The DIY Hydrogen Cell

Is it possible to build a hydrogen fuel cell yourself? Yes, of course it is, it’s not that difficult to do and for less than $50 you can build a fuel cell that will increase your mileage by as much as 65% or more and that’s not bad.

The first thing to know is that the device that you built for your car is not meant to produce enough hydrogen to run your car only on hydrogen. To run 100% hydrogen means you have to build a device which is much more difficult to put together and probably more dangerous because at least at the DIY level the technology isn’t there yet.

The unit that you’re going to build works this way. Quite simply, you will be generating HHO gas from water by sending a charge from your battery into the fuel cell which separates the water molecules in the fuel cell into hydrogen and oxygen. This then generates a gas known as HHO or Brown’s gas.

HHO is not only safe and clean but when combined with gasoline in the carburetor will markedly increase your mileage. Of course it depends on how you drive the car and the type of car you own but a 75% increase in gas mileage is not unheard of. You can save thousands and, according to many testimonials from people who have used the system it is not a scam.

All you need is a good guide to build your own DIY hydrogen fuel cell and you will find any number of those online. These will provide you with a step-by-step instruction on how to build a hydrogen cell and install it in your car and, remember we are not talking rocket science here. The method really is very simple and only a very basic knowledge of mechanics is required. Barring that, you could always take it to your mechanic.

The trick is as with anything else, get the best information that you can and make sure that you can get at least some support. Current evidence suggests that Installing a DIY hydrogen fuel cell will not damage your vehicle but it is always good to have access to somebody who knows.

In regards to that, I have checked out quite a few different products out there and the most complete one I’ve found is www.water4gas.com . You might find it worth your while to have a look.

Alternative Fuels, Using WATER to convert engine to a hybrid DIY

A recent discussion on a discussion forum sparked some debate on whether or not HHO generators / bubblers can be fitted to a vehicle to increase fuel economy. Several people responded saying that it works and that they got at least a 10% gain, meaning they could travel farther on a mile per gallon (MPG).

Below are some excerpts and pictures as well as the link for further reading. I tried to highlight the important information:

One person says:

“I spent about $5 on parts, had everything else already laying around my garage.
So far, I’ve achieved about 10% better mileage, and 10% more horsepower. A definite ‘feel it in the seat of the pants’ improvement”

Below are pictures of his setup:

“bubbler bottle” that stays in the vehilce filled with the charged water

“most people are starting out by making “test cells” in their garage and using a battery charger, spare battery or even drill batteries to try different configurations.”

Is this safe for the vehilce? Another person writes that, “An HHO unit will NOT damage your vehicle. I agree with … some guys are selling a circuit board that you put inline with the O2 sensors as you have to fool them so you dont run leaner. For some reason if you dont fool the sensors it dumps more gasoline into your enjectors. The circuit board seems real easy to install and has variable knob on it you can “fine tune”"

The theory is that the water is charged in a way that the stainless electrodes seperate the Hydrgoen and Oxygen molecules from the water by electrolysis. Because you induce oxygen AND hydrogen this is known as Brown’s Gas. A highly combustible mixture of hydrogen and oxygen.

Why is Brown’s gas a better fuel than pure hydrogen? Here is an opinion:

The environment is experiencing tremendous problems at the moment, and one of the most serious of these is that we are losing our oxygen. The oxygen content of the air is becoming so low that it threatens our very existence in some areas. The normal oxygen content of our air is 21 percent. But in some places it is only a fraction of that! In Tokyo, Japan, for example, the oxygen content of the air has dipped to 6 or 7 percent. If it reaches 5 percent, people will begin to die. Tokyo has even put oxygen disbursement centers on its street corners, so that people can get emergency oxygen if they need it.

Eventually, if something is not done, this low-oxygen situation will affect each and every one of us.

Brown’s gas, created through an electrolytic process, actually may contribute oxygen to the air supply, rather than leaving it the same (as with fuel cells and pure hydrogen), or consuming it (as with fossil fuels). It is for this reason that we feel it will be the future technology of choice for running our vehicles.

It is not currently practical to run your vehicle strictly on Brown’s gas due to the energy required to create the gas. You can still use it to increase range and performance of a combustion engine by utilizing the alternator’s extra capacity to produce the gas. For more information please read here: source
