I hear much about Hydrogen for fuel and have yet to see a working model.
Where are demonstrations happening? Are there any cars using this technology?

Does anyone have a working HHO on demand installed in their car?

Check out Honda’s hydrogen powered fuel cell vehicle on their website.
They claim “nothing but water” from the exhaust.
They don’t say what the fuel cell is using as fuel, though.
It also has a hydrogen gas cylinder that contains hydrogen at 3,000 PSI.
I’d wonder how THAT hydrogen is produced, and how it is put into the cylinder.
So “nothing but water” from the car, and a range of 200 miles. I’d assume only if you also burn the compressed gas.
However, what pollutants are generated directly and indirectly don’t rate a mention.
If you talk of these so- called “Brown” gas generators sold as an add- on to your standard engine, forget it. It’s all a scam.
Yes, I have and several friends, co-workers and family members.
There are many factors involved in whether a Hydrogen on Demand generator will work well or not. The major factors are:
1. What are the electrodes made of, how well will they conduct electricity and how quickly will they corrode?
2. What electrolyte mixture are you using in the water (electrolyte is required to make the water conduct electricity to split the hydrogen and oxygen)
3. How much oxygen are you involving in the gas out to the engine?
4. How many o2 sensors does your vehicle have and how will they react to the extra oxygen they will detect? (sometimes the o2 sensors will detect more oxygen and increase your fuel ratio to compensate for it – I personally have not had this problem, but have heard others record it)
Speaking from my personal experience with the generator I built, I have literally TRIPLED my gas mileage.
Potential hazards include:
1. Chance of exploding oxyhydrogen gases if mis-used.
2. Blowing fuses.
3. Water damage to the exhaust over time.
4. Water in the engine – if you are really really careless.
I am part of an Alternative Energy Research group and Hydrogen Hybriding is one of our focal studies. We have Free diagrams and Plans on our myspace page for people who want to build their own generators and we have instructions on how to use them properly to maximize results.
A 20% increase could easily be a placebo effect.. anything over 50% is nothing to scoff at.
I have one of the simple DIY models, if you want you can watch my youtube vid (its in my truck and has greatly increased my gas mileage):
If you like what you see I got the schematics from:
I have to warn you though, its not quite as simple as they make it out to be. I had to get my friend to help me out, so if you’re not mechanically inclined you wont get it to work. I believe this is the same design as ‘Water4Gas’ which is WAY more expensive. Enjoy!
