I just happened to find this kit for the Hummer H2. Really curious since it seems way to good to be true!

Interesting... I have sent them a request for more info and prices on the Goodwin Assist kit. Their biodiesel kit looks interesting also, especially the 850 hp red package.

electric motor driving the alternater...I assume it is poosible, but the 2 year return on investment seems a bit costly.

This makes me skeptical... a bit like snake oil to me; however, would be neat if it works.

I just finally read their "story"... I'm with autumnwalker on this one, seems a little suspect to me.

So I have been working out their theory with another one of my colleagues.
We both agree that there is no way at all that a minor 10Hp boost attached to the alternator would be able to have any net positive benefit for mileage or power. Afterall we are only talking about 10hp not 100hp. A Super Charger adds 100hp and does increase mileage slightly but greatly improves driveability. It is impossible for the simple 10hp motor mounted to the alternator to be able to make such a major improvement.
I am also amazed that after spending $18000 on the upgrade that you would get a 2 year ROI!
I am anxious to hear IF they ever answer you HummerBee!
Most definitely a scam!
