HHO Update: Dennis Lee Out of Business

11/18/2009 12:04 AM

Update: FTC puts Dennis Lee out of business.

It has been a long time coming, but Dennis Lee is now effectively out of the HHO business.* The FTC is continuing to work on further prosecution. Science 1, pseudo science 0. Dutchman is Dennis Lee's company, and is the company which caused our guest Kip significant damage to his car.

There are loads of other HHO scammers out there but Lee was one of the biggest. His HAFC used all the add-ons and widgets to help obscure the fact that none of it works. So no, it didn't work by catalytic effect, it certainly didn't work by fuel replacement, it didn't work by using an efie to "trick" the computer, it didn't work by adding just the right magic solvent. It just plain didn't work, despite using all the tricks that show up here at CR4 as explanations for why the scammer-du-jour device works.

Sadly he is not yet behind bars, so he can continue to promote his other perpetual motion machine, the Sundance generator and Hummingbird motor (search YouTube for all sorts of interesting videos -- some of them absolutely hilarious). But this is good work by the FTC and John Heywood, director of Sloan Automotive Lab at MIT. Testing was done at Compliance and Research Services Inc in New Jersey.

The good news: Justice was done.

The bad news: We'll soon see Dennis Lee posing as a single mom who makes 5K per week working a couple of hours at home for Google.

Hoorah!!! Maybe Sloan Labs MIT would also be interested in receiving some "soon to be released" dyno sheets from that gadgetguy in Phoenix, who is movin' to the groove, oh wait that was in a song, the guy in Phoenix is making a groove in the carb to increase MPG...I have yet to receive copies in my email in box here, and I did say send them to me, just haven't received them yet .

In time truth is known, and the score always ends up science 1, pseudo-sci 0.

Well that's good news but it only covers his latest product the Hydro-Assist Fuel Cell (HAFC) (see numerous previous threads on CR4).

Although his assets have been frozen and his latest scam stopped, this scammer is not yet in jail and free to drum up funds and support for yet another scam.

Also it appears that the Hydro-Assist Fuel Cell which he isn't allowed to claim works may now be being (or soon to be) distributed by another company "Genesis Technology Systems", the reasons, well speculation from the Dennis supporters is the government moved in to squash poor Dennis's invention and he agreed to the injunction to get out of jail time. The website links to Genesis Technology Systems don't exist and Pesn.com is (in my opinion) a less than impartial free energy-promoting website so take with a grain of salt.

No matter the scientific proof and evidence some people just want to believe.

Can we hope that "Walks in Storms" will read this?

One can hope, although his holiness seems far above mere rational thought. Perhaps Gadgetmanglobal, yet another HHO promoter (as well as the promoter of a 25% to 300% fuel efficiency improvement from damaging your throttle body) will read this too.
