This is nothing more than the hydrolysis of water.

It has been around for a long time.

The reaction is:


2H20(+ electric current)--> 2H2 + O2 + heat

the heat lost is what makes this ineffective for energy production

Several of my companies patents are based on this principal.

Unless we use solar energy to provide the electricity for the hydrolyis, we would have a net energy loss from other fuel sources.

HOWEVER like i said in my first post, it is an ENDOthermic process. meaning that it uses more energy than it gives off. ...

HHO is chemically bonded differently than h20

finally two people with educated, intelligent comments.

is it possible to run a car on hydrogen, yes but it would require a differnt kind of engine.
Actualy, BMW has a 7-series hydrogen car which the engine can burn either hydrogen or gas. I guess it's a special engine though.

my co-worker bought a kit for his TJ last week and is installing it tomorrow ....


we'll get a real account from an actual jeep owner ..... whether it works or not ....


wouldn't it be worth it even if it improved you MPG by 20%? save over $500-600 a year ....

Default I dunno

Sounds fish to me.... I know if we could, I would have heard some green nutball yellin' into a football stadium camrera by now...

But the guide is fifty bones, on sale untill tomorrow...

So if I get this right,

My engine uses gas for powah... My battery uses the alternator to charge it back up, and the alternator runs off the gas powah...

So this thing-ama-bob, uses my battery to make h20 into HHO (which I know is a different bond) gas, then the HHO gas and my fuel somehow mix up and it is around a 60% gas and 40% HHO.... and if that got around the same if not more mpg. I say this thing would work..... I don't think 40% of my gas goes to power up my altenator, so running this would work



I agree with converting h20 and electricty to make a gas, then burning said gas as a power source would be wasting energy, as heat and the drain off a battery would drop the end result of the gas burning,
ie Like using a battery to make H2O into a gas, then burning that gas as a means to power a charging device to recharge my battery, perpetual energy, due to loss of heat energy, but I am not doin' that. I waste gas to make my engine go.
But if you use the HHO as a supplement to your gas, so I think this may actually work..... like watering down milk to make it last longer....

I dunno. If I buy the guide thing and anyone else will help split the bill I will e-mail it to anyone who wants it....

I remember seeing something on that show unsolved mysteries years ago. guy invented a vehical that ran off ordinary tap water, and did a top speed of 70 mph. reason they aired it was cause the guy, his car and his plans all vanished never to be seen again...

If someone is interested I have the plans for free fopr the Browns gas I have given them to several other forum mebers but forgive me if I don't get back to you ASAP. just send me an email to JDRozsi@hotmail.com which is my persoanl email with a SUBJECT HHO plans.. I will reply and send the plans it is a PDF file that is about 88 pages long.... it requires some thought process and design on your own to play with but gives the basics and yes it does work on regular gas and diesel engines as a supplement to save on gas...
