HHO car conversion has become incredibly simple since 2004. Now, in 2009, there is a boom in the number of people converting their cars to water. With the plethora of convenient and easy-to-implement instructions available, no one should miss out on getting their car running for half the cost of filling it up with gas each week.
The HHO car conversion is still a hybrid system. It consists of a kit that adds a form of hydrogen and oxygen to gasoline in a standard gas or diesel engine. It is perfectly legal and safe. But before we get into how it all works, some other benefits of converting to hydropower in cars should be noted.
HHO Car Conversion Data
Important to many people is the fact that a system that uses a combination of hydrogen (Brown’s gas, to be precise) and gasoline extends the life of engines by up to 70%. It also makes the engine run quieter.
Warranties are not affected by adding an HHO kit. The structure and function of the motor is not affected at all by the introduction of this apparatus.
Due to the way the oxyhydrogen burns, the performance of the vehicle is improved. That’s not about efficiency. It means that acceleration and torque increase.
While you will still have harmful emissions from the gasoline used, the only byproduct of the hydrogen and oxygen combination is water, making that part of your fuel consumption green and clean.
Savings on the purchase of gasoline range from 25% to 60%. This is the main reason why most people opt for an HHO car conversion.
Tax incentives are offered if you convert a car to HHO power. $2,000 for a standard car and up to $50,000 for a truck over 26,000 lbs.
An HHO kit manual is required. It must be less than $70. Materials are less than $150. If you’re not mechanically minded, a mechanic might charge around $200 to build and fit the kit. Alternatively, you can go for an off-the-shelf kit, but these start at $5,000 and are no more effective than making your own.
How HHO car conversion works in simple terms
A hydrogen cell is created, often using CPVC as the casing. An electrolyte, often platinum or stainless steel, is inserted. More frequently, what is known as a proton exchange membrane is used. A small amount of water is introduced into the cell. An electric current is passed through the water, drawn from the car battery. H2O becomes HHO. The hydrogen atoms then split into negative electrons and positively charged protons. Brown’s gas is produced and induced, with an oxygen mixture, into the engine for use as a fuel.
The chemistry may sound complicated, but physically making the cell is not. Anyone can start saving money today, instead of paying exorbitant gas prices, by doing their own HHO car conversion.
