Convert to HHO and Save Gas

I have listed the best guides to making an HHO kit which I have personally tried, below. The first of them I consider to be the best (although it comes with a hefty price tag at just over $90, that can be refunded by the IRS if you are resident in the USA) and the easiest to follow, although they all offer a minimum of 60 days, no questions asked, guarantees if you are not satisfied with the product. So you have nothing to lose, whichever you choose. Click on the titles to find out more about them.

With the price of gas so volatile and likely to rise dramatically in the long term, it is madness not to look into HHO technology. Unfortunately, as ever, the car makers are still way behind the times and still fiddling about with cars powered by electricity. That's all they've got up their sleeve and any meaningful kind of electric auto won't roll off a production line any time before 2012. Just look at the reports from this year's Detroit Motor Show; not the smallest hint of HHO technology. It's madness.

The average increase in miles to the gallon over all makes and models of cars and trucks, gas or diesel, which have been independently assessed is 53%. All from a tiny amount of water with a light electrical current running through it. The water is catalyzed and HHO gas rises to the surface from the positive and negative terminals.

All systems are still hybrids. Not enough power can yet be produced solely from HHO. Still, savings of up to 60% on gas bills can't be bad. Additionally, a $2,000 tax refund should be deducted from your IRS bill if you pay tax. That soars all the way to $50,000 for seriously heavy trucks. Yes, many truck fleets are adding HHO kits to their trucks, along with with the self-employed.

Yet more good news is that the only byproduct of the HHO kit part of the hybrid is a small amount of water upon cooling. That means anyone with a kit is doing their bit for the environment.

Enjoy browsing through the descriptions of the various manuals listed above. One or two of them look a bit lame but they are all decent products, albeit the first is the best.

Please let me know how you found the manual you choose - how easy it was to follow, what the illustrations were like etc. by leaving a comment on this post. It will be kept private and only used for the monitoring of other people's experiences of the various guides on offer. Thank you.

Water Gas for Cars and Trucks

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.

HHO Systems in the USA

Sales of HHO systems in Florida, Texas and California have just shot through the roof. HHO systems are actually beginning to appear on news broadcasts in places like the UK, South Africa and the eastern coast of Africa. As the appeal of bio-fuels seems be to in decline because of the increasing cost of food, hydrogen is becoming much more popular after several years in the wilderness.

In fact, many governments are giving orthohydrogen their full backing. This year in the USA, for example, anyone can claim a tax rebate to the tune of anything from $2,000 to $50,000 depending on the weight of the vehicle. An average car gets $2,000, a truck or bus under 26,000 pounds gets $5,000 and anything over that weight gets up to $50,000.

The costs of fitting your own kit are as follows. $60 for an HHO manual. $140 for materials. Possibly $100 if you need a bit of help from a car mechanic. That makes a total of $300. So, keep hold of your manual and receipts as proof for the IRS that you have fitted an HHO kit and you have made $1,700 before you have even started saving on gas.

Even if the thing doesn't work. But it will. Anecdotal evidence shows gas savings from HHO systems from 10% right up to 80%. Scientific studies demonstrate an average saving of 28%. Of course, fleet owners have jumped swiftly on the bandwagon but that doesn't stop the rest of us claiming back $2,000 for each vehicle we own.

The main thing is to get the right instruction guide. You have the option of buying ready-to-fit kits for upwards of $5,000, but that is not necessary at all. There are several excellent guides available which I have personally used to convert 24 cars already.

How Do HHO Systems Work?

There are three components to HHO systems. All the materials are readily available from hardware, plumbing and electrical stores. I order mine from internet retailers.

The critical element is the HHO generator. It normally consists of CPVC housing. An electrolyzer is inserted. Platinum is preferable but stainless steel will do. An electric current is then passed through the water added to the casing and H2O is converted to HHO. The oxyhydrogen element is then released and mixed with oxygen to produce a fuel that burns up to ten times better than standard gasoline. (It works equally well with diesel.)

The second component is a bubbler, or vaporizer. It simply prevents any unwanted vapor entering the carburetor.

The third component is the electrical control unit. It is very easy and cheap to make. It hooks up your electrolyzer to the ignition fuse and grounds all the other wires.

What Are The Advantages Of HHO Systems?

You save a bundle of cash on gas; that is proven. You actually make money via IRS rebates; that is a fact. Some insurance companies offer better premiums; little known, but it is true. Performance in terms of acceleration and torque improve dramatically; this is well known. Engine life is extended by up to 80%; still to be conclusively proven, but it looks that way.

It has come of age, and I'll bet you whatever you want that sales of ipods will be less than those of HHO systems within five years time.

Water Powered Cars and Trucks and HHO

A water powered car is streets ahead of any other energy saving idea you could come across. At least, that is certainly the case if you are a consumer. A water powered car can cut what you pay at the fuel pump by half. It will reduce the harmful emissions from your car by even more. One in every 15,000 households in the US and Europe now owns a water powered car.

The best bit for most of us, if we are not formulating national legislation, is that we save money on gas. I can remember only a year ago that experts were saying oil would never reach $50 a barrel. Now the predictions are it will be at $200 a barrel in the near future. That is frightening. It is also a trend which is unlikely to be reversed.

Oil stocks at sea and on land are still believed to be fairly plentiful. The trouble is it is costing more and more to extract this great resource. The stark fact is that in 50 years time petroleum will likely be costing 20 times what it does today. That is in real terms. It may even be higher than that. How will we be able to drive anywhere? What to do?

Well, water fuel technology has been around for some time now. With the help of the many excellent guides available, any standard gas-run car or truck can be converted to run partially on hydrogen produced from water. At the moment, that is what is meant by a water powered car. Sure, in the next 30 years we will probably see vehicles run entirely on water.

For the time being, water cells are added to an existing gasoline powered combustion engine. These improve the efficiency of the gas engine by about 35%, reduce harmful emissions and make the engine last longer. The great thing is that anyone can add this system to their car with the correct know-how and they can be easily removed in minutes if there are any problems. And that's without any adverse affect on the engine itself.

It really could not be more simple. A decent manual will come in at less than $100. The parts should cost under $300. No obscure tools are required. Personally I have no mechanical experience whatsoever but I turned my first family saloon into a water powered car almost eight years ago. I now have converted two of my kids' cars and several for friends. Quite honestly, they could have done it themselves.

Another great benefit, beyond saving cash on gas, is that you can obtain IRS refunds if you use a water powered car. The States and Europe are scared stiff about relying on foreign oil and want more green cars. They want us to use less. Keep the receipts for your manual and parts to prove you have a water powered car and this is what you can expect from the IRS. Pretty much the same applies in the UK too.

This is what the IRS says:

Deduction limit. The maximum deduction you can claim for qualified clean-fuel vehicle property with respect to any motor vehicle is one of the following.

$50,000 for a truck or van with a gross vehicle weight rating over 26,000 pounds or for a bus with a seating capacity of at least 20 adults (excluding the driver).

$5,000 for a truck or van with a gross vehicle weight rating over 10,000 pounds but not more than 26,000 pounds.

$2,000 for a vehicle not included in either of the above.

Truckers and coach companies are obviously flocking to convert their vehicles to HHO, hydroxy, Klein gas and Browns gas. But we can all do it and get a deductible from the IRS to the tune of $2,000. Considering that to convert your existing vehicle to a water powered car costs under $400, if you pay tax, you will have another $1,600 in your pocket at the end of the year. It's almost unbelievable, but there you go. Good luck with your new water powered car.
