he paid a whole bunch of people with letters after their names to do R&D for it. LoL

Oh well, yeah it still uses gas, and only saves a similar amount to what some of our boosters seem to be pulling.

Well, no wonder he spent 7.5 mil, he built a company with R&D and everything. Quoted from the article...
"Wardrop liked the invention so much the company wants to become an equity partner in Williams's company, Innovative Hydrogen Solutions, said Richard Scheps, Wardrop's product development manager and a co-owner of the engineering firm, which employs 600 people.".
He's bringing it to market. For $7500.00 a piece they better be made of platinum. Even if it's CAD it's a lot of coin. There aren't any stats on how much it produces & the last page they talk about test runs that lower gas mileage. Dude build your own, you're better off. Besides for that kind of cash you could probably buy a PEM electrolyzer & eliminate the need for highly caustic electrolytes.
