I was interested by an article on my local TV news about a guy in the Lincoln area who had fitted a Hydrogen gas converter to his vehicle and was enjoying much improved mpg. This was supplementing his existing petrol/diesel and not instead of it. The gas produced seems to be fed into the air intake and all you have to do is to top up the gas converter with tap water. It all seems a bit unlikely but a search of the internet brings up some interesting info. Does anybody know anything about these devices. This website is informative

Hi Teacher,I made one a bit like this one in the video but a bit cruder,I am now going to make another one from some stainless 1mm sheet,with a bubbler,I used a pickle jar,on a battery charger it drew just over 5 amps so not that much draw,I want one to draw about 10/12amps,my van normaly does26/28 mpg on a run,yesterday I had to go to boston,(linc`s)to collect a fridge for my son,I filled up at asda in nottingham,and had OH,my old mum& 2 grandkids with us and was going to make a day out for us all,we left Nott`m,swithed the HHO genny on with a switch I had resting on the dash,we went to bosten,then to Skegness(packed)and then to Mablethorpe (dead) and then back to nottingham,(switching the HHO jenny off when stopped),when I got back to nottingham,about 8.30pm I went back to Asda and filled up again,it took £31,so heres the calculation,£31 divided by £113.99 Ltr = 27.19 Ltrs,divided by 4.54 =5.99 gallons,206 miles trip divided by 5.99 gallons =34.39 Mpg overall,about an increase of 18/19% the vid is below is of the crude one I made,but I am now going to make one with all the other bits needed,look on the net and just google HHO and you will see a lot of Info.My normaly does around 28 mpg on a run

heres the video.

heres a diagram of the one I and going to have a go at.I wont be using a bubbler with the level indicator as I am using a clear acrylic jar,

http://www.dtuls.com/2008/07/install......enerator-hoses/

I am making one on the lines as this one,but again using a large acrylic jar.

the one I am making is a nine plate 3.3/4 inch long X 2.1/4 inch wide at the moment it is held together by cable ties and the plates are spaced with the same but cut off,I have tried it and it produces very well,I am going to add some neutral plates now and see if it performs better,at the moment its a matter of trial and error to get the best results for about 12 amps draw,and how much electrolite to use, the electrolite is just household bakeing soda. the photo is in the privios messege

Hi Pete,
Thanks for the very informative reply. Is yours the 2.0 litre petrol engine? I get 23-25mpg which is spot on the AutoSleepers specification for the Executive body, when new. Any improvement on this is worthwhile. How often do you need to top up the
water jar of your Hydrogen generator and an obvious question, how safe is the device when in use. If you dont mind me asking, are you the guy in the Lincoln area who given the TV and press coverage regarding the device.

Hi again,yes mine is a 20ltr petrol,I am amazed at what I get to the gallon on a run but I am not heavy footed,regarding the HHO generators I have been looking in to them for quite a while now on the net,the one I am building at min will have all the safety devices fitted I.E anti flash check unit,one way valve with a tube connected and directed away from any source of ignition,(in case the vestle pressurises but this is very rare as the gas is taken away to the carb by the vacume it creates) and a breather to allow air in the the genny,and a switch on the dash which is alluminated when the genny is switched on and that will also go through my ignition switch,so when you stop the genny is also swithed off if you forget to switch it off on the dash,you can make one so that the bubbler auto tops up the genny and you top the bubbler up when needed (about ever 500 miles or so about a cup full)it took me a while looking at all the differant vids that or on the net to find one that I think is the safest one for me,it may sound very confusing but if you have time just Google HHO and you will see all the info and vids out there,sorry I am not the guy from lincoln,the goverments have tried to suppress the info for a long time,and also said is could not be done,but now it is out there, there is nothing they can do as it is proven they work,the Saudies have also tried to buy all the rights for them but they have not succeeded,hope this helps and when I have completed the one I am doing now I will pot the results,

Hi Teacher,heres a nice bit of reading

Brown's Gas got the name from Yull Brown, a gifted Bulgarian professor and inventor living in Australia. He was one of the first to note the extraordinary properties of HHO, and to disassociate it cheaply from water. He was also one of the first to use it to power an automobile's internal combustion engine, and to also market it as a welding gas (and one of the first to experience the aura of suppression surrounding this alternative energy). Professor Brown discovered that using relatively small amounts of carefully tuned pulsed electricity across submersed plate electrodes acting as Capacitors can break the atomic bonds of water into HHO thousands of times more efficiently than the old methods of "brute force" high-Amperage systems. This does not break any existing scientific principles: When the "capacitance" of the electrodes are exceeded, there is a large release of energy similar to an over-voltaged electroytic "cap" in a circuit exploding much like a firecracker. And Dr. Brown also found that HHO has several unique properties known in no other energy source. HHO does not have a set burning temperature: It reacts to the substance it is contact with when being burned. It can burn cool enough in air to run a finger through it quickly (about 230 deg. C) ; yet it can sublimate Tungsten at over 6000 deg. C when the flame touches it. As a burning torch, it burns through steel or brick remarkably fast (much faster than oxyacetylene gas mixtures). Yet when burned, HHO has only one byproduct: Pure water. Brown discovered another unique property: When in a "perfect" mixture of 66.67% H to O, it will implode instead of explode (the result of the gas recombining back into water). This implosion produces a huge amount of vacuum energy (around 4 times the amount of energy derived from burning / exploding HHO and air mixtures). Brown was also one of the first to discover that when mixed with Diesel or gasoline fuels, HHO will increase the burning efficiency of the mixture greatly. H burns very quickly, the fastest flame propagation rate of any element. Refined oil products are large complex molecules that burn relatively slowly. When HHO is added to the fuels and ignited, much more of the hydrocarbons are burned fully… Creating much cleaner exhaust and more power to the engine. The result is increased gas mileage and smoother running, longer lasting motors that waste much less energy. Depending on the engine, mileage increases of 75% are possible (increases of around 30% are more commonplace with home-made units). This, as a mileage "Booster", is the most popular use for HHO systems today. Sold as kits or simply created at home by tinkerers and would-be inventors, HHO boosters are helping their owners cut pollution and save energy and money all over the world. To modify a car to use HHO Boost is usually quite simple (the disassociated gas is introduced through the air filter); and it works well with gasoline, Diesel, or bio-fuels. The older the engine, the simpler it is to modify: Motors without computers and using carburetors are easiest.

Pete, I have been messing about with this since Xmas but I haven't had as much bubbling as you have in the picture. What did you mean by neutral plates? what have you used in between the plates to seperate them? did you use a bubbler in your last check?
I have been trialing mine with my Vectra which runs on LPG, I also used an old LPG mixer in the air intake to draw the gas. I have only seen minor improvements mainly because mine has not been producing enough gas. How have you achieved the 10 amp draw? is it done by the spacing of the plates?

Mike

Hi Mike,the spacing of the plates an min are cable ties cut down to the same width of the plates,and the cable ties holding the lot together,one top and one bottom,the finished one will be bolted together with plastic threaded bar and plastic washers to space the plates and platic nuts,then the poss and neg plates bolted together with stainless threaded bar,the neutral plate is placed in between the poss and neg plates and does not connect to any electric IE poss or neg,the one I have made at the moment is 17 plates 5 neg 4 poss 8 neutral,so it is,
neg-neu-poss-neu-neg-neu-poss-neu-neg-neu-poss-neu-neg-nue-poss-neu-neg,the amp draw depends on how much eletrolite you add to the distilled water,the eletrolite is just bicarbonated soda,firstly I added a 1/4 steaspoon it drew 2amps so I added another 1/4 and it drew just above 3 amps it is now running on1 & 3/4 teaspoons and drawing 10 amps,also as the genny warm up it produces more and can get quite warm but seems to stablise after a few mins,you will also need good quality wire,I an using about 6mm wire so it does not get hot,adding neutral plates seem to stop amp draw but creates more electrolosis,so it creates more gas when you add more electrolite (soda) some are trying 2 neutral plates in between the poss and neg plates,I may have a go at this myself aswell to see what the results are later,its a bit like trial and error to get the best results at min,the first one I made was just stainless steel wire wound round some platic sheet about 5 inches long and about 2 inches across,with apipe coming out of the plastic jar top and the poss and ney wire doing the same and sealed with silicon sealant connect with crock clipps to the batters and and the protrudind wires for the jar,the poss wire had a swith in between that came through into the cab and resting on the dash,and with no bubbler just strait in to the air intake tube on the air filter right near the carb top,even with this small amount going in I noticed you need less a lot less accelerator to pull away,and beleave it or not the engine seems to run smoother,I think mine (hoping) is producing about 1 to 1,1/2 ltrs a min but wont know till I do a test with the bubbler fitted,if it is producing that ammount I could get arround 50/60% Mpg and dont forget the emisions will go down by that much aswell,,so 10% increase = 10% decrease in emisions and so on. hope this is some help but if you get stuck post it and I will do my best,Pete.

Hi Pete,
Thanks for the reply, I am surprised with the neutral plates. I always thought the + & - had to be next to each other but I suppose this is what trial and error is all about.
What is your bubbler design etc?
I found that using a lpg mixer which fits on the throttle body & air intake fitted to this works well. A valve can be used in the feed line for control from the generator. Because of the design of the lpg mixer it causes a vacuum in the pipe to the generator so the more throttle the more suction. It may add the HH better. If I get this working well I may even try going through a LPG vapouriser as it has a diagphram which works from vacuum demand so may control the HH even better but these are just thoughts at present.

Hi Mike,the bubble is made from a tall spegetti jar the same as in the previos pictures,it has a union with a pipe going in at the bottom that comes from the genny,the bubble is filled half way with water,then a union with a pipe fitted to it at the top that goes to the air intakes to the carb,this pipe also has the ant flashback unit in it,the pipe is cut in two and the flash back unit fitted,the same way as a normal petrol filter is fitted.

Hi Pete
I'm new to this site (and HHO Gas!) and I'm fascinated by it! I've read quite a bit on line about producing the gas, etc., but I wonder if you can bring me up to date on a few things? Apologies for 'picking your brains' but I'm an impatient bugger and you seem to be a bit of an authority on the subject!
I've got the basic construction principles ok, but can you give me some idea of:
1. The thickness/gauge of the SS plates
2. The diameter of the tube(s) going to the air intake
3. Where can I get a flash-back arrester from?
I don't understand the purpose of the neutral plates. Don't they reduce the surface area of the + & - plates and thus the gas output?
And what is the purpose of the bubbler?
No doubt I'll be pestering you again, but I'm eager to get something built; I just don't want to blow anything up!
Kind regards

Hi Mr Dutch,and others,sorry for the late reply but I have been trying differant plate configurations for lowest amp draw and best gas production,as soon as I have what I think is best all round I will post it with all the other info.you can research it,just Google HHO.
Cheers Pete
