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%.

No one has to be told that the economy is in trouble and that the price of fuel is rising uncontrollably. People are scrambling for ways to save money like working two jobs and they still have no money left on payday. Gasoline was once the substance that represented freedom but now is the bane of our existence. What if there was an alternative fuel that you did not have to wait ten years for? How would it feel to drive on by the gas station and laugh all the way to the bank? If this sounds good to you, then you should consider building a hydrogen fuel generator for your car.

Hydrogen

For quite some time, hydrogen has been considered to be the ideal candidate for alternative fuel. Understanding how it works is as important as understanding how your car uses gasoline. Fuel travels into the combustion chamber in liquid form and mixes with oxygen before it is ignited by sparks from the plugs. Problem number one is that fuel is expensive; problem number two is that not all of the fuel is being used. A certain amount of fuel is evaporated through the exhaust because the ignition does not burn it all.

We can break water down into its base parts, hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen is a gas and when introduced into an internal combustion engine it will burn like gasoline. Therefore reducing the amount of gasoline you will have to purchase. Plus your vehicle may get an immediate explosion of extra power.

How the Generator Works

People all over the country are building their own hydrogen generators for their cars. The great thing is that so can you. To break down water into its constituent parts you have to use a process called electrolysis. Electrolysis is achieved by sending an electrical current through a specially designed piece of metal suspended in water. This causes the water molecules to shear apart and produces pure oxygen and hydrogen.

Hydrogen bubbles then rise into a collection chamber that is connected to the air breather. The hydrogen is then introduced into the combustion chamber where it is ignited. In addition, remember the oxygen required from above? You have produced that as well. Your car is now running on a renewable clean energy source that is produced right under your hood!

Additional Benefit

Users have reported increased power during take off. It has been described as being like giving your vehicle a shot of NOS! Acceleration was also markedly better. There is also an additional benefit that no one expected – the exhaust is steam.

When a car burns gasoline, there are carbon particles that are ****** through the car’s exhaust system. This carbon begins to build in the exhaust and EGR system. Anyone who has owned a car knows that you will be replacing the EGR valve and components after 100,000 miles. These parts can run into hundreds of dollars. The reason they fail is the above-mentioned carbon build up. Everyone knows the best cleaning agent on the planet is steam or hot water. Guess what? You are producing steam with your hydrogen generator and it is flowing straight through your EGR and exhaust.

A hydrogen fuel generator will provide you with clean renewable energy produced under your hood that will assist you in preventative maintenance for your car. What in the world, are you waiting for?

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.

Hydrogen car kit empowers your car to run on water and avoid oil as fuel. A vehicle however will not be able to run on water alone. There needs to be a mixture of gasoline and water to enable it to run smoothly. There are many advantages of using a car powered by water and gas. It not only reduces toxic emissions by a significant margin, it also increases mileage and improves the performance and the life of the engine. Water is a much more pure fuel than oil and it will result in lesser harm to the vehicle which would in turn ensure that it performs well and lasts long.

People are increasingly switching over to hydrogen technology for their vehicles. One of the main reasons for such a move is the steep rise in prices of oil. With such escalating costs it has become difficult for some people to maintain cars. A hydrogen powered car on the other hand requires little oil and will help the people to save fuel costs. With the system in place with the help of Hydrogen car kit, brown gas would be produced from water during electrolysis. This is used to produce energy. When it comes into contact with gasoline it gives good mileage to the vehicle.

It is very easy to empower your car using the Hydrogen car kit. There are machines that are available with some companies but those are priced very high. The technology can however be installed with simple tools that are readily available. You would need an automotive fuse, a container, electrical wiring, baking soda and a few other parts. All this can be assembled in your car for not more than $170. You can get the instructions in the internet. You will be taught step-by-step how to incorporate the modifications in your car.

Scott asked:


When filling a confined space with just hydrogen and oxygen gas, and then igniting the gasses, what is the optimal ratio of hydrogen to oxygen to release the most energy?
Also, what happens if you change the ratio? Do other ratios change the time, temperature, energy, etc. of the explosion?

KnottedBrain asked:


The byproduct of hydrogen is water, right? Water is H2O and can be processed again to make hydrogen gas, can’t it? I guess this follows the law of conservation of energy, except with hydrogen it’s simpler?
