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%.

There is no doubt you have noticed rising gas prices. Chances are you have been hoping that they would go back down sometime soon. Considering the world’s geopolitical situation, it is highly improbable that petroleum prices will fall. This means that you must either suffer, or become proactive. Amongst the options for saving on energy costs are buying hybrid vehicles or taking public transportation. The problem is that hybrid vehicles are exceedingly expensive, and public transportation is not an option for many of us. So is there another solution? Enter hydrogen generators for cars.

Chances are you are scratching your head wondering what an on board hydrogen generator is, how it could possibly help you save on fuel prices, and where you can buy one.

An on board hydrogen generator is a hydrogen generator that generates hydrogen on demand as opposed to it being stored. Stored hydrogen is relatively dangerous, but generating it as needed decreases the danger associated with long term storage. A hydrogen generator is essentially a small device which generates hydrogen from water via electrolysis, which is installable right beneath your hood.

Hydrogen generators for cars work by running electricity through water and then collecting the released hydrogen and oxygen gas. Then, it feeds this gas into the engine via the air intake, thus allowing you to save on fuel expenditure. The laws of thermodynamic state that any system is inherently inefficient and therefore the amount of energy derived from the oxygen and hydrogen gas has to be less than the amount of energy expended to create it. The secret lies in the fact that the increased fuel efficiency enjoyed by the user of an on board hydrogen generator is due to the presence of hydrogen or oxygen gas itself, rather it is from allowing the engine to run at a more optimum efficiency, extracting more energy from the fuel than is possible without the addition of hydrogen to the fuel mix.

A simplified version of how the on board hydrogen generator works is essentially a water reservoir which holds the water. Within this water is a coil of wire that conducts electricity. Electricity is supplied via the alternator or battery and then tubes are attached to the top of the water reservoir which, in turn leads to the air intake. It is through these tubes that the oxygen and hydrogen mixture is conducted to the engine via the air intake, thus enriching the fuel mixture and changing the internal burn pattern of the cylinders themselves. It is through these optimized burn patterns that more of the energy from the fuel is conserved and extracted, thereby doing useful work instead of leaving with the exhaust.

If you are interested in hydrogen generators for cars, the first step is to get informed. Once your have a basic understanding of how it works and what it takes to build one, there are a number of plans available online which can help you build your own and start saving gas today. Only you can become more efficient and less dependent on foreign oil, so take action today!

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?

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.

In the battle for fuel efficiency, it is widely believed that buying an electric hybrid is the answer. The problem is that the electric hybrid vehicle is not affordable and is beyond the financial means for most people who are hurting at the pump due to skyrocketing energy prices. The question that remains is how the average consumer can save money on gas, without spending a fortune on a hybrid vehicle. The answer lies in a daring new invention call the hydrogen generator. So the only remaining question is how to convert your car to hydrogen power.

First of all, what is hydrogen power, and how can it possibly increase your fuel efficiency? Hydrogen power is deriving propulsive power by utilizing hydrogen as fuel. The fact of the matter is that you cannot get a net gain in energy by burning hydrogen which you are using your engines energy to create. So how can putting an on board hydrogen generator on your vehicle increase fuel efficiency? The answer is in the inefficiency of the average internal combustion engine.

In order to understand the principles behind increasing fuel efficiency by converting your car to run on hydrogen power, you firstly need to realize that the statement is quite misleading. You cannot run your vehicle solely on hydrogen power; rather you are utilizing hydrogen to increase the fuel efficiency of the gasoline or diesel fuel your car’s engine normally utilizes. This increased efficiency comes about by a more complete combustion and improves flame spread within the cylinders, allowing your vehicle to run on a leaner fuel air mixture than is possible without the hydrogen supplementation.

So, now that you have a basic knowledge of how running your vehicle partly on hydrogen can increase your fuel efficiency, how can you go about converting your car to run on hydrogen power? The first step is to become familiar with the numerous methods and techniques available for constructing an on board hydrogen generator. Only once you are well informed can you realistically start considering building a hydrogen conversion kit to install in your own vehicle. The basic components can all be bought in a hardware store. These basic components include a reservoir for water, some basic electrical components, and miscellaneous tubes to conduct the oxygen and hydrogen that is generated.

Thorough and effective plans can be purchased online. In any case, you should invest some time to become informed in regards to the precise components and methods required so that your hydrogen conversion goes smoothly. Knowledge is power, and it is only through the application of knowledge can we become truly free and independent as individuals. The struggle for increased fuel efficiency is no different than any other struggle for a better, more economical life.

Now that you know how to convert your car to hydrogen power, you should search the web for the proper resources. This article only serves as a primer, but the potential is almost limitless. So start looking for a good guide now, and start saving gas by using hydrogen generators!

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.

Craig E asked:


Can you pull the hydrogen and oxygen out of water with a electrolyzer and then burn hydrogen and oxygen in a generator to make electric that would then run the electrolyzer? In doing this could you generate more electric than you need to run the electrolyzer? Making power from water alone. Please before you say that you can’t make more energy than you put in. Please think about what you are doing. The energy you are putting in is only to brake the hydrogen and oxygen out of the water. If hydrogen can be ran in a generator that would use propane and run at the same cu ft/hr as propane you can generate more power than it takes to run the electrolyzer. The oxygen is not even being used at this point and if you could use a generator that could use both the hydrogen and oxygen you could make even more power.
A little bit of info to help 9000w of electricity can produce 70 cu ft/hr of hydrogen. 64 cu ft/hr hydrogen can produce 12500w of power in a normal 4 cyl generator.
