What do you think about my answer to this E-mail

Hello Richard,

You have received a message from another user!

From: Richard is dumb

Subject: you are dumb

Message: you obviously dont know anything about how cars work or browns gas. maybe you should go back to school and learn math, physics, and chemistry you moron because all the values you posted are completly wrong and if your best excuse is why dont the car companies sell it, then you fail. good job at being one of those internet idiots that put unreliable information on the internet.

My answer

First oft insulting someone won’t win them over to your side.

Second I’ve worked with brown’s gas, car engines, etc probably more then most people you know.

I’ve taken calculus, physics and chemistry as well as computer science. I put myself through college working in a machine shop, as a mechanic, and many other jobs.

Update:

Let’s start with brown’s gas, when converting water into brown’s gas you lose at least 34% of the energy you put in. Sorry there is NOTHING you can do about that. Then you must burn the gas in an engine that at best give you back at best 30% of the energy you put into it back as work. So just in energy you only get back at best 20% of the energy you put into it.

Now it’s claimed that if you use brown’s gas mixed with gasoline you can increase the efficiency of a car engine. The studies that have been done have shown that using hydrogen can increase the efficiency of a car engine, notice that they didn’t use brown’s gas but pure hydrogen and they used much more hydrogen then a HHO generator could every make. They didn’t make the hydrogen using the engine and battery from the car; they added hydrogen from an outside source.

Update 2:

Now for brown’s gas to make the difference that is claim by the people pushing brown’s gas and HHO you would have to increase the efficiency of your engine from anywhere form 3% up to 15% depending on the claims made. I’ve seen claims stating anything from 10% to 50%, and considering HHO has been tested independently and found to have FAILED every time it think it safe to say it’s a con.

Yes I’ve seen this device before, it’s been around a long time, I remember it from the 1970’s.

But if you wish to waste your money go ahead nobody is stopping you. But I have notice that the people pushing HHO or saying how dumb I and other are for not believing in Brown’s gas or HHO, have ever come back with an explanation on how it works, or with independent tests. No they just say how dumb we are or we don’t understand the science.

Update 3:

I see you made up a new user just to insult me, so not only am I going to answer you back, but I’m also going to post your e-mail to me and this answer to your E-mail.

Have a good life.

Sorry I had to split up my answer like that Yahoo doesn't like really long questions

    I think it's a very well-reasoned and scientific response to a childish insult.

    Unfortunately I doubt it will do any good. The person you're talking to is probably either selling this water4gas garbage, in which case he's a scammer and already knows it won't work, or has bought into it, in which case he's a sucker and wants to believe it will work.

    Nevertheless, it was a very good response.

    I agree completely with your logic. Your data sounds very well researched and accurate, which is more that can be said for "research" done on the products these so called "water4gas" folks pedal.

    Unfortunately, I think your email message did nothing. I'm willing to bet these are smart people. They know that the product they sell is rubbish, and they will repeatedly tell you that it's a real "threat" to the big (by big, they mean legitimate) companies. They couple this dishonest business practice with a highly aggressive, spam-slamming internet marketing campaign. People who send these emails out aren't hoping to convince people such as yourself. You know it's crap, you've read about it, done the research. They are hoping other people, those who are more gullible, and like to believe there's some big conspiracy out there and there's a secret easy fix for 200 bucks (or whatever) which will solve all their problems.

    I remember reading someplace that if only one out of every 100,000 spam emails results in a sale, it results in a net gain for the company doing the spamming. That was a few years ago, it probably takes even less nowadays.

    Actually except for a few typos.. your answer is pretty good..

    From my view, if "brown gas" worked one of the auto companies worldwide would have commercialized it -- there is simply too much profit potential for something that purports to save this much energy.

    I have not had that drawback. I probably get approximately two to five of the ones an afternoon, however I have not gotten hundreds of thousands an afternoon like plenty of men and women on right here. I wager I was once one of the crucial fortunate few.
