HHO As A Supplementary Green Fuel, some more thoughts.
HHO As A Supplementary Green Fuel, some more thoughts.
Now, there seems to be a lot of controversy over whether HHO kits are viable, and cost effective. Certainly the ready made variety are expensive, as all green manufactured equipment is, and for any benefits they produce, their cost effectiveness is questionable. The claims of extra mpg may in fact be genuine, there is certainly plenty of evidence on YouTube to support the proponents of HHO. In fact the supporting evidence does seem to outweigh the negative evidence. The way to go for cost effectiveness must be the DIY route, and again, from the evidence, people are having some succes with DIY HHO kits.
There seem to have been no studies as to whether HHO as a supplementary will have any detrimental effect on the average internal combustion engine, and why would there be, the car and fuel companies certainly wouldn’t benefit from research into Manufactured, or DIY HHO kits. So that leaves that Question wide open. Older vehicles may be more tolerent of any detrimental effects, as mixture strength, ignition tming, and so forth, can be adjusted easily. But for the modern car, mapping of the oxygen sensor must be carried out, and I don’t believe it to be as easy as just fitting an electronic component bought on Ebay. I have had experience of air flow sensor problems, and it was a nightmare for the garage to sort out, and it all had to be set up on the proper computer which plugs into the car. These guys do it all the time, but it was still a headache. Personally, I won’t be considering fitting a HHO device to my car for this very reason. Though I’m not in by any means decrying HHO kits.
The big car companies seem to be forging ahead with the development of HHO powered cars, and some could even be in production this year. So for those who like the idea of entirely HHO powered cars, then the factory produced ones will be the answer. Though whether these HHO cars will be cheaper to run is debatable. If you have to buy your fuel from any conglomerate, the chances are that you can say goodbye to cheap motoring. Though of course, it’s not all about cheap motoring, the environment is the main issue, but most of us would certainly like the sweetener of lower fuel costs.
For myself, I’ll wait for battery power. I like the idea of having totally renewable energy that can be produced for nothing fairly easily via DIY solar cells. as I’ve said on my ‘About’, page, I like my car, but I would like it a whole lot more if it didn’t chuck out clouds of noxious diesel fumes. I actually get a guilt feeling every time I drive it.
To sum up, Diy HHO kits are cheap and they look easy to fit, at least on older cars. So any economy gain is worth a shot
In the meantime, I will leave you with a Mythbusters YouTube video’s for your entertainment. I don’t think they quite busted this one. I do love YouTube.
……………………………………….
Well, now we know why mythbusters busted HHO. Actually this is the first time I have watched this bust, but I did spot their mistakes, which, I have to admit, were pretty obvious.

PS. Read my article on the Magniwork E Book, and don’t, whatever you do, buy this book. I have more evidence, which I shall be publishing shortly, to support my initial review.
