If you're interested in trying hydrogen, Check out fuel-saver.org forum.
Lots of DIYers there. Interesting cell designs and discussions about the electronics.

my father and i are running a hydrogen assisted car well actually 2 of them we are useing an o2 bypass module with an adjustable potentiameter that we purchased from a place to trick the pcm, but we ran into problems, i had to add a delay timer in before the module so the pcm would read the o2 for 100 secs before the module took over, we are running a stainless unit at the time and we have gotten up to 60 mpg so far but it takes alot of work and alot of adjusting to get things right. we will be changing over to a plastic unit in the near future, that will be built by us, we use a chemical mixture with potassium hydroxide and filtered water, works for us so far, we just have to perfect it.

Ya go figure... Toledos media is all trash...

I understand pretty much all of it. Only issue Ive really hit(brick wall) is the electronics behind it.

Some say trick the mass flow. Other say if you do that the o2 will just error into more fuel. Some say o2 only,some both...

Im still highly interested in the whole project. But only having one vehicle for my personal use makes it about impossible. Was going to dothis on my g/f's car, but she cant go without either.

yea....Bill Horman didn't ask the right questions...and the prof. didn't tell the whole truth...the fact is, we can produce about 200 times more HHO energy than we use in electrical, and that we only draw about 5 amps anyway.
internal parts are in water...can't blow up...besides...just blow a fuse.
and moisture should never go up the hose to the motor...not the way we set it up.
lol...that was my van and me on the news....bummer being laid off from hvac!
If installed correctly, it will give your vehicle...
more power
burn gas more efficiantly
burn cleaner
clean out the cylinders of any carbon build up
make your engine last longer

Hello,

Actually I saw it on the news- Im from the area as well as a few others here.

I backed off on the project as specualtion on what it actually does to your vehicle.

The new slanted it with the UT Professors help to really make it sound impractical. But being in this hobby I can tell you 20-40 amps of power isnt squat crap... 20 amps can be done on a stock alternator...

Above that you may have to go up as this is a constant current...

But other than that, just worried about what moisture will do to the internals.

Plus if the internal should over touch... and blow up... yikes.

hydrogen fuel assisted vehicles....turn any vehicle into a hybrid

Hey Ryan and all you others out there...my name is Tom, I happen to see you all the other day when I was doing a search. I am the webmaster/owner and manufacture of the Hydogen fuel cell from GoTURTLEPOOP.COM
We have just introduced a new model line called THE HURRICANE.
Just for those that are intrested in it...I am not intrested in spamming here...I just thought it was neat that I did a google search and found links to your site from mine because you mentioned it or talked about it....thank you and if any of you have one,,,happy trails in fuel savings...if anyone wants to know about it, check out the site or email me...
have a great day

I used 3/16" ID fuel line, 3/8" is pretty big. I might use 3/8" if I had 6 jars going into to a manifold and one big line running out.

I used 1/4" water (NPT I think) for the fitting. And a universal T if you can tap into an existing vacuum line.

WHat size hose/fittings did ya use?

I bought 3/8" ID hose...lol

Sorry about the pics. I kept forgetting to bring my camera to work. But I did remember to bring my system home. I'll get some pics later today.

For hose I use fuel line because it will last almost forever. With all the heat in the engine compartment the clear stuff might get brittle. But I tend to over build everything. You should see the box I just built for my Focal sub.... even I had to laugh at the amount of screws I used. Oh well, Better safe than sorry.
