Did you ever think it would be a fun idea to build a hydrogen generator? Of course you did! Doesn’t everyone? Well here’s your chance…….
Did Denny Kline create a NEW and revolutionary way to get a gas cheaply from water, for welding applications, and major increased gas milage? … or has Brown’s Gas or HHO Gas Has Been Around For Decades?”…..
“Water4Gas is a technology based on splitting water on board a vehicle, and using the resulting gases not to drive the vehicle – but only to boost the efficiency of its combustion.
It is a Do-It-Yourself technology, specifically designed for beginners with no special tools and very limited budgets. A working system can be built at home with basic hand tools for $20-$100, installed in minutes and removed in seconds.
No modifications to the engine, computer or fuel injection systems, so any backyard mechanic can install it easily.
The technology is age old, over 91 years. All we’ve done is raise it from the dead and develop a simple structure based on low cost hardware. Although there is a myriad of hydrogen generating designs out there, ours is the simplest and also the safest for the beginner. The electrolyzer, bubbler and water reservoir have all been combined into one super-simple device.
Is it possible to build a hydrogen fuel cell yourself? Yes, of course it is, it’s not that difficult to do and for less than $50 you can build a fuel cell that will increase your mileage by as much as 65% or more and that’s not bad…….
The first thing to know is that the device that you built for your car is not meant to produce enough hydrogen to run your car only on hydrogen. To run 100% hydrogen means you have to build a device which is much more difficult to put together and probably more dangerous because at least at the DIY level the technology isn’t there yet.
The unit that you’re going to build works this way. Quite simply, you will be generating HHO gas from water by sending a charge from your battery into the fuel cell which separates the water molecules in the fuel cell into hydrogen and oxygen.
You have got to hand it to the Japanese. Both the Germans and the Americans are only focusing on fuel replacement systems that either rely on an update of old technology or on new systems that insure that they can charge more in the aftermarket such as the hybrid car that, afterall, still uses oil. It might just lead one to think that, possibly the oil companies might have…..
