Hydrogen Gas Cars Wirings Secrets For You!
The hydrogen gas cars wirings are important if you want to make HHO cell project to be successful. As outlined before, having a HHO generator alone will not save you gas unless your vehicle has no computer in the engine. Otherwise, all those electronic devices like the PWM, EFIE,Map/Mass sensor enhancer, on and off switches, relays, gages, fuses or circuit breakers…etc are required to maximize your gas savings results.
From watching various Utube videos, the hydrogen gas cars HHO cell generator with proper output alone can increase 5%-15% gas mileage on carburated or diesel engines. However when applied to fuel injected engines, most results showed dismal failure. As soon as PWM is added in the process, a dramatic increase happens but with the addition of the other devices, the mileage gains increase as much as 20% to 50%. Still others can surpass that with bigger capacity HHO cell by having more HHO cell plates or extra HHO cells and bubblers.(To date, ATS has not physically verified this but knowing the efficiency of hydrogen gas, this has to be expected).
NOTE:
On hydrogen gas cars wirings, the only way you can guaranty success is to continually test and tweak your engine computer and HHO output setting until you get the best result. Buying a complete HHO generator system package that was researched extensively by a HHO vendor that will give you a better edge instead of trying to start from scratch (and if you get a lot of time in your hands, you might do the research yourself but be prepared to get frustrated).
Shown on the Utube video HERE is the basic hydrogen gas cars wirings. Note the movie maker tried his best to put his best effort in outlining the system to make it safe for us. Based on this movie, there are still a lot of electronic components that can be added to make it more successful. ATS thank him for his dedication to HHO cause.
Looking at the above video, you should consider it as a basic wiring set up to guide you
A more advance feature can be bought which allows installer to test the HHO gas output production and at the same time, monitor your engine fuel mixture. This is to safeguard the HHO system in not making the fuel mixture too lean. At the same time, it can monitor your engine computer to produce optimum engine performance at a safe HHO gas output level. This is where an online automotive technician or garage mechanic can help you protect your engine. The bottom line is you do not want to save gas at the expense of premature engine failure.
ATS can help you install a HHO cell system for you: we can supply you all kinds of diagrams for your specific vehicle. Our wiring diagrams can show you the locations and colors of the wires to be used in both engine sensors and computer. Finally an online mechanic is always available from ATS to assist you to do the proper handling of your engine computer system. This is where most installers are having problems when the product you bought does not have the proper testing procedures for your hydrogen gas cars (engine testing while parked is the most important step even before you go for your first road test… it does not take too long to damage the engine while driving if you fail to do this).

Hydrogen Gas Cars Better Plans!
HHO Construction:
To have a successful installation of components for hydrogen gas cars, we need to understand the basic principle of HHO gas production. We all know the presence of metal plates immersed in water in our HHO cell. When DC current is being charged to these plates, hydrogen gas will go to the negative terminal called cathode while oxygen gases will go to the positive terminal called anode. If you notice, oxidation or rust is formed (shown in brown color fluids) and this comes from oxygen gas attacking the positive side of the terminal. To minimize this, the latest trend is to use stainless steel plates which has a good anti-rusting properties. Unlike hydrogen gas which does not corrode, it is important to stay away from using non-stainless parts for the plates including the plate holder rod, washers or any metal used in HHO cell. This is also the reason why newer designs for the hose connections, valves and fittings are made of plastic to prevent oxidation. Using this method, your HHO cell will have less maintenance when used in conjunction with distilled water and a catalyst.
HHO heat and setting up:
Another nagging problem for hydrogen gas cars is heat production during the process of electrolysis. This can be controlled by monitoring the HHO production rate using the PWM controller along with EFIE device so the input current can be set. One important factor I notice is that the more plates are used or more HHO cells added, the cooler will be the temperature of the HHO cell/s. When ordering your HHO cell from a vendor, make sure to ask the HHO rate of production which they will base on the size of your engine. However, when setting the PWM set points (amperage), the engine computer must be monitored. This can be done using an engine scanner which can display the oxygen sensor open/close loop settings.
Failing to do this on hydrogen gas cars can result in too lean combustion mixture which can raise the combustion chamber temperature and damage the engine. Some vendors include the scanner (scan gage) on their HHO cell kit to monitor the engine computer. Inspite of the added cost, it will give you a better protection for your investment. This is the reason that although HHO cell can help you save gas, it is critical to know that it will work only when added with other electronic devices mentioned above. And getting help from a licensed mechanic can help assure a successful hydrogen gas car installation (on one Utube video I saw the other day, a HHO cell installation worked great and save gas for a few days only to find his engine damaged because his mixture setting was too lean).
HHO Electrical Connections:
Use relay to automatically shut off the HHO cell when the engine is off. Use the proper wiring size for all your wiring connections preferably a size gage #10 or #8. This applies also to the relay or fuses being used which must be rated for the same wiring size. If not, electrical resistance or heat points will be created on the poor connection joints. If possible, solder all electrical connections to prevent heat producing contact points. I bet you can assemble a HHO cell unit for under $30 but if you really want to save gas on hydrogen gas cars, it is better to do it right not only to assure success but to keep your installation trouble free. In ATS, we provide unlimited online HHO installation assistance so you can do it right.
Shown in Utube video HERE is a successful Hydrogen Gas Cars HHO installation (34% mileage gain). ATS is grateful for the maker of the video and hope we can learn some technical stuff from his work.
