HHO

Post by RogueIT »

Has anyone tried running there car on the HHO gas created by running an electric current through a water and baking soda mixture and then feeding the gas into the carborator?
A friend of mine made this little setup and got his Yukon from 14 MPG to 29 MPG and gets 62 MPG on his S10 that he has been running for a while.

Just wonder if anyone has tried that with there car.

thanks,
Rogue

So you're spraying raw hydrogen and oxygen, created thru electrolysis (which is a VERY ENERGY INTENSIVE PROCESS) directly into your engine? You realize that most of your engine components weren't designed to handle the different type of combustion, right?

I'll keep my 15mpg and my engine, thank you.


Oh yeah, when was the last time a carburetor was put on an engine? Wasn't fuel injection standard since the 70's or 80's?
Sarcasm is a tool the weak use to avoid confrontation. People with any balls just outright lie.

Your friend is lieing.
No connection to oil, big or small.

EFI (electronic fuel injection) was first developed in the 50's or 60's, I think early corvettes had them. EFI became much more common in mid-80s and im guessing anything produced since the early 90's has it. i have heard from a friend of a guy who has hydrogen injected into his fuel line at some point and gets 70 mpg out of an El Camino. i'd be concerned about what effects it has on the engine though.

This is just plain stupid. The ONLY way to double your gas mileage with a fuel additive is by replacing 50% of the energy supplied by gasoline with energy supplied by the fuel additive (in this case hydrogen). Without looking it up, I'd feel very safe with a blanket guaranfuckintee that the energy equivilent of a gallon of gasoline, purchased, or manufactured on site, in the form of hydrogen, would cost more than that gallon of gasoline.

OK, so I looked it up. The energy equivilent of one gallon of gasoline is 16 gallons of hydrogen at 3,625PSI! To generate that much hydrogen onboard through electrolysis would require a HUGE amount of electricity, and a fairly big water tank as well. Where would that electricity come from? From an generator powered by burning gasoline and hydrogen! In effect you're asking for a perpetual motion machine.
