Big surprise. I hope you didn't send him too much money to be one of the 'testers'. Water and baking soda? That's a good one! HHO generators were debunked long ago. Oh well, the gullible will always be around.

No, you're confusing this guy with the scammers, he isn't after anybodies money, he's out to prove it can be done, and he has a pretty good track record too. His first version went 10k, second went 25k, last went 50k, so he's going in the right direction.
If he was after money, he WOULD have a fancy website and be selling plans or some such...
The dozen or so alternative energy projects that I'm involved in are all genuine. None are soliciting money, or doing press releases, they're still off the radar, but it is a fascinating group of inventors/innovators.
I kind of got involved with them by accident, I was back east, doing computer security work for a big insurance company, about 7-8 years ago, and I pulled up some strange looking plans off one of the computers. They belonged to the comptroller, who turned out to be an alternative energy inventor. Since it was something I was interested in, and they needed a programmer, they invited me in.
One of these projects is actually in beta testing, being sold at cost, to the first 100 off grid cabins, it's a power plant. From all reports so far, it's a home run. Full 24/7 60amp service, with almost zero operating costs. They're still working on improving it and shrinking its size to make it portable too.
Two or maybe three of the car projects look promising, several home heating/cooling and toilet systems look good too. Several others I don't know enough about to even render an opinion, one has something to do with satellites, another is about growing 40-50 foot shade trees in a year, and a few have to do with plants/food/fruit production.
It's quite an interesting group of people, and the fact that they're not just in it for the money is refreshing.
This same group of people came up with the auto-parking cars, and the anti-collision/auto braking for cars too. Like Google, they're working on self driving cars too, and call your car on your cellphone and it will come and pick you up or drop you off then go park itself.
It's truly a great time to be alive.

It then got more like 11mpg. I swapped out the coolant thermostat for a Chrysler OEM 195 degree unit, tested it, (cracks open at 195 and is fully open at 205 then closes at 193, where as the old aftermarket one cracked at 190, and fully opened at 200, then closed at 185) and viola! Now the van gets 15/16.

That's pretty impressive, you wouldn't think a few degrees wold make that much of a difference...
