Is water hydrogen generation a good source of power for a car. Will it hurt internal engine parts?

Question

any good reliable information on this will help me very much . Real answers please. Prefer answer from someone that is running one installed in their car or truck. Also mileage incresase if you can, and any extra horsepower. up side and down side.

Answer 1

Hydrogen itself is an unstable gas and can be dangerous to handle. But in these water powered car systems (I mean the real ones out there), they show you how to turn pure water(H2O) into Brown's Gas (HHO). Apparently, HHO gas is more stable and safer to burn in your car engine together with gasoline.

As a matter of fact, it will help in burning your fuel more efficiently and helps in keeping your engine "clean". The water4gas system, if you do it yourself, is not expensive and is an irreversible process. You can try it yourself. Some of the guys even provide support on how to use their water-for-gas method.

Answer 2

You need extremely pure and distilled water to produce hydrogen gas from it. Also, hydrogen gas, itself, doesn't have as much power as gasoline and you would probably need a huge tank or find a way to easily produce liquid hydrogen

Answer 3

No, probably, and it's a scam.

Read about the terms "energy balance" and "perpetual motion" until you understand.

Answer 4

The kits contain a very basic Hydrogen Fuel cell,j that consist of two stainless steel plates in a water bottle. 12 volt wires from the alternator is attached to the SS plates and the 12 volt current breaks down water to it's two components, Hydrogen and Oxygen.  

Hydrogen is combustionable as fuel, however since it isn't separated from the Oxy. there is some power loss when the H & O are both added to the intake manifold.

The other thing you need to understand is as your engine increases in speed, it requires more fuel. The fuel cell produces a consistant amount of H & O. It doesn't increase the amount of H & O as the engines fuel need increases.

So at idle, you get optimum benefit from your fuel cell. At highway speeds, the amount of H & O as a percent of the fuel drops dramatically until it becomes almost negliable.

Example using numbers for easy understanding: at idle your engine uses 3 gal. of fuel per hour. If one of those gallons is provided by H. then you are using 1 gal. H, and 2 gal. gas. per hour. The H is providing 33 1/3 % of your fuel needs.

Now drive your engine at 70 mph. and the fuel needs increase to 10 gal. per hour. The fuel cell is still providing only 1 gal. of H per hour. That means the H is providing only 10% of your fuel needs.

On actual road test, we found the devices only gave us a 2 1/2 mpg increase.

Answer 5

Hydrogen is an excellent source for power.  It won't hurt the engine parts, guaranteed.  It's not hard to install and you can do it yourself within a hour or two. Honestly, YES it does work. I have done this to my 96 Saturn and currently get about 50 miles per gallon.

I wrote a blog review about it here:

It's very simple. You don't change your engine or computer. A quart-size (95O cc) container is placed somewhere under the hood. You fill it with DISTILLED WATER and a little bit of BAKING SODA. The device gets vacuum and electricity (12 Volts) from the engine, and produces HHO gas (Hydrogen+Oxygen). The HHO gas is supplied to the engine's intake manifold or carburetor as shown below.

Hope this helps.

Answer 6

I haven't actually used the kits or read to much about them as far as damage to the engine it is doubtful. First the amount of hydrogen made by these kits are probably pretty small amounts, Hydrogen does cause high strength steels to become brittle with exposure however it isn't likely your intake manifold is made from anything more then cast iron or aluminum so I wouldn't worry to much.

Answer 7

These things are SCAMS!!!

Why are people falling for this.  The science is IMPOSSIBLE!

It is just a HOAX.

My God!

Answer 8

Hydrogen reacts with many common metals at high temperatures and makes them porous and brittle.  It can damage your car.  And if those hydrogen generator things worked they would be standard equipment.
