Hydrogen Engine

A HHO generator is the device which is used in a water/gas hybrid engine to produce HHO gas. This generator makes hydrogen and oxygen through a process of electrolysis. A direct electrical current is passed through water, causing it to split into its components (hydrogen and oxygen).

A myth which is often heard in relation to HHO is that the electrical energy required is greater than is the amount of energy generated. This myth is that, plain and simple – a myth. The HHO generator produces the maximum amount of energy with minimal input energy. The input energy is supplied by the battery of the car, a direct current.

This direct current passes through two bare rods which are submerged in water to which an electrolyte has been added. This produces a small quantity of HHO. In a nutshell, this is how a HHO generator works. The power switch on the battery remains off until the HHO gas is sucked out by the air intake valve, since an accumulation of HHO could be explosive.

Now for a closer look at the process. An electrolyte, usually sodium bicarbonate, is added to the water. The battery begins passing current through the water, causing the water to break down into hydrogen and oxygen gases, with HHO being released at the same time.

The HHO gas then travels into the air intake valve of the engine and combines with air and gasoline in the combustion chamber. The HHO gas acts to cool the temperature inside the combustion chamber form 500 degrees down to between 350 and 400 degrees, which leads to more efficient gasoline use and longer engine life. The water is then heated into steam, which travels out through the exhaust.

During exhaust, the water vapor mixes with the gasoline emissions and has a limiting effect on their environmental damage. These exhaust products include carbon dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. The water is released as a vapor due to the heat produced inside of a combustion engine.

Even during exhaust, water helps provide an environmental benefit by purifying some of the emissions from gasoline usage. Water increases your fuel efficiency and provides an environmental benefit at the same time.

This technology has been around for some time now, but until recently, no one gave it much thought. However, the rapidly rising cost of gasoline is about to change all of that. Water for gas systems are going to be very popular very soon.
