HHO Hydrogen Conversions...

OK seeing as how the last thread was closed due to special people arguing THIS THREAD IS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE USED IT and PEOPLE WHO WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT.

GAS engines run much more efficiently off of these units than diesel due to the difference in how combustion is achieved.

Here is a list of ideas, problems, ect..

1. Heat
2. Electrical
3. Effects on a motor
4. other parts to consider when installing a unit

So i will explain how it works and go through different answers that have been given to me for the problems i listed above.

HHo conversions produce hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis. 2 electrodes submerged in water with a positive and negative current running through it. There are some units with wires coiled with the current running through it, and there are some with plates. The coiled wire and electrode setup have less potential to create the gases, so the plate setup is opted for in most setups. The water that is in your unit can be just water but electrolyte (different types but sodium carbonate will work) is a catalyst to enable more production. Heat is a major issue. Installing a pulse width modulator will triple your production and regulate heat. The voltage is varied in a unit over a wave form. this is the basic principle behind it. Wiki has a better more precise answer Here. Some if not most of these PWMs have amperage regulators which allows you to control the electrical draw from your car. Electrical is a very big topic with all the how to's. the only comment i am going to make is have a PWM and a fuse on the system. Now for effects on the motor. Running strait hydrogen requires a ceramic or chrome cylinder walls, pistons, valves, and exposed parts of the head(to the combustion chamber). When you mix hydrogen with gas, the effects are minimal, if at all,when compared to wear and tear already happening.

I have installed these units on multiple vehicles but 2 are my own, one is a 1987 Honda accord with the 2.0 carbuerated motor and the other is a 2001 ford e350 with a 7.3 dit. As for the accord, the carb has just been leaned out you just have to give it a little gas when you start it. The e350 has a superchip programmer for the most economical setting and a rev limiter set 250 below stock(that due to it being a fleet vehicle).

If you want to argue or make a point, dont post it here. send me a pm, im, or even a text (3105619006)
