So, you’ve seen posts on your favorite web forum or blog about this hydrogen power thing; you’ve watched the videos on YouTube; at this point you’re curious, but skeptical – great! That’s exactly where you should be. But now you’ve made your way here to More M.P.G. Plus™, and we are going to remove any last bit of doubt. By the time you’re done reading, you will know the truth: that you, too, can save hundreds of dollars, by installing our simple HHO Generator kit in your car or truck. People across the globe are discovering the power of hydrogen, and seeing benefits of 10%, 20%, 30%, even 50% increases in fuel efficiency!
RUN YOUR CAR ON WATER? Isn’t that just science fiction?
Not any more! By putting a hydrogen generator in your vehicle, you can SAVE hundreds of dollars a year in gasoline! Keep reading to learn how to avoid the next outrageous hike in gas prices…
Join the growing number of people who drive with confidence, knowing that you have the newest hybrid technology available today, while cleaning your engine inside, cutting emissions outside, AN
When your engine is running, the fuel cell produces hydrogen and oxygen (called HHO, or Brown’s gas) “on demand”. The HHO gas is injected into your vehicle’s air intake system, making its way to the cylinders to mix with the air and gasoline vapor already present. When the spark plug fires, the HHO ignites along with the fuel, causing the fuel to burn faster – and producing nothing but water vapor in the exhaust! By accelerating the fuel-air burn, the hydrogen causes your car to burn the gasoline more completely, increasing your overall fuel efficiency. By producing nothing but water vapor in the exhaust, there is no additional risk to the environment.
Q.: Isn’t hydrogen dangerous? How can you contain it safely? A.: The Generator only produces Brown’s gas on demand, when the engine is running. No hydrogen is actually stored, so there are no safety issues like those involved with the storage of hydrogen under pressure. This is not pure hydrogen but HHO, so provided you install the system properly, use the same precautions around the system you would use around gasoline or any other flammable substance, and properly maintain the system, you should have no problems. Q.: What about conservation of energy? How can you claim to get more energy from the system (in terms of fuel efficiency), when you need to expend energy producing hydrogen? A.: The system doesn’t actually generate more energy, or power, than what is put in. But what it does, is increase the efficiency of the system overall. Your engine won’t become more powerful – but it will be more fuel-efficient.
Simple math for those who want to know: The best internal combustion engine is 18% efficient, 20% on a good day. The process of brute force electrolysis today has been pushed to about 85% Faraday. Note: Based on the caloric energy available from burning hydrogen, by using Faraday’s “Law” to translate from electrical energy it is estimated that 100% efficient hydrogen electrolysis is achieved by creating somewhere between 5.5-7.5 milliliters of gas per minute per watt of energy consumed. Members of our research group have run the numbers several ways which all seem to point to around 7.0 m/m/w. Many of our cells have operated as high as 6mmw or roughly 85% efficient The product of electrolysis is HHO which has it’s own energy value, up to 85% of what we put in.
If all we considered was the return of energy value when we inject the HHO as a supplement to gasoline, then yes; Conservation of energy applies.
HOWEVER!
HHO as an additive does more than return 85% of the energy we put in to create it. It’s properties enhance the slow burning gasoline, speeding up the rate of combustion, causing much more of the total combustion process to be translated into mechanical energy rather than being lost as waste heat out the tail pipe, raising the efficiency of the total system. Returning to the simple math…
Let’s say we’re able to translate just 10% more of the total system energy to mechanical energy. We have still not violated conservation of energy, only raised the total system efficiency to 28%. But that’s an increase of 55%!!! Now deduct the energy loss of 15% to create the HHO that made this possible and you still end up with a total net gain of 40%!
This is not rocket science – it’s simple math, and it works. The reality is, some are getting even more: up to 35% mechanical efficiency, 94% gain, -15% to create the HHO, 79% total net gain. That’s 54 MPG on a car that started out at 30. People are doing this. It is working. The move is on and there is no stopping it.
Questions About HHO Production
Distilled water alone will not conduct electricity sufficiently for electrolysis at automobile voltages, impurities in tap water and other natural sources are responsible for making water conductive. In order to perform electrolysis, we use distilled water to keep our cells clean from contaminants that will eventually dirty up or damage our cell and reduce production, they may also generate unwanted by-products. The use of a suitable catalyst allows our distilled water to conduct electricity.
The following catalysts are more commonly used, please note that this is not a list of the best catalysts, merely those that are generally used. To follow is a discussion on the suitability of each.
Salt:
This is a bad catalyst to use, it will facilitate a reaction but will produce chlorine gas as a by-product. Salt will also cause damage to your electrodes over time. Chlorine gas can kill you, please avoid using salt or baking soda.
Baking Soda:
Baking Soda will create carbon monoxide and dioxide gas and damage your electrodes eventually. This stuff can kill you. Please avoid baking soda.
Potassium Hydroxide:
Potassium Hydroxide, or KOH to use the chemical name, is by far one of the best catalysts for electrolysis. KOH remains neutral in electrolysis in that it is not consumed by the process, in other words, as your electrolyte level goes down all you will need to do is add more distilled water.
Be very careful with Potassium Hydroxide, it will burn if it gets onto your skin. Always keep some vinegar around as a rinsing agent, should you spill any on your skin.
The safest way to use KOH is to collect a small amount of your distilled water in a glass beaker or jar, and then add the KOH to the water. DO NOT do this the other way around and add the water to the KOH! After you have added your KOH to your draw-off of water, pour the water back into the generator. This method will aid the dispersal of the catalyst around your electrolyte.
Sodium Hydroxide:
Sodium Hydroxide, or NaOH to use the chemical name, is another decent and popular catalyst, commonly used in drain cleaner. Some drain cleaners state 100% Sodium Hydroxide on the container and are suitable to use as a source of this catalyst. You should handle and add the NaOH in the same manner as KOH. NaOH can be more difficult to dissolve, this can be eased by adding it to hot distilled water.
Sodium Hydroxide, like KOH, will not used up by the reaction so will need to be topped off.
Vinegar:
Distilled White Vinegar may be used as an electrolyte solution on its own, it contains generally about 95% distilled water. In use it will require stronger cell voltages to provide high production and will break down, leaving a residue which must be cleaned out of your cell periodically.
Conclusions
From my own experiences, and those of others, I would recommend using Potassium Hydroxide as your catalyst. It is commonly used in the making of soap and can be obtained from cosmetic suppliers. KOH is also referred to as “Potash”.
For Cold Weather
From my own experience and others I would recommend using HEET, in the yellow bottle, adding a small amount to your KOH , water mix and it will not freeze. The alternative that also works is to use -30 degree windshield washer solution. I think the washer solvent is the same thing as you make adding HEET to distilled water. When temperatures here in Minnesota got below -20 degrees I simply left my system turned off. I also covered my radiator to ensure my engine temperature got up to and stayed around 200 degrees. Anything under 190 degrees would drive my MPG down at least 30%.

Hydrogen is the simplest element on earth. Each small particle of an element of hydrogen has merely a single proton. It is a chief abundant gas in the world. Stars mainly consist of hydrogen. Basically, the sun is a massive sphere of helium and hydrogen gases. In the core of the sun, the atoms of hydrogen mingle to generate helium atoms. This gives off bright energy termed as ‘fusion’. The energy in turn maintains several lives on earth. It aids in cultivation of plants and provides people with light. It also facilitates rain and the blowing of wind. Hydrogen is stored in chemical energy form in the fossil types of fuels. The majority of energy used presently by people originated from the radiant energy of the sun.
A hydrogen car is a car that utilizes hydrogen as its fuel for the motive power. The terminology might refer to an individual car exclusively for transport purpose. These include automobiles and any the other cars that utilize hydrogen the same way like aircrafts. Power plants of these vehicles alter hydrogen chemical energy to mechanical energy. The methods used in the alteration process are; fuel-cell combustion and hydrogen internal combustion. In fuel-cell combustion, oxygen is combined with hydrogen to create electricity and water. The electricity is in turn used in powering electric traction motors. In the process involving combustion of hydrogen, the hydrogen is ignited in the engines basically using the same technique as the convectional ignition engine cars.
Presently, 9,000,000 metric tonnes of the hydrogen are manufactured in America. This is an adequate amount to power 30,000,000 vehicles and 8,000,000 homes. Most of the hydrogen is produced in only three states, namely: Louisiana, Texas and California. The produced hydrogen is utilized by the industry in treating metals, processing foods and refining. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has been the main user of hydrogen in place of energy fuel. Presently, there are 500 cars in America fueled by hydrogen, especially in California. Most cars include automobiles and buses, which are powered by the electric motors. They are able to store liquid and even hydrogen gas on board and change hydrogen to electricity specifically for vehicles using fuel cells. However, only limited car types burn hydrogen directly, generating very little pollution. Owing to the outlay of producing the fuel cells, current fuel cost for the cell cars significantly go beyond that of the conventional cars in most countries. This has made the hydrogen cars move to the roads from the laboratory.
Hydrogen has huge potential as the environmentally hygienic fuel plus means of reducing dependence on energy sources that are imported. Before performing a superior energy responsibility and grow to be an extensively used substitute of gasoline, a number of upcoming systems and facilities should be built. Manufacturers will require facilities for making hydrogen, storing it, and transporting it. They will also require inexpensive fuel cells. Users will in turn require the necessary expertise, education and information so as to use it safely.

Business executives in other major oil and automobile companies scrambled to create crash programs to drastically reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and fit into the plan. The plan was to accelerate breakthroughs in how homes and businesses used energy, and how automobiles were powered. Within the next few weeks there will be some companies offering business opportunities in this new, exciting and profitable field of hydrogen conversion kits for cars and trucks.
Fuel cells are very high efficiencies in converting chemical energy to electrical energy since they not constrained by the maximum Carnot cycle efficiency as combustion engines are. Hydrogen cars use a chemical reaction rather than a burning process for motive power Conventional cars burn fossil fuel and Hybrid Cars use smaller amounts of the same fuel to charge their batteries. Using hydrogen as a supplemental fuel like use in hydrogen for cars concept is a safe and sound and efficient alternative that’s offered right now. General Motors will also continue to invest in hydrogen fuel cell technology, which — when commercially deployed — will reduce automobile emissions to non-polluting water vapor.
Hydrogen cars do however; have the potential to be better cars than Hybrid Cars in several ways so we need to compare their known characteristics. Hydrogen fuel burns both hotter and faster than fossil based fuel and is therefore much more efficient. Hydrogen car fuel is not just a subject for exploring new energy horizons it opens up new possibilities in our mode of travel. Hydrogen fuel generates lower engine operating temperature and there is no emission of hazardous fumes by its use. Hydrogen fuel cells attract more attention because hydrogen is supposed to be pollution free. Hydrogen fuel cell cars, water power cars, whatever you call them it all comes down to the same thing and that’s cheap clean fuel.
Hydrogen for cars is not a new concept, in fact it has been around for a long time, but due to pressure from the big oil companies it has been suppressed and kept out of the public eye. The hydrogen for cars is later used by the fuel cell to transform its chemical energy into electric and mechanic energy to drive the car. In the past people have been reluctant to use hydrogen technology, but now because of the unstable oil and gasoline prices and the poor state of the economy it seems that everyone is looking for alternative energy and cheaper fuels, and hydrogen for cars is gaining in popularity as a way to cut the high cost of motoring.

Did you know that almost anyone can build their own water fuel cells (otherwise known as hydrogen generators) and buy the parts locally for less than $65? What is a hydrogen generator? It’s a gizmo that will make you car burn water and cut your gas bill in half. Sounds amazing? If you can learn to build hydrogen generators, you can stop worrying about the price of gas and focus on other things to spend your money on. Wouldn’t that be nice? You will need a good set of plans and about half a day to build and install a hydrogen generator but the rewards are well worth it.
The high price of gas has many people wondering what they are going to do in the coming months or even years. You should do something now to get your car to use less fuel. This is a very effective way to save money while helping the environment. Get your car converted to burn less fuel and be a step ahead of the crowd. It’s not hard to do, and the parts can be easily bought for a weekend project.
Water is full of energy. What you have to do is harness that energy. Water has to be broken down into its basic elements for this theory to work. The basic elements of water are hydrogen and oxygen. Pure hydrogen will power your car, but it is very expensive to mass produce and you don’t necessarily need it to power your car.
Yull Brown discovered a substance called brown’s gas, commonly known as HHO. This process separates water into two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. This is done by using a small amount of electricity from your car battery. This mix is then injected into your engine and is combined with the gas you already use which results in a 35% increase in fuel efficiency and performance as soon as it is installed. This process is referred to as electrolysis.
Your car only burns a portion of the fuel that is pumped into it; some of it evaporates, and even more either escapes through the tailpipe or is burnt by the cataleptic converter, which was designed to help prevent pollution. It is estimated that around 80% of your fuel is wasted through your exhaust system. If you can learn to how to build a hydrogen generator for your car, you can help stop this waste and buy less gas at the pump and also improve your car’s performance.
Building water fuel cells for cars is not as difficult as some people think, especially when you have the plans to do it with. Learn how to get the energy you need from water and stop padding the pockets of the big oil companies. Almost anyone can build one of these and install it in their car. Remember, the parts are easy to find and can be bought at most hardware stores. Building water fuel cells is a quick procedure that should only take several hours. Learn how to build a hydrogen generator for you car before it’s too late.

The largest blockade to hydrogen cars is no longer the technology. Sure, it isn’t 100 percent perfect yet, but advancements are being made steadily that should see hydrogen become a perfectly viable alternative to gasoline in the next few years. Rather, the problem is infrastructure, and therefore dollars and cents from a business perspective.
Since a hydrogen car requires hydrogen refueling stations, just like a gasoline- or diesel-powered vehicle does, the introduction of these clean-burning machines much be accompanied by the introduction of hydrogen filling stations; and vice versa. This reality has led to a number of pairings between manufacturers and oil companies, the latest of which is a new strategic partnership between BMW and European petroleum giant TOTAL.
It isn’t exactly a new pairing, as BMW and TOTAL have both been working with one another in Berlin on the practical testing of hydrogen as a source of energy. TOTAL itself opened a public gas station that incorporated both gasoline and hydrogen in March of this year, which takes the place of the pilot test station that had been operating in Berlin since 2002. Before the end of this year, TOTAL will finish construction on another hydrogen station in Munich near the BMW testing grounds, with a third station at an undecided location to come later.
As a leading company in processing and marketing petroleum products in Europe, TOTAL also wishes to play a leading role in the industrial and technical development of hydrogen as a fuel. As a source of energy and from the perspective of environmental care, hydrogen offers clear benefits already proven and substantiated in practice, emphasizes Michel Bzit, TOTALs Director General for Refinery Operations and Marketing.
The other half of this dynamic duo; BMW, isn’t resting on its laurels either. After years of testing a fleet of hydrogen-powered MINIs and 7-Series sedans, Professor Burkhard Gaschel, a board member at BMW AG claims that in less than two years BMW will debut a production-ready hydrogen-powered 7-series. That’s somewhat behind other manufacturers, such as Ford, which introduced a hydrogen-powered Ford Focus last year and has since distributed them in small quantities to municipalities around the USA and Canada.
Even farther ahead is German competitor Mercedes-Benz which recently celebrated its hydrogen test fleet of more than 100 cars passing the cumulative two million kilometer milestone. The vehicles, which are a varied array of hydrogen powered Europe-only A-class passenger cars, buses, and Sprinter cargo vans make up the largest real-life test of hydrogen fueled vehicles in the world, and Mercedes is looking to expand that even further by taking more hydrogen test cars to Japan, Australia, China, America, and Singapore for everyday use.
Our world-wide fleet trial is running at full steam, and after two million kilometers covered, we are gaining valuable results and findings for the further development of the emission-free fuel cell powertrain, said Prof. Dr. Herbert Kohler, Vice President Group Research and Advanced Engineering Vehicle and Powertrain and DaimlerChrysler Chief Environmental Officer.
Conversely, the third German luxury car manufacturer, Audi, seems to be lagging behind, with no news or rumours of a hydrogen test fleet or potential hydrogen cars since showing its A2H2 Fuel Cell Concept car at the World Environment Day in San Francisco during the summer of last year.

If you are one of the many people who are looking to make some savings on gasoline, or are trying to find ways to increase gas mileage, then you have probably heard talk of hydrogen for cars and ways to build your own hydrogen generator car. And if you are anything like me, you probably thought that it all sounded ridiculous and a bit Sci Fi.
I first heard about hydrogen for cars a few months ago, and even though I was very sceptical about the whole thing I was so desperate to find ways to increase gas mileage for my car that I decided to do some research. Not only did I find out that building a hydrogen generator car is quite simple, I also found that you can actually buy “hydrogen car kits” with all the equipment needed to covert ordinary cars into hydrogen fuel cars.
Not only are there hydrogen car kits available on the market but you can also buy complete instruction manuals and guides that will show you step-by-step how to build your own hydrogen generator car. With simple parts that you can buy at your local garage or auto store and just some basic mechanical knowledge, it is possible for anyone to turn their cars into hydrogen fuel cars.
So how does a hydrogen generator car work?
In very simple terms these hydrogen fuel cars consist of a small container or vessel of water located under the hood of you car, added to this is a catalyst such as baking soda, and some stainless steel plates. These parts together with a few others are then wired up to your cars battery, which provides the electrical energy needed to power the whole thing.
Once all of this is installed in the correct way and is up and running it is possible to extract Hydrogen Oxygen (HHO) from the water with the use of electrolysis (a process where electricity is used to change water into HHO). This hydrogen gas is then taken into the airflow of the inlet manifold of your car; here it is mixed with the regular gasoline from your fuel tank and burnt in your engine in the usual manner.
As this mixture of gasoline and HHO burns a lot more efficiently and smoothly, it greatly improves your engine performance so giving you better fuel economy. In some cases a report of a 50% increase in MPG has been achieved. It has also been claimed that you get amore powerful response from your engine as well as a smoother ride.
It would seem that building your own hydrogen generator car is not only fairly simple, it is also very affordable. With all the parts needed available at your local garage for $100 or less, and with a host of instructional guides to show you exactly how to go about it, hydrogen fuel cars are definitely the way ahead for anyone looking for ways to increase gas mileage. So why not check it out for yourself, all it takes is a bit of research.

Gasoline comes from a natural resource that might be renewable, but not during our lifetimes. With this in mind and the ever increasing cost for oil added into the mix, the need for alternative fuel sources is quite evident to many.
There are other options out there, but not all are being as aggressively explored as they perhaps should be. The hydrogen car, however, is one possibility that’s on the horizon that might serve as a viable alternative.
Unlike a hybrid car or an electric one, many hydrogen car prototypes operate on a similar principle to the gasoline combustion engine of today. Hydrogen stations would take over gas stations if this means of transportation developed.
The advantages to hydrogen are many, including its easier to obtain nature and its cleaner burning ability. However, since this is still in development, the costs can be high and fuel sources scarce.
Although it might sound like a science fiction solution to a real problem, the hydrogen car is a viable option that’s being explored by a number of major carmakers. In fact, hydrogen cars have been under development by major automakers and even some experimental ones for a very long time.
Colorado-based Hypercar, for example, has a functional model and some of the big carmakers like Ford, Mazda, BMW and Chrysler are also working in this vein.
Hydrogen cars are different from their gas-guzzling cousins in a number of ways. Rather than rely on the burning of gasoline to power a car, hydrogen vehicles use hydrogen, which is a renewable resource, to power the engine.
There are two basic ways to derive power from this method – fuel cell and combustion.
Combustion works pretty much like a gasoline engine does. The hydrogen is “burned” to power the vehicle and make it work correctly.
The hydrogen provides a cleaner burn that gasoline and it’s much easier to come by since it’s a natural gas that can be extracted from water and even methane, which of course is produced during the decomposition process of organic compounds.
Fuel-cell operation involves the use of a battery. The hydrogen powers the battery when it is turned into electricity through the fuel cells. This method is also much cleaner for the environment, but would require a lot of rethinking of how cars are made.
In addition to the fact hydrogen is easy to produce – it can come from methane gas or water – it is also much cleaner. Both methods of powering a car only create water as a byproduct.
When the byproducts of gasoline combustion are considered, hydrogen is a much smarter route for not only the environment, but also for people. The emissions from cars have been linked to everything from smog to global warming and the rise of asthma.
Cleaner burning, more renewable and easier on the environment, hydrogen powered cars are becoming more of a reality as time goes by. For whatever reason their development has been slow and their adoption is probably a long way away, but these cars are certainly worth some serious exploration.

Due to the present oil crisis and the ever spiralling cost of gas, you have probably heard a lot of talk about Hydrogen Car Kits and how to run a car on water. When I first heard about these so called fuel saving devices, and the seemingly fantastic ways to make gas mileage improvements I must admit I was very sceptical, after all “cars that run on water” come on.
But after doing a lot of research and some surfing on the internet I began to realize that this whole “hydrogen generator for car” thing was not as fantastic as it first seemed. Now the first question that comes to your mind when thinking about how to run a car on water is just how could it be done, and where do these hydrogen car kits come in? Well read on and I will try to explain.
The whole concept of cars that run on water obviously sounds impossible; until you realize that you are not replacing the regular gasoline in your fuel tank with water and running your car on water alone. (That would be impossible). What really happens is that these hydrogen car kits use electrolysis to change a small amount of water into hydrogen and oxygen (HHO) a highly inflammable gas.
This electrolysis is a process where electricity is used to change a small amount of water into HHO or brown’s gas. As water is made of both hydrogen and oxygen the 2 hydrogen atoms get separated from the oxygen atom, basically converting the water into 2 flammable gases. The electricity needed for this is supplied by your cars battery.
This gas is then taken into the airflow on the intake manifold of your car where it is mixed with the regular gasoline from your fuel tank. The result is a very fine hydrogen enhanced mixture that burns much more thoroughly and efficiently. This in turn leads to better combustion, lower exhaust emissions, and great gas mileage improvements.
Now the next question I hear you ask is, are these hydrogen car kits expensive? Well the simple answer is NO. As I said I have been doing a lot of research and I have found several of these kits available for $150 or less. There are also complete guides that show you how to make your own hydrogen generator for car by using simple parts available from your local garage or auto shop. And you don’t have to be a mechanic to put it together, anyone with basic skills can do it, it’s that easy.
Also due to the versatility of these hydrogen car kits they can be used on almost any make or model of vehicle, not just cars but trucks and SUVs as well. Once it is constructed it fits neatly under your hood taking up very little space. And they are completely reversible if you ever wanted to remove it. So if you want to make some real gas mileage improvements to your car, you can, because you now know how to run a car on water.

Can you make you own hydrogen car? Hydrogen cars are the answer that many hope will answer the growing fuel crisis in America. Most people think of hydrogen cars as being a really expensive new innovation that’s going to revolutionize the auto industry, but what most motorists need is a hydrogen generator, or an HHO. These are easy to build and install in your vehicle, thus allowing you to make you own hydrogen car. There are some hydrogen generator kits that are expensive, but you don’t need a particularly expensive kit to work with. Hydrogen generators offer a lot of benefit to your car’s performance and the surrounding environment.
HHO gets its name from the chemical compound for water, H2O. This is how a hydrogen generator really works. The kits use a process that was invented by a man called Yull Brown. The process, called electrolysis, works by using an electric current to split apart the molecules of water into their hydrogen and oxygen atoms to create the two individual gases. What happens next is that these gases are then sent through the air that’s already being pumped into your car’s engine through the air pump, adding to the fumes that are being burned in order to produce the heat needed to work the engine. In other words, if you switch partially to an HHO kit, you’re actually partially fuelling your car with water. Now, because of how much storage extra water tanks take, and how much weight it adds to the car’s total, you can’t switch completely to this method, but you can get a good boost in your performance and mileage – sometimes up to 50% in gas mileage. This means that you pay half as much at the pump, if that.
There are other benefits to using an HHO generator. For one, you can make your engine more efficient, because when you burn gasoline, residue builds up in the engine and causes it to become more inefficient over time. Water vapor leaves no such residue. Also, hydrogen and oxygen are two elements that naturally occur in the atmosphere, unlike carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, which is what normal car exhaust is. Another benefit is that you may qualify for tax credits from the IRS. The government is currently encouraging green initiatives with fuel and other lifestyle elements, so they’re offering incentives such as tax credits to people who decide to pursue green options.
Anybody with a basic knowledge of cars and mechanical tools can build and install an HHO generator from a hydrogen generator kit. In fact, you can make your own, though it’s better to have one with a condenser. All you need is a container with distilled water, electrical wire, rubber hose and baking soda. These kits can be removed from your car just as easily as they’re added, with no danger to your warranty.
You too can make you own hydrogen car. Hydrogen generators have plenty of benefits to the environment, your car, and also your wallet, because you’re cutting down on both emissions and what you have to pay for at the pump. There are plenty of guides available online on how to build a hydrogen generator with the materials listed above, and they’re inexpensive to obtain.

Jack Stone asked: The round trip is a net loss isn’t it? We use electricity to convert H2O into H and O.
Then in a hydrogen fuel cell car, we RE-convert the H and O back into H2O again.
So it is a round trip.
But since every mechanical device LOSES energy through friction and heat and waste, the round trip from H2O to H & O and back to H2O LOSES energy.
Isn’t this right? So how will a hydrogen economy run the country or replace oil-burning cars?
