Hydrogen Generators

Hydrogen generators, also known as hydrogen fuel injection units, or HHO gas generators have been around a few years now, yet many people are just learning about them. In fact, the first vehicle to run using a hydrogen generator was built in 1807 by Francois Isaac de Rivaz of Switzerland.

The hydrogen gas was stored in a balloon and the vehicle used an electrical Volta cell ignition. In 1860, Etienne Lenoir of France built one and two cylinder Hippomobiles that ran off hydrogen. The hydrogen was generated by electrolyzing water, then it was run through the small horizontal engine.

Now days, hydrogen generators are used as supplemental technology. A person can build or buy his own hydrogen generator and install it upon practically any vehicle that uses gasoline, diesel, ethanol or even propane to help it increase gas mileage and decrease emissions.

Hydrogen generators work by electrolyzing water and creating HHO gas. This gas is then injected into the vehicles intake system where it ignites at a lower temperature and helps the gasoline to burn more cleanly and completely.

Many times when one installs an HHO generator, the vehicle's onboard computer system will sense that more oxygen is going into the car's cylinders (and it is!) and will compensate by making the gas to air mixture more rich. This will, in fact, has a negative impact on the car's gas mileage and emissions.

What many people who install hydrogen generators do, then in to buy an advanced MAP, MAF or O2 sensor and tell the vehicle to lean out its mixture of gas to air. This leaning is where the gas savings comes from plus the fewer tailpipe emissions.

With more hydrogen and oxygen going into the cylinder to burn at a lower temperature with less gasoline, this combination means not only fuel savings and lower emissions but a slight increase in horsepower (about 5-percent) is also commonly reported.

Hydrogen generators may not be for everyone. Most will either take some mechanically know-how to install them (or a trips to a mechanic versed in this technology). Experimenting with the onboard computer along with the right kind of electrolyte will also take some trial and error.

But, for those who do take the time to do this investigative work, the payoff is well worth it. Hydrogen generators may not be for everyone. Then again, perhaps you're not everyone?
