Thread: Hydrogen (browns gas) by electrolysis

This post certainly does not fit with bio fuels but is relevant in terms of efficacy and efficiency.
Does HHO work/assist in any way....the answer is categorically yes. There are many stories circulating on the net and some very outrageous claims being made...let me tell of my experience over a number of years.
My vehicle is a 2001 Range Rover P38 4.6L petrol HSE. Fuel consumption around town runs an average 18L/100k and on the highway around the 14's+ , these averages have been consistent over about 100,000kms WITHOUT the hydrogen cell.
With the cell turned on, running pure (filtered town) water with a dash of caustic and about 15 amps, consumption is on average about 14's+ around town and about 12's on the highway. These figures over about another 100,000kms.
I won't go into specifics of the design but essentially I run a dry cell with a pump through 5 platinum coated titanium plates and a PWM (pulse wave modulator) to control current and provide a clipped DC voltage. Intake is straight into the air filter box and the system is tied directly to ignition on.
All of the components are designed and made/assembled at home by myself and a good mate (who also ran one on his identical P38).
Our experiences are very similar...low power is markedly improved (such that you can tell if the fuse on the cell has blown) and we have estimated an average improvement on fuel consumption of roughly 15%.

Now be assured I am not selling anything here (and have no desire to do so), I am putting this out there simply to point out some real world experience with HHO with no frills attached and I am quite happy to 'discuss' this with anyone who would like to perhaps try this for themselves.

As I said, there are some outrageous claims being made out there, usually by people selling something....but be assured, in all the BS there are some truths.

A short experience with diesel would suggest that the overall improvements (especially with older engines) is quite significant.

G'day to all the techo's.

Until then, it's just snake oil.

G'day Mick. Couldn't agree more and I would love to do the NATA testing but having been down that path on other matters one has to have deep pockets....that I don't have. I am not trying to prove to anyone this works and would be reluctant to spend my hard earned just to do that.
We started down this path many years ago being just as skeptical as many others on these pages. (both ex military weapons systems and electrical techo's with combined experience getting awfully close to 100 years) Started with just simple stainless steel knock up experiments...they worked albeit rather poorly. So we moved on to other materials and introduced pulsed DC modulation etc etc, and got good results and..(according to us) some success. But as you say, despite technical backgrounds, any success is purely anecdotal without hard independent data.
I don't feel slighted in any way that people don't believe although I did feel a little stung by some of the comments posted. But I am certainly not in the business of slamming anyone who doesn't share the same beliefs as me and you can bet your last buck that I am not a snake oil salesman.

I live in Canberra and if you are ever down this way, I would be more than happy to show you the system and chat over a coffee, my shout.
