Everybody knows that rednecks love explosions and do it yourself projects that use potentially explosive substances. Another thing rednecks enjoy is cars and trucks that make a lot of noise, or that have been modified. What better way for us Alberta Rednecks to spend our time than combining our hobbies?
I already know what you think you are going to see! Sorry to disappoint you, we didn’t blow up a truck. What we did was build an HHO fuel cell, then hook it to the truck to reduce fuel consumption and lower emissions.
Everyone these days is concerned with the price of fuel. I don’t know what it costs in the US right now, but in Canada it is $1.15 a litre and up. Theoretically, by attaching an HHO hydrogen generator to your vehicle you can make the fuel burn more evenly and more completely. This will increase your miles per gallon.
What we show in this video:
1. our fuel cell submersed in pure water, hooked up to 2 amps DC producing hydrogen and oxygen (one hydrogen to two oxygen, an explosive air fuel mixture)
2. our hydrogen generator in it’s case, producing HHO which is captured in a jar underwater to measure output per minute
3. the HHO fuel cell producing a hydrogen oxygen mixture that is bubbled into soapy water. The bubbles are collected and lit, producing a loud bang. And it is really loud! I mean shake your head earsplitting from only a small amount. The force contained in hydrogen is huge.
4. the hydrogen fuel cell producing, and the hose attached to a Ford half ton. Not the newest vehicle we have available. We are still in the testing stage so expendable motors first!
Warning : if you are going to try this at home, be very careful! One of our first hydrogen generators worked great for several trials. It exploded inside my partner’s house when he was testing it, and he said he was lucky to still have windows or eardrums afterwards. The water level was too low, exposing the wires. A loose connection inside the HHO fuel cell caused a spark, and as I mentioned before the hydrogen generator creates an explosive gas mixture. We have since corrected the design flaw.
If you are going to hook one of these up to your car, make sure you understand the process first. Or, use a vehicle that you don’t need to get you to work!Check out this link if you would like to learn more about HHO hydrogen generators and fuel cells and what other are building.
Dude I don’t care how much the price of gas goes up to there is now way I am letting my husband do that to my car. LOL
Is it sad that my brain hurts after reading this? lol I won’t be trying that at home, on my Saturn.
Corrina’s last blog post..Yes, Please.
It’s true enough, you gotta be brave to modify your own car, as well as you need to know what you are doing. As you may notice, we didn’t put the unit on my brand new toyota pickup! At least, not yet….
I got you covered, Mr. Ebl.

I am really excited about this.
When I first got back from Dessert Storm I got to thinking how much time, aggravation and insect bites I could have been spared if someone would just get to work on alternate fuels.
I even drew up some primitive plans for a hydrolysis engine but I never did anything with it like you did.

I don’t have a truck, but this seems like it would still work great for a regular automobile. The problem is the chance of explosions. I love explosions, really, but not when one is tearing off my arm.
Great! Finally people started to think about alternative ways. By the way, I converted my Chevrolet on my own using this guide, I recommend it to everyone who is interested in converting his car to run on water.
johntee’s last blog post..Do Hydrogen Devices Really Improve Your Mileage?
I have built three and am curentltly useing one in my chevy 1500 (88model) noticed a significant change in mileage,perfomance,power,excelleration ect.
This is a testemony that yes it does work!
I am 46 and have been in the auto industry for a long time! TRUST ME THIS WORKS!
Not sure if i want to try that one myself. I am interested in hondas new home hyrogen maker. They are suppose to make a product that makes hydrogen at home so you can fill up your fuel cell car. I hope it uses electicity to break water down not natural gas.
I have built two HHO cells and currently testing on a vehicle.. (98 ford windstar) This HHO process is very simple, anyone can do it as long as they actually try..(tammy) I seem to be having a problem with the o2 sensers on the windstar. The computer is calculating the lean fuel ratio due to the HHO gas and is over compensating to make the engine run rich. I am not getting the efficiency that is capable. I may have to send the computer(in the car) away to be recallibrated. Any suggestion on this subject…

This is such a good idea, what improvements have you seen to the milage.
I was considering converting a petrol genearator to run on hydrogen, free electricity.

This seems like a great idea in theory, however like your trials show, explosions seem very likely. I am all about environmentally friendly ways to save energy, so just be careful if your going to try this.
Do these things actually work? Everytime I’ve seen an advertisement online for them, I’ve just written them off as scams. Like the lady who commented earlier said, I won’t be trying this on my Saturn Ion.
This is awesome! This is what the world needs. With a little more research and testing, I can’t see how HHO cells will not become more prevelant.
As a card carrying redneck, I like the idea of “on demand” hydrogen. Containing and controlling that stuff is a job for people with the right equipment to do it. A balloon full of that stuff contains enough power to take a hand right off an arm- to say it is dangerous is an understatement. To say it is dangerous but fun is closer to the truth.
In Australia the government provides a big subsidy for people who convert to gas in their car. But they have a hidden agenda — now the price of gas is skyrocketing!
I agree with you completely. Until we make improvements with Hydrogen technology, it could be a while until we find a truly efficient carbon-neutral vehicle.

I heard some physicists used pure oxygen to grill with. It melted the grill.

i completely agree with all previous commenter and think that hydrogen is available in sufficient amount and if we try to make the alternative to other fuels than its better for us.
This is really a great thing about the green environment. I think this is post is very important for the human welfare. I like this post and truly speaking a appreciate your thinking. Anyways keep it up and keep continue with your valuable thoughts.

Headlines do make a big difference. I like the paragraph about trying out different headlines to see which turns out to be the most appealing. I do the same thing when writing articles, just in a different way. I use Google trends to compare the most searched terms, that way I can write article titles that more people are looking for on average.

Comfortably, the post is actually the sweetest on this deserving topic. I concur with your conclusions and will eagerly look forward to your upcoming updates.
alot of people have considered doing this to there car yet there are some element they need to reasearch how much gas to produce where to put the unit and saftey precautions. thus being the unit that creates the hydrogen pmw plus wave manager,( limits the current to the cell) also they have units that can be made to tick the o2 sensers so the comp thinks its getting too rick and leans the mixture. also im working on a wet and dry cell the dry cell seems to be for efficent thn wet but theres always some where to start. also the ss is from lowes wall blanks.
