supplemental hydrogen power

Has anyone checked this idea out?
They say that using a jar of water mixed with household baking soda and electricity from your alternator you can add a little bit of hydrogen into your cars air/fuel mixture to help increase gas mileage, supposedly up to 50% (I doubt that much). Id be happy if I got up to 28-32ish mpg from 22ish mpg
Anyways i was thinking of trying it out for fun, since there are a lot of nay-sayers about it and there are those that say its true, and the only way to know for sure is to try it out yourself.
Most of my searching was from googling "supplemental hydrogen". I got myself these plans from Water4Gas. They of course want like 100$ for their online books but I found it for free else-ware

Some of the problems I see with this
contained hydrogen gas + fire = bomb
water + engine = hydrolocked engine
Whole thing a hoax = waste of $ and my time
Then again I only paid 400 for the stupid Subaru and it has 302k miles
So yea, who thinks its real or a scam and who wants the 7.28 zip file on how to make your own?

I would say it wont work, well, correction, it will work, but I doubt it will provide enough to do anything that you would notice.

Mythbusters took on this type of thing some time ago, only the myth was that you could run your car off the hydrogen gas produced. Naturally it was busted.

I say go for it, but dont pay for it

The technology of producing hydrogen through electrolysis has been around for a long, long time. If this simple process worked, it would of been put into production many years ago.

Here check out this link for info on Stan Meyer. Some of this info is very interesting. I do believe he was assassinated because of his invention.
