    Hydrogen is a great option for the concept of free energy.     I built my first hydrogen cell about 5 years ago and now currently run 2 trucks, my home hot water heater, home stove and home generator on hydrogen for free with caught rain water and the help of a $10 solar panel.  I offer a step by step DIY guide to walk anyone interested threw the process. You can find it at http://www.agua-luna.com/hydrogen.html or you can email me.

    There are basically 3 safe ways to make and use it... chemically, electrically and molecularly, the first 2 being easier so I'll only discuss them here. The fallowing steps were taking directly out of a DIY guide I offer to those who would like to run their vehicles or home on hydrogen safely. The entire guide is available at http://www.agua-luna.com/guides.html

        On demand h2 generators are a bit different from the Hollywood versions like seen Chain Reaction with Keanu Reeves, that tend to explode violently every time a film is being made. However when used in an on-demand system there is no storage of hydrogen and oxygen in its gas form, only liquid (water) and is only transformed into gas “on-demand” in small cylinder size amounts. It’s actually safer then gasoline as it doesn’t evaporate, creating explosive fumes in the tank like gas.

        Chemically

        1. You’ll need a 6inch x 1ft schedule 40 pvc pipe. With pvc cement glue a cap on the bottom and use a s***w on cap for the top. Drill a small hole (1/4inch or so) in the side close to the top, s******g in a small copper shut off valve. Place a few feet of stranded (food grade is good) flex hose to the valve and into the air intake of your engine (carburetor or fuel injections).

        2. Now crunch up a couple aluminum cans (beer cans, soda cans etc) and drop them into the pvc pipe, along with a couple cups of lye (Red Devil drain opener has lye in it, some Clorox and Drano’s do to).

        3. Then simply add water, s***w on the top and wait a few minutes.

        What happens in simplicity is that aluminum and lye don’t really get along so they battle, and as always the innocent civilians (water H2O) that the most casualties, by giving up its hydrogen and oxygen. This then builds up in the void of the pipe and is ready to be vented into your engine, by opening the valve. You may need to start your engine on gas then switch it off after the hydrogen starts burning.

        Electrical is a bit easier then Chemically.

        1. Simply take a small solar panel 1.5 amps is what I use ($9 at harborfreight.com), connect the 2 wires from the panel +- to 2 conductors (carbon cores of batteries work well, just be careful removing it from the jacket), but any conductive material will work ie. Copper, aluminum, steel, etc.

        2. Drop the wires into a water tank (I use 55gal drums), make sure they don’t touch each other.

        3. Drill a small hole (1/4inch or so) in the side close to the top, s******g in a small copper shut off valve. Place a few feet of stranded (food grade is good) flex hose to the valve and into the air intake of your engine (carburetor or fuel injections).

        4. Then simply add water, s***w on the top cap and wait.

        After a few hours tiny bubbles will form and rise off one conductor (that’s hydrogen) and even smaller bubbles that just looks like foam will rise off the other (oxygen). I don’t remember which likes the positive and which likes the neg hydrogen or the oxygen.

        The third method is more complicated and is what I use for my vehicles. It’s just a modified Joe’s Cell, there’s a step by step DIY guide available to walk you threw the process here http://www.agua-luna.com/hydrogen.html It also covers the other 2 methods described in more detail.

    Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at http://www.agua-luna.com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.

  2. You can use electrical power from your cars alternator to produce hydrogen via electrolysis of water.  The only problem is, the amount of electrical energy you need will exceed the energy you will get by burning the hydrogen.  The energy required to generate this electricity will come from additional fuel consumption to turn the alternator against the increased load, and as with all processes, there are inefficiencies so the gasoline burned will contain more energy than you will produce from the alternator.  In summary, this idea involves the following energy transformations:

    1) Chemical energy to heat

    2) Heat to mechanical energy

    3) Mechanical energy to electricity

    4) electricity to chemical energy (i.e. hydrogen)

    5) Chemical energy to heat

    Since there will be loses all along this daisy chain, you will end up burning more gasoline.

  3. That would be a neat car to have but be careful liquid hydrogen is a lot more volatile than gas. And if the tank were punctured you would either go up like a rocket or you you would turn into an iceberg.

  4. U mean u want to use nuclear fuel....bro!!!! i think it too difficult to bring nuclear reaction into control to use for domestic purpose...it can cost huge huge amount..u search with "nuclear reactor"  this will tell u the whole abt nuclear generator..

  5. hydrogen is not feasible for your car... hydrogen needs to be stored at -273 C... or highly pressurised.

    Not to mention the platinum required in the fuel cell required to run it.

    You will need to build a hydrogen concept car from scratch.

    This is why you cannot run your standard car from hydrogen.

    You can change the oxgen fuel ratio with certain chipsets, which will make your car burn more efficient however it will not produce hydrogen that you can burn and use.

    TIP: Dont buy guides from the internet that promise you "free" energy, especially for hydrogen to use in your car. IT WILL BE A SCAM. They will blame you for it not working or not following the guide properly or not having the right part.

    There is no way to prove them wrong or get a refund from your money

    Even fuel efficency is becoming a scam.

    You wouldnt buy plans for a flying machine in the 1800's so dont buy hydrogen converters for your car now.

  6. There are many sites that supply plans for supplemental hydrogen generators. They are very easy to make and install. If used as an addition to existing fossil fuels, the process is extremely cost-effective and beneficial. Toxic exhaust fumes are reduced to a minimum.

    I purchased the ebook from the site below last week. It contains over 300 pages of important info regarding this 90 yr old technology, including DIY plans. It is exceptionally well put together, with links to many other resources and books on the subject included. I am in the process of building my own generator, and anticipate building quite a few more for my friends and relatives.

    Don't listen to the negatives.....do some research and learn the truth!

    There is also a company in Canada selling generators ready to fit, at a good price. They offer a 3 year guarantee on their product! Scam?? Hardly.

    Good luck with going green.
