Hydrogen Supplement Hho Browns Gas

[terrwilk]

Hi all,

 

With the current trend for ever increasing fuel costs, I was wondering if anyone has or is thinking of trying these hydrogen generator supplement kits.

 

Basically, you convert ordinary water H2O into HHO or browns gas using electricity from the cars electrical system, the gas is sucked into the engine before any turbo at the air intake pipe.

 

On petrol cars there has to be an adjustment to the management system, namely the O2 sensor and the MAP or MAF to fool the ECU.

 

On diesels it is much simpler as there are no O2 sensors and apparently diesels love a bit of hydrogen!!

 

Any thoughts?

It's a beguiling thought isn't - a car that supplements its own fuel by making it itself?

 

However, given the old adage that you don't get something for nothing and even if cars do respond well to a mix of hydrogen and/or petrol diesel, it doesn't alter the fact that to make enough hydrogen to make any difference would take an inordinate amount of electricity and therefore drain off the alternator, and ultimately off the engine, so that any advantage from the added calorific value of the hydrogen would be outweighed by the added drag at the crankshaft, since no alternator is 100% efficient.

 

That's not to say that hydrogen isn't the way forwards, but taking this idea to its extreme, it's just that if a car could be made to run off 100% hydrogen that it had made itself, you'd have invented perpetual motion.
