HHO: A Question or Two


HHO: A Question or Two

In my last article, I was giving my thoughts on the viability of HHO as a DIY fuel. As a supplementary fuel, it seems that HHO may work, though there are two Questions uppermost that need some investigating.
The first question is, that when HHO is burnt, the by product is water, so, will this water harm the engine? One of the by products of burning petrol, is that water is formed and gets blown out of the exhaust with all the other stuff. This water will not normally harm the engine, so long as the engine reaches normal running temperature, whereupon the water will boil off, and exit the exhaust as steam. This is why cars that are used for short runs, say for the school run, or local shopping, usually suffer from emulsification of the oil. That is, the water produced during combustion doesn’t boil off, because the engine never reaches running temperature at all, or doesn’t reach it for long enough to boil off the water, allowing the water to mix with the oil, which over time will have a detrimental effect on the internal parts of the engine. This is why generally, the engine of a low mileage short journey car, will be in worse condition than the engine of a car of the same age, that has a higher mileage, and has been used for longer journeys. So, the answer, I would think, to the question of whether the water formed in the combustion of HHO will harm the engine, is probably, no, it won’t, so long as the car is driven on journeys long enough to get the engine to operating temperature for long enough to boil the water off. Basically the same rules as for any car.
Now the other question is more difficult, and I would assume would be addressed in the HHO kits, or in the DIY instructions; and that is: how does the engine management system cope with the extra power, and combustion property’s. This is something I can’t answer at the moment, but in the next couple of weeks, I will be purchasing a set of DIY instructions, and I will give a breakdown of the information it provides.
In the meantime, here are some more video’s for you to peruse.
