G'day edmonds_3,
This is not quite true, almost but not quite. With a petrol engined vehicle you have to have ignition which draws its power from the battery during starting and from the alternato ...

After reaching 300km and more than 10 electric starts I decided to charge up the battery. It was still going strong and had no trouble starting the car.

I love having a simple car.

Doesn't really matter how much energy the hydrogen can produce, or how energy dense it is or whatever. The simple fact is that you are splitting water to hydrogen and oxygen and then burning it to fo ...

No, its the last few years that it has become a big issue and has been publicised. From : A model A ford (from 1927-1931) weighs around 1t (same as a small car), has a 3.3L engine and uses around ...

The extra oxygen may help, but only if your car isn't tuned properly. If the fuel and hydrogen are both burning completely (which they should be if you are getting the right fuel-air ratio) then it s ...

ok, thanks for the explanation and info.

I think it would be good if there was some place to put it in the Lada section rather than the classifieds, so more people would look at it.

Oh ok, I sort of thought about putting it in classifieds, then thought that it probably had much more chance of being seen here, as I have never even looked in the classifieds before. Just looking no ...

I put a post up a couple of days ago about selling/wrecking my Niva, what happened to it? Why don't I get an explanation, even a PM saying why it was removed? I thought it would be a common courtesy ...

As stated earlier, the only way this can work is if you get more power from burning the hydrogen and oxygen together with the fuel than you get from burning them separately. ie. If they somehow burn ...

Slightly more accurate than "I got 28mpg last January and 34 mpg last week".

FWIW I agree with Gadgetboy (and everyone else who thinks this stuff is a scam) on everything they have said so far.

I have a Niva that I am breaking for parts, I have a spare wheel (although I don't know what size), but the box might already have been sold. PM Sent.

Hi all,

I am thinking of wrecking an 89 Niva, if you need any parts, let me know and I will see what I can do. I would rather not post parts, but if you really want me to I might be able to. If y ...

The mounting holes have snapped off the casing and the oil has leaked out. I think the internals are ok, but I need at least a new casing for it.

I am looking for a niva steering box (RHD) because mine is broken. Can anyone help me out? I have tried the wreckers, but they want $480, when the car only cost $700 Evil or Very Mad

I would prefer one i ...

I just floor it and hope for the best ... seems to work Smile

Ha ha, you haven't seen me in action have you? That is exactly what I have been doing. I have only been out a few times, and so far I ha ...

Hi all, I'm new to the forums. Anyway, I am also very interested in lifting my Lada by a fair bit because I do some pretty extreme 4wding. I am very interested in getting a lift because I want to ma ...
