Lightbulb Evaporating Canister??

When I purchased my car a couple weeks ago, I had the local used dealer put it up on the rack for me since he sold me a totaled GT a month b4 swapping for my black one. While I was looking under the undercariage I found a 4"x12"(roughly) canister that was moded into what looked like an evaporating canister, it had a reducing 90 on one end and a 1/4" hose coming off the other end not connected at either side and the person that installed it put two long bolts in it and had a small piece of glass wrapped with wire wrapping around the two bolts and glass on the inside of it and the top of the bolts on the outside I guess you could call the top had a positive and a negative wire off of each side runin to a toggle switch that could be turned on inside the cab of the car.....

Any Ideas on why and what this could've been used for? The car originally came out of Dallas, Tx. Thanks Fellas!!!

It sounds like a HHO (oxyhydrogen, "Brown's gas") generator.



It's part of a silly crock of crap belief that adding minute quantities of hydrogen into the intake air will miraculously increase fuel economy...

Wow at least that looks like a professional setup and not some back yard **** like that had on there. But that has to be it bc the T that's in the picture is still in the short ram intake arm. That's crazy!!!
