HHO (oxyhydrogen) is a clean and stable fuel, more powerful and safe than gasoline. HHO powered cars are on the rise as a cheaper, healthier alternative, and in a world where both the economy and environment are in need of immediate attention, is a big contender in the field of energy.
You can't find HHO cars on the market because existing energy companies don't want you to know about the technology; they'd lose a lot of money if you did. But an HHO powered car can be created by a simple conversion of an existing vehicle, and you can build your own.
As a basic overview, an HHO cell utilizes a small water reservoir; for a car, this would be located in the engine bay. When a small electric current is run through the water, the water molecules are chemically converted into HHO. As a fuel, HHO gas will then burn, efficiently powering the engine of your car.
To build an HHO cell, you will need:
1. A jar or small reservoir with a lid, to hold water. Make sure your container is non-conductive.
2. Material for the electrodes, such as graphite, razor blades, or other conductive items.
3. Nuts, bolts, screws and glue for securing your pieces, and completing your electric circuit.
4. Firm plastic tubing, for the transfer of the HHO gas to the desired destination (the engine).
The process:
- Make holes in your container such that two electrodes fit snugly, and pass through it into the water. This will serve as the current for splitting the water molecules into HHO.
- You will also need to secure a tube for the passage of the HHO gas out of the reservoir and into the combustion chamber.
- Make sure the lid fits securely on the container, but remember that you will also need a way to add water into it. It's best to use distilled water, as tap water has many impurities.
- When everything is securely in place, hook up your electrodes to a small source of electricity. For the testing phase, you will want to run the HHO gas into another contained chamber.
- Apply your electric current, and watch for the immediate production of HHO gas. As the gas escapes your cell, it can be ignited by a hand-held lighter (here's where the contained chamber comes in). Once lit, the combusting HHO gas will give a small pop, and visibly burn up.
Remember to experiment with a few different HHO cells and materials before building any cells for your car!
One of the best resources for learning how to build a HHO is an ebook called "Run Your Car For Free". You can read a review for it here: Run Your Car For Free Review. Alternatively you can learn more about the process of building an HHO here: How To Build A HHO.
