I loved the article on the Hydrogen cars coming our way in the near future. I am confused about Hydrogen technology and am hoping you can shed light (thru e-mail or another article) on why we can’t have a hydrogen converter installed on the car directly instead of depending on Hydrogen refill stations? As I comb the internet, I see many “home-grown” versions using Brown Gas extrapolated from water via a homemade heating system. It seems safe enough and doesn’t require a user to refill at a Hydrogen station. In fact, the user only has to refill the water every other month or two. Why are we not seeing these “add on” hydrogen kits being sold now via dealerships to augment current gas engines?
There are a ton of them available on the net the only problem is
.. . ..
They will not run the cars engine alone
.. . ..
The gas from the HHO generator is put into the cars intake of the carburetor to mix with the gas you still have to use
.. . ..
It only gives you better gas mileage that is all it does not totally run the cars engine
.. . ..
To run a cars engine on solely a gas as hydrogen will take a different type of mixing system no carburetor will handle it
.. . .
Here is a web site that tells it like it is
.. . …
Because a dealership with a storefront is an easy target for the district attorney to raid, and legitimate businessmen won’t have anything to do with this sort of fraud. The kits are bogus at several levels:
(1) you could make one yourself easily enough
(2) they don’t produce enough gas to affect the engine
(3) if they did produce enough hydrogen for the engine to notice, it wouldn’t run very well because the stuff would pre-ignite in the compression stroke, and
(4) if all the above wasn’t enough, the energy that the water cell takes from the engine through the alternator belt exceeds that which you can gain from burning the hydrogen and oxygen. As a result, your gas mileage goes down under identical driving conditions.
That’s why. Sorry.
They don’t work.
