Comment RSSFun With Hydrogen: HHO Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Generators
15.04.08 # 19:50 # Videos I uploaded # 18 CommentsEverybody 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.
