Hi - anyone done the HHO kit for their vehicle. Im looking into it and it seems like a vialble idea. There must be someone else out there that has looked into it and ossibly installed it.
comments both kind and nasty are welcome.im after the truth, not something to waste my money on
If you look at the simple science of it then as an alternative fuel you can see how it can't work.
As an alternative to LPG injection on a deisel then there is some merit as then it is increasing the efficiency of the engine rather than being a fuel.
The basic problem is it takes more energy to convert water HOO to HHO (or Browns gas). You then have the problem that when you burn a fuel in an engine you get about 20%-40% thermal efficiency so the reality of the situation is that as a stand alone fuel you would recover about 20% of the energy used to create the gas to propel your vehicle!
HHO is no myth. You can build an HHO gas torch to replace an oxy/acetalene plant and it will burn at 2700*. All it is, is a water tank with a large coil inside that you plug in to 230v. The hardest part is ensure you don't get flash back as a normal gas flash back arrester works to slow to stop it. ie this tuff burns incredibly fast. They normally use a water trap to stop it!
