RE: Do HHO Gas Generators Work?
My experiences as they come to me.
1. Remark to DARB: HHO is not Hydrogen: The combustion is markedly different. Hydrogen alone has 3X flame speed of regular gasoline. HHO has 9X the flame speed. You are confused and need to study what you are commenting on.
2. Remark to KEN:Alternators or any other form of electrical generator do NOT produce electricity if it is not used, so no load, no consumption. The vehicles electrical system may have enough capacity to supply an additional 20, 30 or even 100 amps. You are confused and need to study what you are commenting on.
3. At 23 times lighter than ambient air and 9X the flame speed, by injecting a small amount of HHO through on board electrolysis without manipulation the OEM computer, the engine (diesel or gas) is able to operate somewhat leaner(without detonation) The injected HHO, by mixing with the fuel air mixture increases flame speed back to required levels thereby reducing detonation, allows the vehicle to perform the same task with less fuel.
4. Lots of people can produce cells of different shapes and sizes with an array of outputs but in my experience, if the output of the cell does not follow the fuel consumption in a somewhat constant ratio, the results are all over the place. So what I'm saying is, for the best results there needs to be variability in the output of the cell. Not just a PWM the the driver adjusts themselves.
5. As far as electrolyte and all of the above links for HHO sales groups, NOBODY addresses the the issue of the electrolyte freeze problems with any degree of intelligence. If you don't believe me, go ahead and write or call anyone and ask "What do I do for cold weather?" I'm not talking 20-30 degrees here, I am talking real life like below zero and then some. Typical dishonest answers will mention using alcohol or wind shield washer fluid(alcohol). This works fine till it gets cold, then it evaporates within a few short miles(alcohol evaporates quickly) Then you're back to the same problem of freezing. CleanBatteries AT gmail.com has this issue dealt with well below zero.
6. Zero Fossil Fuel mentioned above has made enormous contributions to HHO and it's research but with regards to the cell designs, specifically the stack type or "dry" cell that keeps everyone drooling. They are flawed in practical design. If, for any reason your electrolyte turns a bit scummy, this stack cell is a perfect catch all for the crud and then you have a shorted cell and then you have to take it apart and so on and so on.
7. Why does electrolyte turn scummy? Don't have enough space here to mention everything but two scenarios come to mind as the biggest culprits. One is individual cell voltage. It really doesn't matter what type of stainless you put in there, if it's over volted, it will corrode. Period. Second is the electrolyte, using baking soda is a perfect example of cows following each other off a cliff. Ask yourself and each other, why do we use baking soda (scientifically). Let me add this: Sodium Bicarbonate in electrolysis is not very stable at all, it breaks down especially at slightly warm temperatures and produces carbon dioxide until you are left with minuscule amounts of Sodium Carbonate, so do yourself a favor and start out with Sodium Carbonate(home depot-PH up), I'm not saying that this will fix all your problems but it will help. At least enough to have some successful experiments.
8. Comments: http://www.hydrogenht.com/news.html Fakers! They do not build anything themselves. Just slick marketers that have been slapped by the Canadian government for shady schemes. Could not open http://www.chechfi.ca/ on two different computers. Then there is http://www.hydrorunner.com Very expensive but seems evasive as far as showing an actual product. Good concept but commercially no practical beyond Florida because it has absolutely no freeze protection.
Later Y'all
BTW Take a look at youtube http://www.youtube.com/hhonofreeze

RE: Do HHO Gas Generators Work?
HHO generators really work. I used one on my 5.9 liter beast, and i have increased my overall milage from 15.5 to almost 19mpg. The kit I got was a Max 1400 from vadaenergy.com

RE: Do HHO Gas Generators Work?
Simply put, the alternator is already producing the electricity and if you don't use it then its wasted energy! Just like the military and war we already pay the military and all its cost the only real extra expense is the expendables - bombs, missiles, etc. So, if your producing the power why not put it to use and stop wasting the power?

OK, I am an aircraft mechanic for the Navy. I have made one of these units, its not ready for install yet. This is a custom design, not a store bought unit. I will be running normal tap water and baking soda (1 tbsp per gallon). I will be installing this in my 1986 Toyota Celica ST.
This car normally gets between 28 and 32 MPG. I drive 55 miles each way to work, so this will be a very good way for me to test it out, flat out cruising on the highway. I am unbiased, and will report this as it happens, no padding number or leaning out the engine air fuel ratio. This is going to be a bolt it on, install a controller unit, and report the differences test.
I am doing this since my commute is so large, and I want to find a way to increase my mileage. My unit is made from aircraft grade stainless steel, and black 4" sewer Plastic tubing.
So far the I have hooked up this unit to 12 volts, and yes they do produce a flammable gas. It looks similar to that of shaking up a can of soda. I have heard a ton of people selling wire, or generators telling everyone these work, and a ton of people looking for every excuse for them not to saying no they don't.
I am not selling this unit, its plans, nor anything. I get nothing out of this test other than personal knowledge that I am willing to share. So Please email me at ydeardorff AT hotmail.com if you wish to hear more about my tests. I will give an honest answers, and as unbiased as I can report on what I noticed in all details.

RE: Do HHO Gas Generators Work?
They work, and no you do not get "more" energy you get different energy. being that HHO is 3 times more explosive and hotter burning then gas a small amount added to the air intact allows you to "lean" the gas while maintaining power and speed.
Let people say you cannot do it, and laugh all the way to the bank. It is a learning process, each car is different unless starting off the lot new. Simply adding it to your air intact should increase the burn and at a minimum decrease emissions, though it will not be until you get the hardware to decrease fuel flow will you see major results. Buy solid, it will cost you time and energy to make it, but make sure they are a good company, no glass and cheap wire.

email is blgordon AT uncg.edu For the people trying these, they do work. To help eliminate the brown (rusty water) start your solution with distilled water and baking soda. Also, use 316L stainless steel wire it has the least amount of carbon and will rust the slowest. If anyone has any problems or need any of the wire email me...I could only find it in a 25 lb spool so I have a ton of it left. Thanks and Good luck guys!

RE: Do HHO Gas Generators Work?
My advice is to keep trying if they work for you. The only way to learn is by trying. And don't give up. Also build your own. The greatest inventions have been created by regular people. I am sure a lot of people thought Henry Ford was nuts when he made his horseless carriage. I would be wary of the ebay ones. They may just want a fast buck.

RE: Do HHO Gas Generators Work?
I don't know about scams for "gullible" people, but my husband has been working on a hydrogen generator for a couple of months. We ran the car on "assist" hydrogen for about a week. It does work in that it assists in the mileage you can get, but the challenge to overcome right now is the "brown" water (which is rust in the water) has to be changed quite often. So, the generator can be built - as a previous poster mentioned, check out YouTube - there is a world of info there. And yes, Stanley Meyers did seem to have the answer, the rumor is that because he refused to sell his "invention" he was killed and all plans were either stolen or destroyed. So my advice is rather than buy plans from someone else, check out YouTube, and build your own. As with any new product, there is a lot of trial and error involved. And he has spent hours and hours and hours at the computer doing research.

There are many substandard products out there. These three seem to be the top of the line:
This shows independent testing results: http://www.hydrorunner.com/test-data.html
This one has been selling to fleets and industrial users for many years. Testimonials are essentially independent testing results http://www.chechfi.ca/sotesti.htm#
This one is publicly traded and is in process of ongoing esting of Hydrogen Fuel Injection (HFI) by one of the argest suppliers of vehicles to the U.S. armed forces http://www.hydrogenht.com/news.html

RE: Do HHO Gas Generators Work?
There is something called a hydrogen generator, and it WORKS, I don't know if it is the same as a HHO generator. My husband is in the process of fabricating one as I type.

RE: Do HHO Gas Generators Work?
There seems to be a lot of controversy over this floating around, the short and long answer is yes and no. Small HHO generators can improve your existing gas mileage by 30-40% if installed correctly, but as for a full conversion, it isn't possible through electrolysis. The Only way to achieve a full HHO running vehicle is to build a cell that produces more than 90 Liters of gas per minute where as the current offerings can produce 1.5-5 liters depending on it's size and power consumption. Production of 90+ liters per minute can only be reached when the combination of resonate frequency of the water vapor, combined air, and injector can be synchronized to split H2O molecules with very little power consumption. The only person thought to have done this is Stanley Meyers, but he is now dead. (he supposedly had a dune buggy that ran on water) My advice: Save your money on buying kits and do a little research and build your own, a great place to start is to go to Youtube and search for a guy named "ZeroFossilFuel" he's been perfecting his cells for quite some time and has had a lot of success with low power high output cells. Try some ideas out, experiment who knows you might stumble upon the secret to the myers cell (a cell that can produce well over 5 liters a minute on 0.5 amps through resonate vibrations.)

RE: Do HHO Gas Generators Work?
It is impossible to get more energy out of a device than you put in. When ever the price of gas goes up there are people ready to sell bogus items to take advantage of the gullible. You can type in hho gas generator at goggle and get all kinds of people selling these generators. My advise is save your money.
