I did a search on ebay and there is a guy selling a couple of E-Books, one on how to convert any car to run off electricity, and another to make a hydrogen generator for any car so you can fill up a tank full of water and have it make hydrogen which runs your cars engine.anybody got any thoughts on these things?
