Re: HHO Gas - Brown Gas
I found this video a few months ago. The guy that made this was murdered a few months later... Coincidence???

Re: HHO Gas - Brown Gas
In case anyone's interested, I was just reading this thread about it on www.Pirate4x4.com , here's the link to the thread going over there...

Re: HHO Gas - Brown Gas
I think its a wonderful concept, but I don't think the technology is there yet.
That's why I'm working on going another alternative energy route. I'm sick of supporting OPEC (the White House & friends). http://www.gengas.nu/byggbes/index.shtml This is a proven technology that died out due to the convenience of gasoline. It does need some updating.

Re: HHO Gas - Brown Gas
i am looking into it. i will probably have it on my 99 s10 within a few months
I may have over looked it, but you guys know you cant run tap water. it has to be distilled.

Re: HHO Gas - Brown Gas
TKMAD, I'm with you. It takes alot of energy to split water molecules! Gas will have to reach $20 a gallon before this technology is even close!
By the way, anyone remember the 100mpg carb? Jay |

Re: HHO Gas - Brown Gas
I am trying to wrap my head around this so tell me if this is not right. The way I understand this, HHO is used in conjunction with gas. The motor doesn't actually run on water. The HHO is injected at a fixed rate, unlike gas which can be pumped into the carb to make you go faster. Kind of like propane in a deisel engine. The energy it takes to make the HHO comes from the battery which is recharged by the altenator. The HHO cannot be pumped in like gas because you can't store it like gasoline and don't have a fuel pump to move it. So that is why engines can idle on the stuff, but can't accelerate.
I am just kinda typing this stuff out so I can understand it a little, if I am wrong please correct me.

Re: HHO Gas - Brown Gas
I see some guys are playing around with actelene(?) generators. Throw a chunk of carbide in some water and there ya go. From what I see, carbide is still fairly cheap. Whichever way, there are too many people working on this for it not to end up on the web for all to see. They can't kill everyone that comes up with a process. Or maybe they can.

Re: HHO Gas - Brown Gas
Had me wondering for awhile. Thought I might have use for those things.

Here is an article on two Minnesotans who sell kits: http://www.jamestownsun.com/articles...286a8835705b5b

Re: HHO Gas - Brown Gas
ok i have a stupid idea..the problem is you cannot rev the motor if with straight hydrogen, because there's no way to regulate he flow. now im no electrician so bear with me, is there some sort of switch you could mount to the throttle cable that at idle would send low amounts of current to the generator, so it makes less HHO, but when you step on the gas it send to optimal amount of current, thus making a larger amount of HHO?
Do you follow? its kinda techy...

Re: HHO Gas - Brown Gas
wouldn't pressure == more H going into the carb? so if the H coming off of the generator is at 0psi, it's like having a liquid on a flat surface.
so wouldn't it make sense to find a way to store the H in a tank and release it as the gas pedal is pressed? |

Re: HHO Gas - Brown Gas
Some guys use a PWM (pulse width modulator) to control the amount of HHO produced by modulating the current powering the cell. The PWM signal is taken off your throttle position sensor.
It's not absolutely necessary because the HHO gas doesn't itself power the vehicle unless you have designed a kit/engine combo to specifically do that. The kits we're thinking about only augment the efficiency of the combustion of the gasoline. The gasoline is still the fuel the powers the vehicle. The HHO only increases combustion efficiency by mixing with the air/fuel and making it more volatile. To run your vehicle strictly off of HHO, you would need to rebuild your engine using hardened valve seats, hardened valves, chrome lined cylinders, etc. |

Re: HHO Gas - Brown Gas
I've been looking into this myself, and I found a web-site like this one that is completely dedicated to people that have the systems on their vehicles. There is a guy on there using a set up on his truck with a 350 and he's getting a 3mpg gain. here's the link. To view the threads, you have to subscribe though.
http://hhoinfo.ning.com/ there is a lot of really good info on the site from people who are using the equipment and helping eachother to try and find out how to make it more efficiently. |

Re: HHO Gas - Brown Gas
thanks for the link.. i like the warning thats on the front page, these devices can kill in a number of ways.. great,, i can just see i tnow, im gonna end up talking to the MAN, they gonna wanna know about the big hole in the ground where most of the town used to be...

Re: HHO Gas - Brown Gas
I've got a friend that has two mason jars with water in them, and hooked into the air inlet on a v6 front wheel drive. He was getting 26 mpg and now is getting around 32. Definately helps on gas money. He made the stuff for around ten dollars or so. Definately worth it if you do alot of driving.

Re: HHO Gas - Brown Gas
68 short step, do you have pics or the plans and material list to build one? Also did it GREATLY improve your gas mileage like these sites claim?
