If you are dying for cheap gas an HHO conversion seems to be the main choice nowadays. Once people know what an HHO conversion is all about, some 70% follow it up and actually install an HHO kit in their vehicle.
The Alternative Fuel Institute says HHO conversion had increased ten fold in Texas, California, Florida and Idaho last year. In the USA as a whole, sales of manuals reached 89,000. The evidence of the effectiveness of orthohydrogen in vehicles as now beyond doubt.
What Is HHO Conversion?
It is about adding some equipment to a vehicle's engine which supplies a better-burning fuel. This gas is known as orthohydrogen, Brown's gas or Stein's gas. It is up to 10 times more efficient than standard gasoline or diesel.
As an electric current is passed through water, the H20 reacts with an electrolyzer which produces HHO.
How Does an HHO Conversion Work?
To put it in simple terms, you need an electrolyzer, a vaporizer and a control unit.
The electrolyzer is the most critical component. It is housed in high temperature resistent casing such as CPVC. A small amount of water is added. As an electrical current is passed through the water, the H2O atoms are split into positive ions and negative electrons. The atoms reform to produce HHO. The orthohydrogen is bubbled off and passes to the vaporizer.
The vaporizer sits between the electrolyzer and the carburetor. It is a very simple piece of kit and stops any moisture entering the engine.
The last element of an HHO conversion is the electronic control unit. This is linked to the vehicle's ignition, battery and hydrogen generator. It controls the whole system, keeping the current at a fairly constant 13 amps.
What are the advantages of HHO Conversion?
Of course, you will need a decent manual to take you through the steps of building an HHO conversion kit. It is easy to do yourself or the alternative is to pass it to your mechanic. In any case, the first advantage is the cheapness of making and installing it. Allow $60 for a manual and another $120 for materials which can all be sourced online or from your local hardware store. Think about another $100 if you need to call on the assistance of a mechanic.
Then, of course, there are the savings on gas. Expect to save between 20% and 60%. For most that equates to an average of around $800 every year.
The other benefits are an IRS tax refund of $2,000; lower insurance premiums; improved acceleration and torque; longer engine life; and no pollution.
