HHO Market

The price of gas is becoming exorbitant. The price of oil is reaching an all time high and motorists are paying the price. The increase in gas prices comes at a time of great economic uncertainty. Consumer confidence is weakening as a looming US recession is bolstered by inflation. There has never been a more financially viable time to use alternative fuels for cars.

However, financial prudence is not the only driving force behind the search for alternative fuels for cars. There are various environmental incentives to finding alternative fuels for cars. Scientists and environmentalists are looking for a renewable source of energy that can by consumed as cleanly as possible. Producing this resource also needs to be environmentally friendly with as little social impact as possible.

Several sources of alternative energy are actually bad for the environment as well as for the people involved. These resources may require land to be cleared in order to plant and develop these renewable resources. Clearing the land can be bad for the environment and human inhabitants may also be forced out of their homes.

The large and varied considerations in the selection of an alternative fuel have split researchers. The scientific and environmental community is still unable to reach a unanimous decision on which alternative fuel solution is the best.

This casts a large shadow of doubt over alternative energy vehicles. Hydrogen and electric cars could become obsolete if another form of alternative energy is widely adopted. This is a tangible possibility as more research and data is collected.

In the meantime, a cost effective, environmentally friendly solution is already available; water. Water can be used as a catalyst in hydrogen generators. By using water as a catalyst, gas can burn more effectively, thus giving your vehicle better mileage. Also, clean water is a resource that is easier to obtain compared to hydrogen, thus making it more convenient. Filling a tank with water is also faster than charging an electric cell.

However, it is imperative to note that hydrogen generators do not allow you to operate your vehicle entirely on water. Hydrogen generators turn water into their gaseous state and inject the gas into the vehicle’s engine. This displaces some gas while allowing the remaining gas to burn more efficiently.

The topic of hydrogen generators is one of the most widely discussed topics when it comes to car modifications that improve gas mileage. There are several companies that will install a hydrogen generator into your vehicle. Unfortunately, these services can be quite costly. These installation services can cost up to $10,000.

Alternatively, there are DIY options available on the internet. There are several guides available on the internet that will show you how to perform a HHO conversion. Some of these guides claim that the raw materials required to perform the conversions can cost as little as $150.
There is a great deal of uncertainty in the alternative fuel sector. But what is certain is that a cheap, environmentally-friendly solution should be employed by motorists wherever possible. Until the scientific and environmental community can reach a consensus, water may be one of the best alternative fuels for cars.

With the fluctuating price of oil, and gas prices at the pumps going up more often than going down, people have been thinking about hydrogen for cars. In particular they have been asking how to build a Hydrogen Fuel Cell so they can run cars on water as well as gas.

Hydrogen Fuel Cell cars, sometimes called water powered cars are nothing new, the technology to run cars on water as a supplement to your ordinary gasoline has been around for years. And now the internet is flooded with guides and plans showing you how to build a hydrogen fuel cell, or (how to make a hydrogen generator for your car as it comes down to the same thing.)

I think that hydrogen fuel cell cars are going to catch on in a really big way. Not only are they very easy to make, but also cheap enough for anyone to build one. You can convert your cars into water power cars for as little as $100, and all the parts you will need can be bought from local hardware stores or at auto stores.

So how does hydrogen for cars work?
The basis behind hydrogen fuel cell cars is a simple process called electrolysis this is the act of breaking water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen to create a gas called HHO gas or Brown’s gas. This gas is then mixed with gasoline in your cars engine and burned in the usual way. But as this mixture burns a lot more efficiently you get a smoother running engine and more mpg.

Basically what you will need to build a DIY hydrogen fuel cell are just a few simple parts. These include a small container to hold water, one that will fit under your cars hood in the engine compartment. You will also need some baking soda (to act as a catalyst) some electrical wire, some steel plates, glass pieces, and a few other items as listed in the different guides.

Once these parts are put together in the correct way the electricity from your cars engine is used to power the whole thing. This electrical current starts the electrolysis process which produces the HHO gas. This gas rises to the top of the water container where it is sucked up through some tubing and mixed with the regular gasoline + air mixture. This combined fuel mixture burns with up to 3 times as much power as ordinary gasoline. This is what gives you a more efficient engine which in turn allows you to get more mpg.

So if you are one of the many people who are fed up paying high gas prices and want to know how to build a hydrogen fuel cell to run cars on water as well as gas, then I would recommend that you make a DIY hydrogen fuel cell. Using one of the downloadable guides from the internet to show you how to convert your cars into hydrogen fuel cell cars you will be able to get more mpg and save a fortune on gasoline.

Water and Gas is a technology based on splitting water “on board” a vehicle, and using the resulting gases not to drive the vehicle – but to boost the efficiency of its combustion.

It is a Do-It-Yourself technology, specifically designed for beginners with no special tools and very limited budgets. A working system can be built at home with basic hand tools for $20-$100, installed in minutes and removed in seconds.

No modifications to the engine, computer or fuel injection systems, so any backyard mechanic can install it easily.

This is a simple structure based on low cost hardware. Although there is a myriad of hydrogen generating designs out there, this one is the simplest and also the safest for the beginner. The electrolyzer, bubbler and water reservoir have all been combined into one super-simple device.

Another advantage is the employment of coiled/spiraled electrode WIRES – rather than flat plates or spiraled plates. The magnetic vortex created by the coil assists water splitting, so you don’t need as much power from the car’s electrical system, thus simplifying the system even further and lowering its cost.

Three major factors work together to cause water splitting: direct current flowing through the electrode wires to the water, the magnetic vortex created by the shape of the electrodes, and the vacuum provided by the engine itself.

The effects of this technology is lowered emissions and improved mileage, simply due to a MORE COMPLETE COMBUSTION. Today’s internal combustion engines suffer from poor efficiency of 20%-25%, as any mechanic will tell you; 75%-80% of the gasoline, instead of being converted to forward motion, is instead converted to pollution and carbon deposits (unburned fuel), as well as heat (global warming), vibration and noise (knocking/pinging).

THE MAIN PROBLEM IS OVERSIZED FUEL DROPLETS IN THE MIXTURE. The Hydrogen, being such a small particle, hits a droplet, cuts it into smaller droplets and attaches itself to the smaller droplets. Now the finer, hydrogen-enhanced mixture, is capable of burning more thoroughly.

On top of improved performance, the engine steam-cleans itself every day, and the resulting effect is smoother and quieter operation. One person who tried this kit was shocked when she checked her engine oil and was sure that her oil ran totally out. Actually what happened was that while she was expecting dark brown, dirty oil, the oil was actually so transparent that she could not see it on the dip stick. Her 20-year-old car is as smooth now (with this device on) as it was when she bought it 17 years ago.

Another lady “complained” that she could not hear the engine running…but to her surprise the car was still moving along.

This technology is not capable of running a car on water alone. The aim is not to replace gasoline but to enhance it – and open the door and the mind to the possibilities of waterfuel technology. With correct fine tuning you can DOUBLE the mileage, rendering a new energy balance: half gasoline, half water. Very little water is used, in an economy car it’s around 2700 miles per gallon of distilled water, together with 4-6 teaspoons of household baking soda as a catalyst. It has been demonstrated many times that the fuel consumption of a 4-stroke generator can also be cut in half with this technology.

Not all cars, loads and driving conditions will gain the same, obviously. Realistic expectations are for more than 10%-50% improvement in fuel economy, however daily success stories range from experimenters who are seeing gains of 80%-100% in various vehicles. For some, significant economy gains inflict a revelation that something can be done about it, while for others it’s a life changing factor.

This technology and how to manufacture it, exists in a free marketplace where sellers and buyers of actual systems can find each other and trade without interference. Like in the Golden Age of Greece – no police, very little government.

There are more than 3200 satisfied customers, over 400 registered independent manufacturers/installers, and an unknown number of affiliates promoting this technology all over the world.

All in all, Water and Gas technology has become a buzzword for practicality and affordability. This all shows that something can be done about gas prices, pollution and global warming, you can gladly take an active role and help to spread the word.

At the time of writing, this technology is only for gasoline and diesel cars and trucks. However many experimenters are working on adaptations to propane/LPG/CNG propelled vehicles, as well as boats and other applications such as stationary generators.

It has been predicted by some that this water and gas hybrid technology will start showing up in production cars as soon as 2012. However, at this time you can actually do it yourself seeing as how the kits are simply “add-ons” that do not change anything already equipped on the vehicle.
