HHO is called “Browns Gas” cause it was discovered by Yuri Brown in the 70’s. And this guy is using a 220V outlet to make this, it consumes far more electricity than the gas creates by burning it.

Ok, so I meant Yull Brown and not Yuri. Thanks to my friend who pointed that out for me. And I also meant to say that it consumes more energy in the electricity it takes to seperate the water than you can get from HHO burning it. TANSTAAFL

That does not really matter if it is less efficient and burns more energy — electricity is a renewable resource, whereas natural gas is not.

That May be True John, but you also have to remember that there are developing technologies in producing electricity, including more powerful forms of solar cells and Fusion reactors.

Also remember we already have Fission reactors in some parts of the world (Nuclear Power Plants)

the point isn’t that we will still burn Fossil Fuel, the point is that we will burn less.
We do use fossil fuel to generate electricity, but cars consume the bulk of fossil fuel, not coal, or gas power plants

Actually we use slightly more fossil fuels for electricity than transportation. Also we get more energy from fossil fuels than we use up producing them. There wont be an alternative fuel of the future that creates less energy than it takes to harvest, simply because we’d work ourselves into a hole.

In the second clip, at 1:32, it shows a ‘water’ molecule. I think it looks a little strange, don’t you? I hope that the person who made this clip isn’t the one developing this fuel.

People are so, ready to dissmiss a different idea. I want more imformation like what amount of energy is required comparative to the quantity of HHO gas produced then how much is generated by the combustion of this fuel. Modern powerplants (like hydroelectric) have hours where they generate surplus energy this could be converted to HHO. The transmission of power over great distances requires a great deal of energy the stored fuel could be shipped under it’s own power saving a great deal of resources. Also seasonal power needs change so, an energy bank of HHO could reduce the need to build more and larger powerplants. The energy from the sun manifests itself in solar, wind, plant and wave energy with a safe storage method we could transport energy from places like the deserts to populated centers. Remember fossils may be relatively cheap but, soon there true destructive costs may all to evident. I believe HHO may be added to fossil fuels and assists in creating a higher burn rate thus further reducing pollution and help to get more from the fuels we are already using.

I wanted to post some background information I was able to gather from various sources for others to use for additional research.

I want to premise this by saying that there are more skeptics than believers in this technology. I remain neutral on the subject until I see an article in a Large Publication Such as Nature. There is a publication on the subject in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy. Here is a little compilation of information I created for Wikipedia, before it was deleted due to the belief that this is actually a hoax. I dont claim to know whether it is or is not a hoax, I am only able to confirm the existance of A GAS created by Hydrogen Technology Applications INC. And that the device which produces the gas is Patented with the US Patent Office.

Aquygen is the commercial trademark name of a gas which is claimed to be made from ordinary water through a patented electrolysis process. Aquygen which is also known as HHO Gas, or Hybrid Hydrogen Oxygen Gas was created by Hydrogen Technology Applications, Inc., based in Clearwater, Florida. Hybrid Hydrogen Oxygen (HHO) may be used to replace oxyacetylene for most welding and cutting applications. HHO Gas may be able to be used as a primary fuel source or a fuel additive for gasoline, diesel and aircraft turbine engines. HHO gas is produced using a generator known as the H2O 1500 which is also manufactured by Hydrogen Technology Applications, Inc.

== Properties ==

According to HTA Inc., there are many unique and unusual properties that HHO Gas possesses. Below is a list of some of the unique properties claimed by the researchers of HTA Inc.

*HHO Gas proves to be odorless, colorless and lighter than air.
*HHO has a number of distinct features that distinguish it from water vapor, Brown gas and other variants. [http://hytechapps.com/aquygen/science
*In the production of HHO Gas, there is no evaporation process at all, the electric energy used being insufficient for evaporation. This feature alone establishes that the H2O Model 1500 Aquygen Gas Generator produces a new form of water that is gaseous and combustible.
*HHO Gas exhibits a widely varying energy content in BTU, ranging from a relatively cold flame (259°F) in open air to large releases of thermal energy, depending on its use. This is unique to HHO Gas, as all other known fuels have a fixed value of energy content in BTU/scf.
*The variable character of the energy content of HHO Gas is evidence that the gas has a unique structure with a chemical composition including bonds beyond those of valence type.
*HHO Gas does not follow the fundamental PVT law for gases.
*HHO Gas demonstrates an anomalous adhesion to gases, liquids and solids. HHO Gas bonds to gaseous fuels (such as natural gas, magnegas fuel, and others) and liquid fuels (such as diesel, gasoline, liquid petroleum, and others.
*HHO Gas instantaneously melts tungsten, bricks, and other highly refractive substances. In particular, measurements have established the remarkable capability of combusted Aquygen™ Gas to instantaneously reach temperatures over 10,000° F, under which virtually all substances on Earth can be sublimated.
*The measurements reported by [[Ruggero Maria Santilli]] suggest the existence in the HHO gas in stable clusters composed of H and O atoms, their dimers H–O, and their molecules H2, O2 and H2O. According to Santilli, these atomic and molecular bonds cannot entirely be of valence type.
*Santilli describes the creation of the gaseous and combustible HHO from distilled water at atmospheric temperature and pressure via a process structurally different than evaporation or separation, which suggests the existence of a new form of water.
*HHO is described to have the structure (H×H)–O where “×” represents the new magnecular bond and “-” the conventional molecular bond. The transition from the conventional H–O–H configuration to the new (H×H)–O species is explained as being a change of the electric polarization of water caused by the electrolyzer.

== Controversy ==

There is much controversy over the nature of HHO Gas. Many within the scientific community believe that such a gas is a scientific impossibility, or is highly unlikely. Some claim that such a revolutionary gas is nothing more than Pseudoscience or Free Energy Fantasy. There are some who believe that this “new” gas may in fact be old technology being touted as new technology. However further research into the properties of HHO Gas is currently being conducted, and the results may either confirm the findings or to prove that the findings are either inaccurate, or a hoax. The company has asked for independent research into the properties of HHO Gas, but it is not known if any such research has been conducted. Dispite the skepticism, the makers of Aquygen claim that they have engineered new electrolysis technology which turns distilled water H2O into a new and novel gas which has many unique characteristics. They claim that HHO gas is an Oxygen and Hydrogen hybrid known as a “magnecule” in a structure which has yet to be understood. These claims have not yet been verified through multiple independent research studies, however Ruggero Maria Santilli of the Institute for Basic Research has published the results of their original findings in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy.

== News Coverage ==

The news media has done several stories on HHO Gas. The technology has been featured on CNN, FOX News, and NBC. According to the media the HHO technology is being shown to members of Congress, local government officials, and even NASA. An exhibit demonstrating the technology was displayed at The 2004 Governor’s Conference on the Environment in Kentucky. According to the press release by the Governor’s Conference on the Environment in Kentucky, Hydrogen Technology Applications Inc. has donated several HHO gas generators to Kentucky universities and technical training centers during its introduction program.

He’s already building a Hummer for the military which will run in water, and is in negotiations with a US automaker to develop the system for mass production.

Now we are Lucky that some good people discovered a perfect way to protect our home Earth,without loosing our way of travailing machine, so what delaying us to use this new tech.HHO Before is to late from destroy completely our home Earth with no return.
This technology has been used by US military for long time saving them selves lots of money, I thing you people awake up and ask the authorities to let us use it, for the sake of our kids.

I’ve always been told it takes more enervy to split water than you get from joining it back together (burning it). I agree that we need clean technologies like this an encourage everyone to help promote / investivate this.

If you download videos on the joe cell, especailly the BNE (byron new energy) video, you will see that the joe cell produces browns gas at a fraction of the power required. Though they make references to “orgone” it is really static elecectricity. The static is held because the whole thing operates like a leyden jar. total genius!

10-5-2006 in 18:57:55 at 211.29.203.89    

browns gas does not burn you or boil water probably because it is hydrogen based… also the power recommended to run a joe cell is 12 @ 1 amp, and this is sufficient to run a car. The exhaust (water) flows back down the pipe from which the fuel came, giving it the appearance that the fuel is not consumed.

I would not be so quick to get skeptical of the skeptics here. What the claim is sounds fake to begin with. Name one process that runs at greater than 100% energy efficiency. Most of what we use in our “modern” world have yet to crack 60%. You just can’t take a small summ of electricity to transform water into something that somehow magically produce manny times more power when it reverts back to it’s original form. Also, the claim is that it costs just cents an hour to opperate… so that means it does’nt need much electricity. Then why does it need to run on 220? When was the last time you seen a night lite that needed 220? Yes, it’s cool that electricity can be stored in the form of this HHO (possibly to be used to mix into auto fuels - if it’s not a load of bunk to begin with) but still most of this power will come from coal. This claim that the majority of the us power comes from reknewable??????? Try 10%. The vast majority is good o’l aincient plant’n'animal stew. So far it’s still really hard to not discount this as being just like those goofy plastic “vortex” peices you stuff into the intake of your car that claim miraculous increase in mileage. And besides, if this was real it would have hit the national news something like this: FREE ENERGY DISCOVERED!

John’s initial statement is flawed, because, after making the HHO gas, it is NOT used to make electricity. John also didn’t hear that, even though it takes some electricity to make the HHO, it is still less expensive to make the HHO than it is to produce oxy-acetylene. Finally, even if it cost $1.00 per hour to produce the HHO gas, you get 25-30% more billable work out of the person using the HHO; so I spend a dollar making the gas but I get $50.00 more income in that hour. Sounds like a winner to me!

Well, one source of “free” electricity is off the alternator in your car, when it is not powering lights, stereo, A/C or charging the battery. So, who cares about the electricity it takes to make the HHO the car is going to run on, as long as the alternator is capable of producing the required amount.

For all you sceptics out there, this is real and has so many benefits. If you dont beleive it, you can build one of your own with the plans at eagle reaserch. I have the plans and will build it within the years end. (for about 1000.00 dollars US.)The applications for this are endless. It is not free energy. It costs about 77 cents an hour to run however the return on this investment is enormous.

Guys, it’s fake.

I’ve read the paper in Hydrogen Energy and he doesn’t present any convincing evidence to prove that he’s doing anything more than electrolysing water.

I am also unaware of any peer reviewed authentication of his claim that “HHO” gas is not just some mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, exactly what you would expect from hydrolysis.

Even if his claim was true his process cannot violate basic physics i.e. his process cannot create energy. If that was the case he would have invented the perpetual motion machine. Any such conversion process needs more energy than it produces.

Keith said,

10-24-2006 in 16:52:40 at 70.178.78.43    

I have read a great deal on this and if I understand it correctly, Mr. Klein has not just created another hydrolysis process that produces Brown’s gas but has actually created sort of an isomer of the normal water molecule. Usually the 2 Hydrogen molecules are at specific angles from each other as they are bound to the oxygen (approx. the same angle as Mickey’s ears are to his head as it turns out.) Klein claims to have created a “magnecular” bond between the 2 H’s such that the two H’s are forced close to one another in a stable form such that the bonds from the O to the H’s are parallel to each other rather than at an angle. From the name “magnecular bond” I can only assume that he has discovered a mechanism for converting the potential energy found in very strong magnets to another form of potential energy (HHO gas) that can be easily converted to thermal and then mechanical energy via burning. Also, if the “special” properties of this gas are as described, then the flame reaches a temperature hot enough to melt whatever substrate it comes in contact with. If this is true then it truly will be a whole new branch of physical chemistry. Also the heat given off from molten Tungsten should be more than enough to produce the energy required to run the machine…although you won’t find this claim at there site for whatever reason. You can chalk it up to conspiracy theory or whatever…but it seems that they are trying to tell us this w/out actually saying it.

I am planning to put up four micro wind generators on my property. I want to play with HHO with my excess electricity. I feel that if I can create more electricity than I use, I can find electricity based alternatives to some of the other fuels I use. It may be naive, but that is my thought.

I can’t agree to that. A popping sound is made when H2 reacts very vigorously with O2. Furthermore, if you were to force molecules to go that way, that’s impossible. HxH? All forced ions and molecules are unstable.

Sorry for double post, but isn’t it strange to use 220 volt power supply? That’s an enormous amount of energy you’re gonna supply, plus, if he said that HHO is water fuel, how come he never tried this: build a generator purely on water as fuel. It is a scientific impossibility, creating energy, unless you’re God.

Basic physics dictates that you cannot create energy out of nothing. nothing is 100% or more efficient. To break the water down into HHO or browns gas or whatever, must be taking more energy than you get back from burning it again. If we all had solar etc. on our garage to make the HHO, then maybe it has an application. Question is, is this process a more efficient store than your bog standard battery? My guess is no, otherwise we would be using it.

Ya so what if he’s using 220volt outlet, maybe it makes it easyer to step up. All that matters is the current that is being used. Although it does sound like its getting somthing for nothing, but we’ve seen in the past when somthing appers to violate a phyisical law its may just be an illusion and work mathmatically. But what do I know- nothing, sound too got to be true, hope it is. I guess I’ll just wait and see.

Justin, there’s a big post somewhere in the middle by Eli, with exellent links. One does not work, but do as they say and don’t hesitate and they’ll mail it within minutes.

I must have missed the claim that it is more than 100% effective.. ???

Perhaps it is a hoax, 220V is very convenient for the european market and trying to get a $7000 refound from abroad is difficult.

However it is very interesting, as it does focus some of us on the research. Undoubtedly at the cost of time and for some, face.

For those of us that have access to scientific apparatus to analyse the isomer, samples sound yummy!

I’m sorry guys but from many of the videos you can plainly see that this gas is giving off an extraordinarily large amount of BTUS when it lights up Tungston… lets just say if we put that kinda heat into a high presure steam boiler you could generate huge amounts of heat for a house or even splice in a turbine and make huge ammounts of current that could easily put out more then 7$ a day.

Gentlemen, don’t get hung up on this 120v or 220v thing. The gas generator that is offered for lease, rent, or out right purchase is used for the most part in an industrial setting for metal cutting. These are marketed as a better alternative to oxy-acetylene. The common power outlet on the wall is rated a 120volts @ 15 amps. You can also find 120volt / 20 amp outlets that look like almost like the standard wall outlet. The catch is that they usually cost about 50 to 60% more.

With that said, your wife’s hair dryer draws 1350 watts of power, or… at 120volts, thats 11.25 amps. The same unit that consumes 1350 watts at 220volts would only draw 6.6 amps. I would suggest that the current draw for the gas generator uses enough power that the normal 15 or 20 amp circuit that is common would not support the power requirement needed. With current and voltage being inversely proportional, at 220 volts the normal branch circuit that would support 30 amps or so, would fit into the range of operating cost per hr as stated in the info that I read on their web site. With power at 10 to 12 cents per kilowatt hour this would yield an operational cost of 50 to 60 cents per hour.

2) What is the cost of wind?
3) Isnt it a leap to go from another source of power all the way to perp. motion? Who claimed it would be perp motion?
So back to the cost thing. Knowing full well that prices change who can say 70 cents per hour to produce the gas is good or bad? But seems to me God has come up with some ideas like wind, solar and hydro, or is someone carrying the water up the hill, or buring a giant candle or are some of the people here responsible for blowing that hot air that run our turbines?

We have a very limited view of solar power. The sun is up there at all times. The main expense is puting solar panels in orbit, then send the energy down, with microwaves, to collecter points on earth. Main cost is the setup! No pollution!

I find it so amusing that ignorant people in todays society manage to somehow survive for so long. All these skeptics continue to ask the same questions:”How much gas does it produce?”, “Why does it use 220volts?”, etc.,etc. If these people would just listen and/or read the information that this company provides, better yet do some investigative research on the subject before being so close minded to possibly new technology. Then we, the human race, may actually be able to move forward as a whole, rather than the proverbial pissing contest to find out who is right and who is wrong.

Well, why not this, they use the electrolysis machine to make the fuel, then burn the fuel which then turns into water again, then re-harvest the water and reconvert it then re burn it. very little fuel required saving money that way. you could also boil water for steam turbines creating it power.

Wow, 60 cents per hour, if hooked up to your car it would only use a penney per mile if you were to use batteries alone and charge them by power grid, factor in the car’s alternator and the car could drive on only water and no external electric but even if the alternator can’t keep up who cares for 60 cents an hour car another battery and charge it.

—> Pratap.

Here are two patents currently registered at the patent office regarding HHO technology. All you really need to do is search.

PATENT 1

PATENT 2

Also, a big FYI to all those critics out there. I purchased a HHO generator for my body shop directly from the supplier. It burns like they say and is the hottest, cleanest flame we have ever used.

I can touch the flame base and not get burned, yet when I turn it to steel, it cuts like butter.

If this is simple electrolysis, then I missed something in science class.

Will the automakers pick this up? Probably not. Look what happened to Tucker in the 50s. Big oil is big money - the biggest. It’s going to take us building the vehicles ourselves to get the world to wake up and follow.

Just because its new, doesn’t mean it isn’t so. In the late 1800s, the U.S. Patent Office issued a statement that “everything that can be invented, has been invented”. You gotta laugh at ignorance.

Enjoy the thread.

I think that this is a great technology and that it has great potential. Now what I would like to know is after the electrolysis process, are they running the molecules through a magnetic field to produce this HHO or what is prohibiting the molecules to form back into H2O before the actual combustion?

Concidering the current state of stupidity in the middle east when a sneeze in Iran causes oil prices to go up, can the western world (read governments and populace) afford to allow nations whose current greatest educated are clerics to control their economies? The short and final answer has to be NO!!! Additionally this harbingers the actual ability to do something positive apropos greenhouse gases instead of just talking about it. We are running out of oil and need to do something about replacing it as an energy source. Just think, every vehicle out there could be retrofitted with this technology even if the Automobile manufacturers don’t install it as OEM. I fervantly hope this is not a whim of someones imagination!!!

Actually, it runs best around 2 VDC.
The reason you skeptics have ‘heard’ that this is impossible is because it cannot be regulated like fossil fuels can be and have been.
Arthur C Clark said it best when referreing to how scientists approach new ideas:
1) “It’s nonsense,”
2) “It is not important,”
3) “I always said it was a good idea,” and
4) “I thought of it first.”

At this point, the main focus of the discussion about this new technology is on the origin of the electricity to power this machine. A thing to remember is that yes, it takes energy to generate the gas but it is shown as a safer and cheaper way to weld. This product does not have to replace all others, but can be an alternative choice. But don’t count it out as a viable fuel for vehicles because it has the possibility of being developed more fully. This is a prototype, the first combustion engines were thought to be too dangerous but look around now.

As a side note, could someone please find the molecular formula and is HHO a name for the gas or a acronym?

OK So I think I’ve done my research on this thing, there are a lot of people complaining about the energy required

Ill clear that up first,
A car battery generates 12-14.5 V but your spark plugs run at an amazing 20000-50000V some use more-the increase is due to the coil so I don’t think the volts are a problem

Depending on type of battery and the condition, how new it is, the battery can put out between 5 and 250 AMP HOURS, the average battery today has a CCA AMP of 500/the AMPS needed to start a car in the cold, THORETICALLY the battery can provide up to 2000 AMPS but I would only recommend this if you want to get rid of a perfectly good battery.

So basically the battery can start the HHO machine
THE QUESTION LEFT FOR ME ARE

1)Can the alternator keep up with it as well of the rest of the cars features?

2)Can the battery start the car and the machine at the same time-with your AC and all the other stuff running or will that be too big of a draw on the battery?

3)When u turn off your car will the HHO/FUEL mixture solidify back to a liquid in your exhaust pipe and cause internal rusting if the vehicle is not used for say 2 months?

4)I understand that the system in the car runs off suction but how much hose can you use between the electrolyses machine and the piston before the unstable HHO will turn back into water?

5)Is this different than the ‘SUPER GAS’ that BROWN talked about?

ALSO, TO RECTIFY THOSE WHO THINK YOU CANNOT OBTAIN ENERGY WITHOUT FOSSIL FUEL…….GO STAND IN A FIELD WHILE THERES A LIGHTING STORM….OR BETTER YET TAKE A MATCH AND SET IT ON YOUR LIVING ROOM COUCH AND WATCH HOW MUCH ENERGY YOU CREATE.

Since I’m on the topic-why haven’t we found a way to harvest the magnificent power a lightning bolt generated…..we’ve got lightning rods-so I know we can catch it-SOME ONES GOT TO FIND OUT HOW TO TAME THAT BEAST.

And as for nuclear energy america thought it was a bad idea when it came out while other countries built many power plants-now where just like, crap, we should have went with nuclear energy…..o well they take too long to build, with our government it would take 15 years minimal to get one functional so basically were putting our eggs in the wind.

heres the deal if you burn hydrogen with an oxygen caytalist the energy stored in the hydrogen is far greater then the energy that would be used to separate the molicules there for you would gain more in return then what you supply (which is not really true being you are using the abundant sorce waterand converting it to an energy
producing source hydrogen)the feeling
is that most people are sceptic about this is due to the mass feeling that you cant get anything for free if in fact he found away to change the molecular bound of an h2o to an hho then the possiblitys are endless and yes it is very possible at one time cavemen were afraid of fire but heres the real question if this was released what would be the out come lets say over 100,000 plus jobs lost over night why you ask if your not burning gas you wouldnt need a place to stop and get it and thats only the icing on the cake a little tidbit for ya when plastic was discovered it was made in its hardest form during the hight of the steel mill erea it was found if it would have been released in full to the public it would destroy our econmy so it was released over time to allow for econmy to adjust to the change to this day we still have not seen the hardest form of plastic intruduced for public use fact or fiction any thing is possible

i have only read a litle of the posting on this site, some are intelligent, others are not.i will not sit here and act like i know everyhing but i do have an extensiveknowedge base.
degree in powerplants, yes
4 years as a crtifie smog tech for the state of california, yes
extensive eduations in alternative fuels, yes
living in and from an environmentally friendly area, yes
first things first power plants polute less than automobiles, both of which we depend on to survive. HHO fuel will basically elliinate crbon emssions, which are the enemy, c0 smog would be the formation of hc (raw unburned gasoline)and nox( formed during combustion temps above 2500 degrees f) while in direct sunlight. there are 3 comustable elements found in nature, these are sulpher (acid rain) carbon (carbon monoxide) and hydrogen (water). now i must ask you, which would you inject into your kids bodies?
heh water please! there are many viable options for alternative fuels ethanol, is great, for H.P. it does run great if your car is made for it. there are very low emissions, but like the electric cars, auto makers are reluctant to produce said vehicles.this only due to producers of oil. now if government, auto makers and oil company’s were all on the same page our world would be completely different. hydrogen, in its safest form is what the world needs(water). there are even plants that emitt hydrogen, used to power a power plant. the dirty hisory of gasoiline, often dumped into rivers initially. then came the gas engine, still today, it is the last process in an oil refinery,deisel being the first. next comes kerosene butane and the like. the excess is sent of to get cracked, just to make more gas. that is right, the oil companies go the extra mile to reach into your pocket. how does that feel?

at this point in this long winded posting i will talk about the chemistry and compare gas, ethanol, and HHO unbiasedly.

gas(HC) +02 this is what you can get
HC+NOX = smog BAD!
H2O good :)
CO BAD!
CO2 green house gas by E.P.A.
OS good:) i like to breath this
also there have been links between HC’s and asthma. following will be emissions readings from actually vehicles.

we start with 21% oxygen and 78% nitrogen (air) mixed in the combusion chamber with (HC) one part hydrogen and carbon at a ratio of 14.7 parts air and 1 part(hc) or fuel.this is vehicle operating properly.

co2 13-15%
co less than .05%
hc less than 20ppm
nox under normal driving, 200 ppm
h2o 1 gal/ 1 gal of gas

so we have unleashed co2
and taken gas and turned it to water(good)but we have alot of smog causing nox added

now here is are bad running engines with prolems.

HC in excess of 20,000 ppm
NOX in excess of 5,000 ppm
CO in excess of 5.00%

ethanol is a little better
the co2 levels are lower
co is not existant
HC is gone
but there is a chence for nox still right? not so much. this is due to less rapid comustion temps, yet still more efficient than gasoline.

i do like the sound of that, why dont we look into that you say? mostly due to politics, and inconvenience. darn us lazy americans!

so now we hear about HHO, what is it and how do we do it? its simply 2 water particles minus about 3 oxygen parts. what wait where did the oygen go? what does it mater? its harmless. unless, they have formed 03, or ozone,we dont like that. anyone want an ozone shot?
so there might be a theory for another day. this is what you could expect from the combustion of 02 and HHO.

02 yay! i like that stuff
h2o great stuff,i just gave my kid his injaction. wait didnt we start with that stuff? where is the exhaust pipe on this car? why dont we just reuse this H2O? hmmmm wait we cant do that, the oil industry doesn’t have interest in the worlds water supply. look on the bright side if they did, we could just our low mileage suv’s and emitt enough carbon emissions till all the ice burgs melt and we may litterally be up to our necks in water. ok have i said enough?

lets talk about energy. 220 volts is not alot of voltage. in fact coming in few years 09? i think it is auto makers are going to use 42 volts, to reduce the amount of amps being used. this is make wires smaller. truth about wiring and wire size. back in the day there used to be this thing called a distibutor, with wires carrying 50kv to 100kv. shocking isnt it? hybred cars have cables front to rear with just about that much in them. it has proven to be safe so far right? well yes. a wire can carry alot of voltage and still be quite small in diameter, but amperage needs alot of surface area internally. truth being told there will allways be a problem with gas. maybe can recall the gas tank recalls? if not here are a few. late 60’s mustangs, early 70’s pintos and the notorious side saddle chevy gas tanks. gas sucks( you dry).

indeed bob, here is a thought for you. if you pump up the coolant to 50 psi, add in the not harmful exhaust temps, im sure you could install a steam turbine pushing a 220 v generator cranking out plenty of amps to sustain itself if not excess. this of course would entail chemicals to deplete corosion and oxidation and a bypass valve till she is up to temp.

ok here is more, acetylene is unstable. especially bove 15 psig. very violent, and you can see soot from its comustion. the only unnatural components that are unstable are actylene and the gasses in our air.i dont know about you but i dont dig big clouds of raw fuel in the air. what about lightning? it is true that higher volage is more efficient, that is why industry uses 3 phase (440) depending on how its wired. 220v (2 phase) is more efficient than us dirty americans. we use mostly 110 volts and much more amperage. remember volts dont kill humans. 50kv will almost make ya poop ya self, but on the bright side, if ya did you should live to tell the story. it takes about .1 amp through the heart to kill most humans. but dont worry the paramedics can shock you back to life again (hopefully)

mrhyde this unit probably takes alot of volts to ionize the water, much like an ignition system on your internal combustion engine. you can make a million volts, but at a low amperage it wont consume alot of watts. the utilities charge by the kilowatthour, or the 1000 watts per hour. so if your stereo uses 1000 and you use it for an hour you would be charged 1 kwh. at 220v and 5 amps for one hour that would be 1.1 kwh. chances are its not even that much amperage. why is it people gotta talk trash about new technology? perhaps they have not grown up, studied up, instead of running your mouf, run your brain for a mental excercise for once.as for vortex, theoretically speaking yes it should work, only due to people not taking care of their vechicles. there are better options, ethos and petroleum distilates. more free flowing air and exhaust do help also. too much may affect torque although

I have done some reading on this technology and would like to visit the manufacturers at some point to see if what they claim is accurate.

I don’t believe, however, that they at any point said it produced more energy than it consumed. Also, even if it does use electricity, we are beginning to find better ways to harvest it from nature (i.e. solar, wind, geo-thermo…). So regardless of how much electrical energy it takes to produce, it would offer a cleaner way to consume the energy (instead of burning fossil fuels) since the exhaust is simply water.

Another thing that I seem to remember from the video is that they did not run the car entirely off of water. The “4 ounces goes 100 miles” was the fact that 4 ounces of water when converted into HHO gas and then added to gasoline would not run out for 100 miles.

And remember, they designed this for use as a replacement for oxy-acetalene…not to run your car.

Hey guys listen up. I’ve been studying and working on this concept now for over a year. I have built my own HHO generator that produces HHO gas using only 3 amps of power. I’ve installed one on my car and ups my milage by 30%. I’ve also built my own torch system. I don’t need or use 220v. I’m doing this with a 12v battery at 3 amps. my next project is to set up my home generator to run on this gas. I’m already set up to use propane or gasoline, now it’s just a project of sending HHO to the unit instead of propane. I’m sure that it will take some adjusting in the carburation, or what ever. Bu the way I’m no scientist, just a regular guy who’s not waiting for big business to kill this concept. If they win, we lose. Get the information, and build your own unit. Then decided if it’s real or not…I’ve already been there and done did it…

I’m just puzzled by the number of negative comments about this product. Every high school student has learnt about electrolysis of water into hydrogen and oxygen. Forget about the perpetual motion idea which is a non-starter and focus on what is possible. If the motor unit improves gas milage, is it not worth looking at seriously ??? Here an Australian unit called the Magdrive seems to work if the video is true and the diver is to be believed. All countries are using fossil fuels which are running out very quickly. now if we can use this technology to extend the supplies by supplimenting with hydrogen gas at a cheap rate, shouldn’t we atleast look at the technology ??? Comments have been made that it takes more energy to produce than you get from the burning of the gas. Well why does not one of the Universities test the unit under controlled conditions to see if the unit works or not ??? I saw an article where a Saturn fitted with a hydrogen generator unit ran some tests in Europe and achieved 99 miles/gallon. If this is true surely it would extend our fossil fuel reserves ???

There are a whole lot of people that ask some pretty dumb Q’s does a car run 220 - it can does your house run 9V DC - it can.
It uses more energy to produce HHO - so did recycling, and so did solar, but technology has a way of advancing, and finding solutions. Can you split Hydrogen from water for a fuel cell vehicle - sure - but how to do that efficiently and cheaply - that is a problem being worked on. So to all of the NEY SAYERS that say man cant fly, the human voice cant be transmitted, the human voice cant be recorded, you cant go to the moon,science does not allow for this or that (that science has been proven wrong many times - loopholes) , you cant go 100 miles on 4 oz of HHO - PLEASE CLOSE YOUR MOUTHS, WATCH AND LEARN.. As the real thinkers make progress..
Do you think our SCIENCE is ABSOLUTE and our knowledge of science is not with out errors ..get off the whacky weed and look at all of the science that has been disproved, loopholed and rearranged in the last 20 years, now as in the days of Coepernicus and Galileo and the science of the Titanic Unsinkable..

wow what a bunch of narrow focused people. when did you all lose your NATURAL sense of curiousity? HHO gas too good to be true—like a small bomb that could destroy a city was in 1935–till Hiroshima…

and all this focus on “getting more out than you put in”
Ha_ like Man had anything at all to do with storing HUGE ammounts of energy in the form of water ie..1 molecule = 1 hydrogen and 2 oxygen atoms combined by the forces of atomic level electrical attraction.
and the most creative thing you can think of to do with it is wash your butt or flush the toilet?

C’mon people quit looking for the perfect safe storage battery and go drink a glass of it!

is it really too hard to believe that using an RF frequency generator (like found in a c.b. radio) tuned to the resonant freq. of water to disrurb the covalent bonding of the atomic level electrical currents holding the the atoms in molecular form while passing a current between to polarized plates wont liberate the stored energy in the water??? I can generate enough rf with a 12v battery to make you sterile (yep, no more babies) or cause blindness.

everything..EVERYTHING has a resonant freq. and when subjected to it comes apart. (opera singer shatters glass with her voice) (sonic blaster breaks up gallstones) … an mri machine uses resonant freqs. to take those fine pictures of the inside of the body (WITHOUT EVEN BREAKING YOU OPEN FIRST!) IF HOWEVER IT WERE SET TO THE WRONG FREQ. it would cause damage to the tissues it is surveying and you would die.

is it so hard too believe, tell a man from 1800 what an ipod is or a microwave ect… this is the USA and we have just begun to invent new ways of doin stuff.

It’s really amazing how most designers are over looking lessons we can see from space. The whole universe changes constantly, and one thing I as well as many scientists can affirm is matter changes forms multiple times. Our Solar Systems runs fairly efficiently, look how the sun works, the atomic structure of the sun changes it’s elemental form so many times before it’s finally realeased in a mass coronal ejection. another thing you will notice is how every thing seems to work together. There are many Systems working together in space that directly impact each other. Orbits, tides, gravity, gyroscopic equations, magentism, vacume systems, energy created in spining, heat, solar radiation. they all have a purpose.
The point I am trying to get at is it takes over 50 different component WORKING TOGETHER to fly an aircraft, I really believe that we can achieve %100 if not more efficiency with HHO IF we harness every problem to an advantage point. Example of this is this, got a heat problem creating loss? Use the heat to make electricity, line something with thermal voltaic cells, bright light, use it, light emmited? add a light focusing lens. We just need to integrate more subsystems that harness Byproducts. Some say HHO gonerators get hot, combined with burning the gas pumped into the equation Burn it, make more heat make steam, make power. why waste light produced photovoltaics. any how that’s my two cents.

We tend to think about the inefficiencies rather than taking advantage of the situation.
Man, Can’t wait till my protype is complete :)

Eddie…Where did you get the plans to build your generator and instructions to modify your car? What type of engine did you modify? Details please to enlighten the rest of us. I agree with you, give me the plans and i’ll build one myself. If this technology is genuine i’ll build one for every one I know.

I’ve read all (!!!) of the posts…
it is amazing to note that not one (…0 has answered the basic question that seems to lurk there:
how many units of enegry (in watts or BTU equivalents) are needed to CREATE the gas (HHO).
No one has indicated how many BTUs of heat are being RELEASED by burning a unit of gas (say, Oz by weight or grams).
That is the basic question that MAY yeild some more inteligent discussion.
Further, all the commenters have not indicated if there is an understanding how the seperation (’splitting’ of molecules) process realy works; what is the proper catalyst (steel, other metal or what); what is the process under which a CURRENT will flow in the ’seperator’ that my use PURE water (not really a conductor a low voltage…).
Just a few question to try to stimulate a more inquiry-based discussion (Science,anyone?…)

To help the discussion further along (I am impatient…), here is another source of reading:

The Chemistry of Water-The Hydrogen and Oxygen of Water
http://witcombe.sbc.edu/water/chemistryelectrolysis.html

There are some very important conclusions there, despite the technical content!
Happy reading to all!

just a note: who really cares how much energy it takes to produce one mega flop of energy from HHO. the point of this entire system is that if you can put in 4 oz of water and increase your milage another 100 to 150 mile per tank ….. what a great deal!!!! i can assure you that the container that the 4 oz of water came out of did not have Shell, Chevron, Exxon, etc. on it….
BOTTOM LINE: anytime a company makes (for example) 10 Billion dollare in net profit, in one quarter of the year, then a lot of regular folks really got screwed to the wall and the gov. “HELPED”.

Using water as a fuel source for cars is useless (energy wize) because it violates the first law of thermodynamics. so their is no extra energy to be gained by using it. however it would be more cost efficient to a welder, because then you do not need to know the exact energy output you are getting. you are just cost efficiently converting one type of energy to another. I think it would be kick ass to use water as a fuel for cars and whatnot, but right now we don’t have the tech to do it so that every one wins.

Everyone that has posted negative feedback to the idea of using HHO gas as an energy source should research a little before hacking down something they don’t understand. I’ll give my response to a few of the posts that I read. First off I would like to address one of the first posts, made by “John”. Of course he is using 220V to power the torch, it is normal to operate a piece of equipment like that from a 220V power source. The point is he is not purchasing an expensive fuel that causes pollution to manufacture (refine)and he is not creating pollution in the process of burning that fuel (which by the way is a more effective than the traditional fuels). He could use the same gas that is coming out of his torch to power a generator and virtually eliminate his energy cost of operating the equipment. There were more than one person that claim it takes more energy to produce HHO than can be produced. That is a false statement. There are multiple places (I don’t have the links on hand) that operate generators from HHO that is produced on site with power from the generator that burn the gas (this may not be HHO gas but it is a gas produced/extracted from water by use of electric current) Any way I’m tired of typing now so before anyone makes a statement claiming that HHO is not real, efficient, or safe than traditional fuels do some research.

I’m always amazed at how gullible folks can be when they’re told ball-faced lies with a straight face.

The amount of energy required to electrolyze H from H2O will *ALWAYS* be more than is releasd when it’s recombined. That’s science fact.

Essentially this process is a burning of hydrogen in the presence of water (no problem there) which cools the process. Unfortunately, focussing on that is merely to obscure the fact that the energy equation to *make* the hydrogen to burn is a negative equation — just as it is for hydrogen for fuel-cells or for burning in an internal combustion engine (which Ford has been doing experimentally for quite some time).

If you go and search out this ‘technology’ you’ll find the ’snake-oil’ websites coaxing you to purchase the HHO secrets for $67.95 — but hurry!! …before the leterature is sold-out!!! You could save thousands

Net: the energy equation is negative; the proposition as a meaningful energy alternative is totally fallatious; it’s snake-oil in straight-faced wrapper.

Caveat Emptor! (let the buyer beware!)

Hey guys. I think folks are always get hung up on anything that “claims” to be greater than 100% energy efficient; which I don’t think the inventors of Aqygen are doing btw. Who cares if something isn’t miraculous, if it’s more efficient to produce than other forms of energy (fossil fuels for example), and less damaging to the environment, that should be good enough right? I don’t think anyone wants to rewrite physics here, I think they have just found something novel (and potentially very useful), like oil and gasoline used to be. If this technology has ANY merit (which it appears to) we can work out the details on how to produce it more efficiently, find additional uses for it, etc. over time. The gasoline/diesel in the cars we drive today wasn’t invented overnight either. Don’t throw a good thing away, just because it isn’t what it could be yet.

I worded that incorrectly regarding oil and gasoline being useful, in the past tense. HHO gas could be useful (hopefully in the very near future), like oil and gasoline already are. Again, nix whatever ideas about anything being greater than 100% efficient. Who cares, nothing is, nothing will be… Let’s please focus on the benefits we CAN get from a technology or recent discovery. Thanks :)

Hey, just thought I might provide an example. A hydroelectric dam isn’t 100% efficient and we still use that technology. We simply take advantage of some elements that are in place and produce energy from it. Water evaporation moves clouds inland where it rains, gravity pulls it back towards the ocean where it came from. We simply harvest some of that potential energy on the water’s return journey. We don’t need 100% efficiency, we just need financial feasibility. If it’s feasible to construct a hydroelectric dam and charge for the energy we have a winning situation. All that HHO gas needs is to be financially feasible. If it isn’t (which I think it is) could we pool our collective mental energies and make it feasible? I think we can, and I don’t think there are as many obstacles as people would like to believe. Anyway, I’m done for now. I do like to hear myself talk but even I have my limits. ;)

I’m curious/confused. I’ve been looking around a lot about HHO in cars and the #1 argument I always hear against it is that more energy is used to convert the water to gas. People will say that since the alternator is working harder, its pointless because the engine is working harder. I’m not following the logic. If I get 20mpg regularly, and 35mpg with some sort of HHO dispenser in my car, aren’t I still coming out on top? Can someone explain this to me? Thanks!

Felix, your right man.

Since no factual numbers have been stated once since the beginning of this site, let me speak for all of us.

Let us say hypothetically, That ya you guys are right, it takes massive amounts of energy to create the HHO. NOW let us assume that it requires MASSIVE amounts of HHO to propel a vehicle for a significant distance.

I SAY THIS TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. WHO CARES.

So instead of a 12 gallon gas tank propelling me X amount of miles. I only get to travel half the distance with a similiar amount of HHO, WHO CARES.

Look, I would gladly trade off going to the gas station and spending 80 dollars to fill my gas tank when I could hook up a solar panel in my backyard to produce the energy to electrolyze my water.

Let’s say someone devises a way to run HHO primarily with no gasoline additives, and let’s say I can only drive 50 miles on a charge, that’s fine with me.

The principle and point that no one understands in this argument is this We aren’t trying to create power plants, we aren’t trying to create more energy than we used to create it in the first place. This isn’t perpetual motion, We aren’t trying to be Joseph Newman. We just want to stop harming the environment, and keep alittle coin in our pocket at the same time.

Whoever went off on the 220v tangent is a moron, look if I had to use a Terawatt’s amount of energy to fill up the gastank in my car WHO CARES, save that terawatt comes from a wind farm, or a PV system, or hell even hoover damn. If those meaningless 220volts are created by a renewable energy source, what does it matter.

Ideal situation, your state puts up a renewable energy power plant by your house, so your using electricity from some method that isn’t harming the environment. You then proceed to use that cheap energy albeit large amounts even to create HHO. Then someone fabricates some silly way to actually power a vehicle from that gas. Who would not do it, seriously.

No all of you would.

So instead of pissin and whining about how much electricity it takes to electrolyze water, focus on perfecting it, and making it useful. Because If someone were serious about this, then I think they would like that one fella say, put up some wind turbines in the backyard to electrolyze water for free. And if it was free to begin with, who wouldn’t want to use it to power a vehicle.

If someone can say truthefully, that the combustability properties of HHO are not significant to push the pistons in an ICE engine, or some other hurdle like it burns too hot, and you cannot keep the block cool enough during this process. Then I’ll shut up I’ll retract my entire statement, and end my life.

Because if I can’t dream, then there is no point in living.

Call me a liar

You can download instructions on how to create this kind of stuff from torrent sites. I am pretty sceptical that this would actually help mileage, but would like to see anyone that actually attempted creating one for their car. On the other hand, I am thinking that it could help a bit by storing wasted energy, or some kind of a synergy effect by combustion together with regular gas. Just a guess.

In addition, looking at this kind of sites, they happen to be using the same videos all the time. And they lead to poorly designed scum sites which asks you money for the instructions. Kind of making everything look more like a hoax.

This is for real. I own one of these machines. The real benefit is the ability to create clean fuel on demand and on site. HHO technology combined with photo-
voltaic cells would eliminate the metal or glass workers
reliance on massive welding corporations. IT isn’t really an issue of energy efficiency for me. It has more to do with the state the energy is in. This technology allows me to use the energy available to me (electricity) to create the fuel I need on-sight instead of paying a huge wasteful corporation to do it for me. As far as transportation, BMW has been working on a hydrogen powered car since the eighties. This is for real!

Exactly, look here fella’s we aren’t looking for a be all end all. I could run my car off of Liquid Propane if I wanted too, granted it’s about 10 cents more a gallon than gasoline, and I’ll average 4miles less to the gallon. But I won’t be supporting the Gasoline industry, and I just did alittle research and found out that the by products from Propane aren’t harmful as apposed to other petroleum manufacturing processes.
“Byproducts/Waste

As detailed above, the manufacture of propane produces a variety of byproducts that are economically useful. Actually, it is more accurate to think of these not as byproducts but as co-products, since they are produced along with propane as part of petroleum refinement. These co-products may be in the form of solids, gases, or liquids. Solids (or semisolids) include bitumes, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide and are sold for fuel purposes. The liquid fractions include crude oil, which is further refined to give a variety of products. These oils vary dramatically in appearance and physical properties like boiling point, density, odor, and viscosity. The different fractions of crude oil are referred to as “light” or “heavy” depending on their density. Light crude is rich in low-boiling and paraffinic hydrocarbons; heavy crudes are higher-boiling and more viscous. They yield a variety of asphalt-like molecules. Many of the co-products of propane production, such as propylene and butylene, are useful in gasoline refining, synthetic rubber manufacture, and the production of petrochemicals.” — http://www.madehow.com/Volume-3/Propane.html

All we are saying is if we can use clean cheap renewable energy sources to generate the electricity to run a car off of hydrogen, why the hell not even if the cons might outweigh the pro
