Is running your car with water through electrolysis really true and effecective?

Question

i have read tons and tons of articles on the net about the technology of running your car on part water and part fuel through electrolysis and to the intake manifold, is it really true? or only scams and bullshits? if it is true, for every plus there is always a minus, so what are it's disadvantages? I am very curious about this technology. I come from the Philippines, are the materials needed available here? Our fuel price for Premium unleaded as of July 28,2008 is around $5 to the gallon if converted since we use liters. Your help would really be highly appreciated.. Thank you.

Answer 1

I have been researching this technology for some time and feel that the technology claims more than it can deliver.

Here is some real information.  I found this site to be a major source of "GOOD" information about fuel saving devices and fuel additives. He has a page on Hydrogen Converters that is very good.

There is also some information to be gleaned on "Hypermiling" which is a techique of driving which is supposed to help in gas consumption.

I just asked a similar question to find out if a HHo conversion kit would work. I see the manuals everywhere on the web but cant find anyone who has actually tried one. Simply search " Brown gas" or " HHO gas" and you will get a bunch of sites. You tube even has a news clip of a guy using it. Sorry I am not answering your question but hopefully someone will answer both of ours.

As a matter of fact, yes. I know it might be hard to believe, but, it does work. Although I have not done this myself, I do have a few people that I know, that have done this. For one, my brother has an inlaw who had put one on his vehicle. He saw results instantly. He then took it on a road trip and he was averaging 89 miles per gallon. He is now averaging 100 miles per gallon. I think that is pretty good!

My dad's friend has put one of these kits on his vehicle and instantly saw results also. He went from 25 to 45 miles per gallon.

My brother goes to WyoTech (an automotive school) and they have built one of these in his class and tried it out on one of the vehicles in his class, and, it worked! He is now in the process of putting one of these on his truck.

My dad is planning on putting one of these on his truck also.

Another thing that I was worried about was rusting. And this is what I found out: Rust isn't an issue. The water that is used in the process is broken down into its basic elements (H2O means one hydrogen molecule and 2 oxygen molecules) so what you are left with is pure oxygen and hydrogen gas. No water actually reaches the engine. During combustion when the fuel is compressed and burned, the oxygen and hydrogen are also "burned". After the combustion stage the gases that are left are pushed out of the exhaust. Only when the molecules are cooled down out in the open atmosphere can they reform to create water. In theory the life of the engine is actually extended by using hydrogen as it burns "cooler" than gasoline.

Basically, a lot of it comes down to the perfect mixture of electrolytes.

Now, I know of one person who has bought the Run Your Car With Water, and they say that it is well written and the plans are very in depth.

I know another person who has bought the Water4Gas manual and it seems to be a lot easier to understand and it has an easier design for the hho kit.

I haven't heard of any problems yet!  Hope this has helped.

Answer 4

Key word is "electrolysis"

Electrolysis consumes more energy then it produces...simple as that...and very well documented

This is not to say that there are other possible processes of separating water into hydrogen & oxygen which might work...other then the very well studied electrolysis

Hello John Benson Y

I’ve read one of the "Run your car on water" eBooks – I thought the instructions were extremely easy to follow, especially considering I have very limited mechanical knowledge. So I'm sure you shouldn't have a problem installing the kit.

So basically answering your question, yes they do work. However, depending on the car you install the fuel cells into will determine how efficient the car will become and how much money you’ll save on running costs.

For example, I installed the hydrogen fuel cells into my son's 1989 Camry Ultima with his help as a sought of bonding experience, also to make sure we didn't stuff up my car haha

Anyways we currently run the car as a water/petrol burning hybrid - we're not completely sure how much money we've saved but my son is convinced he's saving around 40% on running costs which over time is a lot of money, especially for him.

To summarise; yes it does work, how much it will cost depends greatly on the materials you use – altogether it didn’t costs us that much and it was really easy to do (even for somebody like me)

Finally, you may have noticed that there are several eBooks on the subject currently available on the internet, however most of which are a waste of time. Below you’ll find a link to a review of the 3 best eBooks on how to convert your car to a water burning hybrid. So if you want to run your car on water and save a bundle of money on running costs then I advise you to check it out. It’s what I used and I haven’t looked back since

Yes, this does work and is very effective. My husband ordered a kit that they advertise on the web and put it in his car. It was pretty easy even for a novice like himself. He went from getting 15mpg to 24-25mpg on his Ford Explorer(A big SUV).
