It is astonishing that no automobile manufacturer is producing a hybrid HHO vehicle. It is so cheap any easy to do and offers gas saving of up to 60%. It is not even as if they would have to change much on their production line. An HHO auto simply has an add on to its existing gasoline engine. But then, that is the way of the world, isn't it? It is like light-bulbs designed to blow after a certain period of time.
It is also fascinating to know that HHO technology, or water technology as it is often called, has been around for over a century. It seems that until recently oil has been in such plentiful supply and cheap enough for manufacturers to overlook the option of water power. Yet it is such a simple system. For now I will confine myself to the one possibility available today: a kit form of HHO.
Kits are added to standard gas or diesel engines. No modifications are necessary. The only connections are to the carburetor intake hose, the vehicle's battery and the ignition system. It is not at all complicated and entirely safe. No hydrogen is stored on board the vehicle, so there are no flammability issues.
Advantages and Methods of an HHO Vehicle
The main advantages of an HHO car or truck are savings on gas and a rebate from the IRS to the tune of $ 2,000. Other bonuses are increased engine life span, decreased engine noise and an improvement in pulling power and acceleration. It is also very cheap to make: under $ 150. You may want to add another $ 150 to that if you need a mechanic to help out.
At the heart of an HHO vehicle is the generator. With the aid of a good instruction manual , anyone can build an HHO generator, even if they need a little help from their garage. No specialist tools are required and all the materials are available from hardware and plumbing suppliers.
The generator comprises a reservoir made from high temperature resistant material (CPVC, for example) and an electrode. The car's battery is wired to the reservoir and an electric current is passed through the water when the ignition is activated.
The water then reacts with the catalyst, producing hydrogen from the negative terminal and oxygen from the positive terminal. These rise as gas to the surface of the liquid and reform as variations of HHO. This hydroxy gas is then sucked into the carburetor via a bubbler. The bubbler is only there to prevent moisture from entering the carburetor.
Because ferrous oxide builds up on the catalyst, it is prudent to place it in a cradle to easily remove it for cleaning. A good way to avoid too much ferrous oxide build-up is to empty and replace the water every two or three weeks.
The electrical circuit is controlled by a very simple unit which also earths the entire system. It is very useful if you can control the amperage via the unit. It only costs a few dollars more to include this facility. It really is about as simple as that to make an HHO vehicle.
