  1. What's a hydrogen generator? Are you talking about fuel cells?.....Or hydrogen run vehicles?  If you mean either, then the answer is yes, they work.


  2. AMMM... plss clarify your question.....i think its incomplete...

  3. If you mean do they improve your gas mileage, the answer is maybe, a little. Like 3% maybe. But not as much as I have heard claimed. Nothing like 50% or even 20%.

  4. Well they make hydrogen and oxygen in very small amounts, but they won't increase the efficiency of your car.

    It just a con that been around a LONG time.

  5. For a short amount of time, but yes.

  6. As long as you keep putting in hydrogen, they will do work.

  7. do you mean, can you get a tank of salt water, and plug in a current and create hydrogen  at one terminal and oxygen at the other?  sure.

    or, do you mean, can you do that process in your car, and have your car run better?  nope.  but several folks will be more than happy to take lots of money from you and promise you that your car will nearly fly when you buy and install their system.

    maybe you ought to be more specific when you post a question.

  8. They are cheep and easy to make.  They are not hard to install.

    And they do not do any thing new spark plugs would not do.

    Hydrogen is VERY easy to ignite. Then it will ignite the gasoline.

    Try it.  Tell us how much you save.

  9. Two electrodes are inserted into water and then a DC voltage is applied.  Hydrogen is bubbled off one electrode and oxygen is bubbled from the other.  All that is left is to collect the hydrogen for use as a fuel later.

    Sounds simple, and it kinda is.  When in high school, a buddy of mine and I used to do this and fill up balloons so that they would float.  It was kinda fun.

  10. Hydrogen generators for cars and trucks are becoming increasingly popular. And, why not, since these units can increase gas mileage, increase engine performance and decrease emissions all at the same time.

    The idea behind onboard hydrogen generators for cars and trucks is that they use electricity provided by the car to electrolyze a small amount of water and inject the resulting hydrogen and oxygen gases into the vehicle's intake system. The hydrogen and oxygen displace some of the fossil fuels in the cylinders, help the gasoline or diesel fuel to burn more efficiently, increase power and decrease pollutants coming out the tailpipe.

    Below is a list of some of the more popular hydrogen generator kits and DIY systems that are currently on the market.

    Hydrogen Generator Kits for Cars and Light Trucks

    Hydrogen Boost is a complete system including hose, wiring kit, electronic control circuit and manuals. Sells for between $1,000 - $4,000 depending upon type of vehicle.

    Hydro Assist Fuel Cell is actually made up of three components that help to achieve high fuel efficiency from any car. The three components are an hydrogen fuel cell (generator), an vaporizer and an optimizer. Prices are not published, so you have to request a quote.

    Green Future Technology offers a hydrogen generator kit for gasoline and diesel powered cars and trucks. Prices start at $1,095.

    Hydrorunner G3 - manufactured by the owners of Check Engine Service Center, this device can be installed and serviced by this company for those in the Tampa, Florida area. The price is between $3,500 and $10,000 depending upon type of vehicle.

    National Vapor Industries - offers several different types of units and currently has an application pending with the California Air Resources Board (CARB).



    Hydrogen DIY Systems

    Water 4 Gas is an inexpensive do-it-yourself project for those with mild to moderate mechanical ability. Two books will show car owners how to use water, transform it into hydrogen and oxygen and inject the gases into the intake manifold of their vehicles for increased gas mileage and decrease emissions.

    Fuel Trips offers plans to let consumers easily convert their cars to use water as an additive to any internal combustion engine. One trip to the hardware store is all it takes.

    Drive with Water Fuel - Geared towards novices who barely know how to tinker with an automobile, this step-by-step guide is short and to the point.

    Smack's Booster is a DIY system that shows garage inventors how to build the electrolysis unit step-by-step.



    Hydrogen Generator Kits for Light Trucks Only

    Get Hydro Power is a system for light trucks that mounts in the toolbox or bed of the vehicle. The systems start at $2,095 and go up to $11,490.



    Hydrogen Generator Kits for Large Trucks

    Mileage Maker is a system for large diesel trucks to increase performance and gas mileage while decreasing emissions. Will increase gas mileage 20 to 30-percent depending upon driving habits. Prices start at $299.

    Hydro Power Pak is a retrofit system for semi-tractor trailer rigs that will electrolyze water and inject hydrogen and oxygen into the intake manifold. This will increase engine performance and decrease emissions.

    Hy-Drive - hydrogen generation system (HGS) for the mining and trucking industry.

    Canadian Hydrogen Energy Company - Offers hydrogen fuel injection (HFI) technology for class 7 and 8 diesel trucks.

    Hydrogen Hybrid Technologies - Offers HFI LX and SX series units for larger and smaller trucks.

    Go Green Fuel Systems uses electrolysis of water to increase gas mileage in diesel trucks. The offer a free flow system that has been field-tested around the Dallas area.



    As you can see, there are quite a few choices of hydrogen generators for cars and trucks and more are being developed all the time. With gasoline prices at all-time highs and global warming a worldwide threat, many people are looking for a way to use less fuel now. The devices listed on this page are a step in the right direction. For other hydrogen generator types please check out the page listed as many different systems exist in today's marketplace.

  11. Yes.

    important is what is its techno-economic feasibility and whether it would be :

    (1) An additional energy resource

    or

    (2) A substitute for fossil fuels
