There are two basic systems we are dealing with in order to save gasoline or diesel we use to power our vehicles: (1) HHO producing device and (2) H2O vaporizor.

HHO Producing Devices

A HHO device refers to a design that breaks up water molecules to produce hydrogen and oxygen and then feed that mixture into vehicle engines as fuel supplement to improve fuel burning efficiency to save gasoline or diesel. Note that this is a hydrogen-on-demand system where hydrogen is not stored but rather is burned as needed together with the right ratio of oxygen in the mixture. It is much safer than the hydrogen fuel cell which requires the hydrogen to be pure and stored in compressed form.

There are two ways to break the water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen - some call the mixture Brown’s gas or oxy hydrogen: (1) conventional electrolysis of water and (2) non-conventional water breaking technologies such as water fuel cells demonstrated by Stanley Meyers’ water-powered car and John Kanzius’ water on fire, Joe cells, etc.

We test both the commercial and home-made devices to see which type is more feasible for ordinary consumers. Here is a picture of the commercial device we are testing:

Here is a video showing the how oxy hydrogen is produced in a home-made device:

H2O Vaporizor

A H2O device is simply a mechanism of moisturizing a very tiny portion of the air that comes into the engine air intake. This is a technology some 85 years old that shows that a tiny amount of water molecules in the combustion chamber of an engine actually help boost the engine performance.

Electronic Devices Dealing with Sensors

In modern vehicles (made after 1996), fuel injection and fuel/air ratio are controlled by an OnBoarD computer (OBD I to start with and OBD II now on most vehicles), sometimes called ECU (electronic control unit). Any fuel efficient improvement on the vehicle is mis-interpreted by the ECU - it detects a higher oxygen content in the exhaust and thus issues a command to increase the fuel injection to match the preset stoichiometric fuel/air ratio. Note that studies have shown that injecting hydrogen to the engine allows it to run at a leaner fuel/air ratio than the stoichiometric ratio. For example, the stoichiometric fuel/air ratio for gasoline engine is 1/14.7 - by injecting a small amount of hydrogen, according to the 1977 NASA research carried out by NASA’s Lewis Research Center in 1977 on a 1969 Cadillac engine, the engine can run at a ratio of 1/20.

The least expensive device to trick your electronic fuel injection vehicle ECU to decrease fuel injection is called EFIE (electronic fuel injection enhancer). You will not need this if you are running a carburetor but it is a must if the fuel injection is electronically controlled - you can find the OBD I or II plug-in port on the driver’s side close to your hood release lever. Here is picture of EFIE sold at FuelSaver-MPG:

The above is the single version which handles one upstream O2 sensor. The dual version is also available which allows you to deal with two O2 sensors.

If you are looking for a high-end all-in-one unit, you should check HydroxyTech’s VMU (vehicle management unit) which is really a small touch-screen computer:

About

adminAbout Site Admin: Trained as a chemist in the field of electrochemistry (Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of Calgary supervised by Dr. Viola Birss). So this new way of saving fuel with a cleaner engine exhaust by injecting H2/O2 mixture (HHO) from water electrolysis gets me excited. Currently working on testing various HHO generators and perfecting the electrode design for optimized H2/O2 production.
