Hydrogen Gas Cars First Plan!

If you are desperate enough to upgrade your car to hydrogen gas cars and save gas, I will try to show an example on how to harness the power of hydrogen gas from water. As you probably know by now, this simple set up of electrolysis can give you plentiful of hydrogen gas on demand. With the flick of a switch, hydrogen gas can be generated to improve your vehicle’s gas mileage.

Unlike hybrids or the expensive hydrogen cars being developed right now, the set up cost for hydrogen gas cars is very cheap. The only thing to watch out is to do it properly so you can increase your gas mileage without having safety issues or hazards to you or your engine. There are lots of hydrogen gas cars with all kinds of components but shown in Utube video below is the very basic plan. Beware though that this video or demo is not endorsed by ATS but to give you an idea on how it is done. As a matter of fact, ATS appreciates the gentleman who acted on this video HERE, who took the time and effort in showing us what he did. This will help a lot of people like you and me minimize mistakes when modifying hydrogen gas cars.

Details below are some basic plan for hydrogen gas cars

HHO generator or HHO cell:

On hydrogen gas cars, this is where all hydrogen gas is produced where metal plates are immersed in water. About 6-12 months ago, the accepted HHO cell liquid to use is tap water. However, using this old system, it produced a lot of impurities causing the HHO cell to have more maintenance. In the last 6 months, there is a growing agreement among HHO cell builders to use distilled water instead plus a catalyst like sodium carbonate. This mixture minimizes production of gunk or brown colored fluid in your HHO cell and a better rate of producing HHO gas. The HHO cell itself is housed in rust proof cylindrical container which have the metal plates immersed in distilled water. Using the vehicle battery and alternator, a dc power supply is supplied to the metal plates to produce HHO gas.

Bubbler:

Bubbler is a container (usually made of plastic) connected after the hydrogen cell. Its purpose is to collect the hydrogen gas generated by immersing the hydrogen gas in water before being routed to the engine air intake. This helps prevent HHO gas being drawn back to the HHO cell in case there is an engine misfire or flash back while running. It also recommends to use a one way check valve between the bubbler and the engine air intake to further prevent flash back. On some cases, another one way check valve is also connected between the HHO cell and the bubbler.

Pulse Width Modulator (PWM):

An electronic controller connected to the HHO cell circuit intended to control the hydrogen gas production. By manipulating the electrical voltage and current signals, PWM is able to produce the best amount of HHO gas without using too much power from your engine charging system. This also helps in preventing your HHO cell from overheating which can damage the whole HHO system.

NOTE:

If your vehicle engine is carburated or diesel type without any computer, the 3 basic components above is adequate to produce the HHO gas and increase your gas mileage. Depending on various reports, the mileage gain varies between 5% to 15% but some some reports as high as 30% mileage increase.

EFIE or Electronic Fuel Injection Enhancer:

This is an electronic device used for fuel injected engines to send oxygen sensor signals to your engine computer. It prevents your engine to go into open loop (when your “check engine light” shows up). This usually happens because when HHO gas is introduced to the combustion mixture, it makes the engine mixture superlean. The EFIE works with the engine’s oxygen to fool the engine computer and make it run in close loop when HHO gas is used. ATS can help you pinpoint which sensors to use since the newer engines now have 4 or even 5 oxygen sensors.

This EFIE device is also works with conjunction with your map or mass sensor depending whether you have it in your engine or not. Sometimes it also depends on the design of the HHO gas system maker. But the main purpose is to control your engine computer to inject less fuel when the fuel mixture becomes super lean.

When EFIE is combined with the basic HHO cell system above with PWM, the average gain is between 20% to 50%. There is even one HHO vendor who sells their complete kit (plus exclusive secret formula) who promised 20% minimum gain in mileage with 30 days guaranty or your money back. Contact ATS for this vendor or you can search it in Utube.

Whether you have a carburated, diesel or fuel injected vehicle, the main parts above are the prevaling basic HHO gas components for successful plan for hydrogen gas cars.

Shown HERE is another Utube video below showing how HHO gas can make your engine run better when used in your engine (again ATS thanks this kind individual for showing his experiment to us). HHO gas has more energy than gasoline fuel. When burned in the combustion chamber, it easily displaces toxic Nitrogen and carbon oxides produced by gasoline making the fuel burn better. This is the main idea why you will save gas. In this example video, the engine rpm can easily change by restricting the HHO gas flow in the bubbler hose.
