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.

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.

Hydrogen As A Renewable DIY Energy Fuel?

As a Renewable DIY Energy fuel, is HHO (Hydrogen), a viable option? HHO production is a bit more difficult to research than other forms of renewable energy, because it still seems to be very much in the experimental stage, certainly as far as a vehicle fuel for the domestic consumer is concerned.
Hydrogen is a renewable fuel in that when it burns, its only by product is water, and water is used in the electrolytic process to make it, so what you put in, in raw material terms, you get back again. Saying that, electrical energy is still needed for the hydrogen making process.
The experimental vehicles that are around at the moment, running solely on HHO, have a very limited range, similar to that of an electric car. The problem seems, again, to be fuel storage. The size of any fuel storage vessel that can comfortably be accommodated within the confines of a domestic family saloon car is strictly limited. HHO as a fuel needs a lot of space.
HHO, maybe a fuel of the future, but when it comes to powering our homes, and our domestic vehicles, I think it’s going to have a tough job competing with renewable energy in the form of solar or wind power. I know that electric cars have to be plugged in to a power source to be recharged, but that power source can easily be obtained from a home based renewable energy resource.
Also I think that it would be just a bit impractical for the average person to have a Hydrogen generator in their garage, with all the associated equipment, that would produce enough HHO to run the family cars, bearing in mind that Hydrogen has to be pressurised to about 5000psi to be able to store it in any usable quantity, and also a substantial amount of power is required in the HHO production process, and of course, a means of combustion is still required. The fact remains, that for domestic consumer use, and certainly for DIY renewable energy applications, HHO is just not in the running.
For industrial use, judging by the research, and results already being obtained by some individual researchers, and users, HHO is providing some huge benefits, but I think that for any practical purpose, HHO will stay in the commercial, industrial, and military sector.
Saying all that, it’s possible that HHO may be of use as a supplementary intermediary fuel for domestic vehicles, while we are waiting for the electric car to be available in a cheap enough form for everyone to be able to afford. There are many DIY HHO kits and instructions on the market, that advertise a significant increase in fuel efficiency when HHO is introduced into the combustion process as a supplemental fuel. If the benefits of HHO as a supplementary fuel are real, then of course it’s certainly worth a go. These small HHO generators seem very easy to make and install. So, as a DIY project on a very small scale, and as a supplementary fuel, HHO generation may be viable.
