HHO hybrid cars question?

Question

I have a 20 year history in to auto biz. I am thinking about converting a vehicle (gas with fuel injection) into a HHo car.

I have a few concerns; The basis, I suppose, is to build a HHo cell and then send this HHO gas in along with the fresh air intake supply.

If you have a car at idle and suplement its fuel with, let's say, a little hit of starting fluid... the idle increases. This makes me wonder about the kit makers claims that the vehicle computer wil compensate.... Also, I understand the exhaust could be a concern... water it the by-product once hho gas if burned... What about the o2-sensors, rusting the pipes and valves, whould crank case oil become a little milky?

If you have converted a car please address the concerns above. Or any that have not, as long as you have a basic understanding of the issues.

Also please send a "kit maker" link if you have tried it yourself and have had luck. Please explain the kind of result that you got.

Answer 1

You do not have to worry about the condition of the oil in the sump tank if you have "metal" treated your engine.

"Metal" treatment will also remove all the internal friction in the engine.

To allay your fears about internal "friction"; have treated all the 2 stroke engines I have and they are all running on gas without oil. Many more advantages when there is no internal friction.

I do have an hho gen installed on my 1994 ford ranger . i found basic plans by just goggling hho. However my gen is a 300 oz unit with 6 plates. pre install i was only getting approx 17-20 mpg and now I'm getting 24-28 mpg. between 35 & 50% increase on fuel efficency. most of the parts installed on mine came from home depo and advanced auto parts. I have not had my unit on long enough to see any evidence of extra rust in exaust system or any other problems so far. how ever i'm just saying that i was impressed on how easy it was to build and install and it's productivity.

as long as you're getting your engine up to temperature, you don't have to worry about water in the engine. A natural by product of combustion is water, as is burning hydrogen and oxygen. The HHO-assist cars only inject a small amount of hydrogen, so you're not adding much more water vapor.

As long as the engine is getting up to temperature, the oil is much hotter than 100C, so the water is evaporating and going out the tailpipe as steam.

In theory it sounds good, but in reality, its not wise. The oil will get contaminated with h20, and ruin the lower end of the motor, The cylinder walls will wear alot faster, The exhaust would rot quicker. Its just generally not a good idea. Albeit regular internal combustion engines DO produce some water, it is a very minute amount
