Thread: Hydrogen Generator

There was a short mention of a system like this in Land Rover Owner International a few issues ago, it seems it's all the rage with the boys in Iceland. I think they called it a brown's gas system?

They feed the hydrogen released from the water directly into the inlet manifold. Some of the guys have 6 or more of these boxes full of bubbling water!

Simple electrolysis it seems to me - worth the bother, I have no idea?

No offence intended but as per the other threads on this subject........................................I'm sorry.........it's rubbish..............

Energy in...............energy out + waste heat, that's that way of things.

If it were as simple as that we'd all have one....but I'm saving up for the 2012 hydrogen fuel cell D5.

None taken, I just posted it up as I thought others who had not seen or heard of the Technology might be interested.
In short, I thought I was doing something useful and maybe of interest to others who don't get to see this sort of thing.

Links not working

never mind... i've worked it out and fixed above

mate of mine bought one of these of fleabay for $500 form the US, when he got it and i saw thw $25 in materials, 100mm pipe with end caps and 2 stainless wires hanging out for the battery it all of a sudden only cost $100, what a friggen joke, as if it works

myth busters did something similar awhile back, didn't work but was not as complacated as that one

i attended a club meeting where a guy (sales rep) came and did a power point presentation on a version of one of these, i personally thought that the theory was plausable but didn't really see the value, (unless you based it off the savings they claimed). They claimed would make any engine as economical as LPG or D Gas, simply by adding minute amounts of highly flamible hydrogen to the air intake of any engine, therefore causing a cleaner, more highly combustable combustion. So you got greater power out of the engine and therefore you either had more power or you used less pedal and therefore use less fuel. Plausible maybe, but at approx 2G for basic system for a car or small 4WD 3.5G for bigger 4WD and small truck upto 7G for Lge truck i think i will wait until i start hearing that the system is great.

If it doeas work then 1 good thing is that it can simply be removed and re-installed to another vehicle (when you up grade).
