hydrogen alternative fuel vehicles

Call it by any name you like, water or hydrogen fuel, they are talking about only one thing. Some years ago, people may have been reluctant to try the hydrogen technology, but today it has become a popular concept, especially in affluent countries like the US, Europe and Canada. If you also want to use hydrogen gas power, it is imperative that you convert your car today. The Earth is made up of seventy five percent water and that you learned in your primary days so armed with this fact, scientists conducted various research to prove that water can be a source of power. Regrettably, water alone can’t be used to power a vehicle and what you need is a converting tool and an HHO generator – but still, water is an integral part in hydrogen gas technology.

The scientist, who studied the possibility of water being used as an green fuel most, is Nikola Tesla. Not all of his studies have been provided to the world, though there are lots of innovations credited to his name. Since most of the work of this scientist dealt with highly scientific and futuristic matter, it is hard for the common man to comprehend all of them. hydrogen technology is not new and it has been in existence for many many years now but just recently, hydrogen gas powered cars have gained much popularity. This is bad news for the gas making companies, as this is a blow to their revenue, if an increased number of hydrogen-powered vehicles are made available.

Then again, hydrogen-powered vehicles are attracting more world awareness and knowledge about highly debated matters like global warming and increasing world pollution. At present, 1,000′s of modified cars are now using ‘water’ to fuel their vehicles, but of course, you need to convert first your car before you can make use of water to power your car. It may sound incredible, but the mileage of the car can increase by 75 to 100%. Even so, the facts prove it: in fact, if you try to check online customer testimonies and product reviews, you will read positive recommendations about hydrogen gas power.

I am sure you have witnessed TV programs where users are interviewed on hydrogen gas technology and you can see the satisfaction on their faces. If you’re a car owner and your head hurts badly because of the expensive cost of gasoline, change your car now. The job is simple and no mechanic is necessary, because you can do the conversion yourself or buy a ready-to-use HHO generator and conversion instrument. Though the latter may seem a bit costly, with an 0 as its price tag, but be assured that once you have converted your car with the help of hydrogen gas power cell technology, you are sure of years of enjoyable driving without any hole in your pocket for gas prices. Over and above saving fabulous amounts on oil, the car also operates at maximum efficiency. Gear shifting gets smoother and there is significant noise decrease.

So for an economically operated and hassle-free driving experience, switch your car to hydrogen gas fuel immediately. Anyway, if ever you’re not satisfied with the performance of the hydrogen technology, you can readily remove it from your car and return to using gas to power your vehicle. Because the percentage of people who are satisfied with hydrogen fuel is very high, chances are that you could be content too. This has been so far the best source of clean fuel for driving cars so join the happy drivers, produce savings, and save the planet.

hydrogen generator for your car

Call it by any name you like, water or hydrogen fuel, they are discussing only one thing. years ago people could have been reluctant to use hydrogen gas technology, but today they are embracing it, especially countries like the US, Europe and Canada. To be able to use hydrogen gas fuel, you have to convert your vehicle immediately. With the basic truth, that earth consists of 75% water, scientists decided to prove through research that water can be an alternate generator of fuel energy. It is true that water as a stand alone element cannot be used to run a car, as a conversion tool is needed as well as a HHO generator, but it is still a basic ingredient of hydrogen technology.

One of the greatest scientists who studied about the viability of water as source of clean fuel is Nikola Tesla. Although he had made a lot of breakthroughs, not all his research were not revealed to the world. Since most of the work of this scientist dealt with highly scientific and futuristic matter, it is hard for the regular man to comprehend all of them. Though there is nothing novel about hydrogen gas technology, as it has been existent for some time now, it is the hydrogen-powered cars, which has caught world attention recently. This is bad news for the oil making companies, as this is a blow to their revenue, if an increased number of hydrogen-powered vehicles are made available.

On the other hand, hydrogen fueled vehicles are attracting more world awareness and knowledge about highly debated matters like global warming and increasing world pollution. At present, thousands of converted cars are now using ‘water’ to fuel their vehicles, but of course, you need to change first your car before you can make use of water to power your car. It may sound incredible, but the mileage of the car can increase by 75 to 100%. All the same, the facts prove it: in fact, if you try to check online customer testimonies and product reviews, you will read positive testimonials about hydrogen gas power.

I am sure you have witnessed TV programs where users are interviewed on hydrogen gas technology and you can see the satisfaction on their faces. If as a car owner, the rising cost of fuel is giving you nightmares, convert your car immediately. The job is simple and no mechanic is required, because you can do the converting yourself or buy a ready-to-use HHO generator and conversion instrument. The latter is a bit expensive because it can cost about eight hundred dollars, but once the hydrogen fuel cell technology is installed in your car, you can enjoy many many years of driving with reduced gasoline expenditures. Aside from saving massive money, your car will function at its best. Gear shifting gets smoother and there is significant noise reduction.

So for an economically operated and hassle-free driving experience, switch your car to hydrogen fuel immediately. Anyway, if ever you’re not satisfied with the performance of the hydrogen technology, you can readily remove it from your car and return to using gas to power your vehicle. Because the percentage of people who are satisfied with hydrogen fuel is very high, chances are that you could be content too. This has so far been the best source of green fuel so what are you waiting for? Join the club of many satisfied users, save lots of money for gas and give back something to Mother Earth.

hydrogen only generators

Historically whenever gas prices have gone up, charlatans have come out of the woodwork offering drivers all manner of devices that are claimed to provide dramatic reductions in fuel consumption. From magnets that are clamped to fuel lines, to assorted vacuum advance devices, and intake vortex generators and magical carburetors none of these have actually been demonstrated to work. Many of these old school devices can still be found, but one of the most popular new devices is the on-board hydrogen generator and injection system.

The basic premise is that injecting hydrogen into the intake stream will displace some of the gasoline required, reducing both gasoline consumption and emissions. Just have hydrogen and injecting it will actually achieve this result since the hydrogen burns and produces only water and trace amounts of NOx (although much lower than gasoline or diesel engines). Burning more hydrogen means less gasoline is consumed. Easy right? Not so fast there buddy! Where does that hydrogen come from? The marketers out there are selling on-board hydrogen generators which are claimed to provide enough hydrogen to reduce gas consumption by 30-40 percent or more. Is this plausible? Not even close. Read on after the jump to find out why.

[Sources: Wikipedia, Hypertextbook.com, answers.com]Electrolysis of water is a process that’s been known for over two centuries. It’s not complicated, just stick a pair of electrodes into water and pass a current through them. Oxygen bubbles will be produced on one electrode and hydrogen on the other. Unfortunately as with all such processes it isn’t 100 percent efficient. Some of the electrical energy put into the system is lost as heat. The process has gotten better over the years but it is still about 70 percent efficient at best.

If you convert 1 US gallon of water to hydrogen by electrolysis it will yield 420.6 g of hydrogen (H2 gas). If the electrolysis is 100% efficient it will take 16.821 kWh of electricity to crack 1 gallon of water. That 420 g of H2 only has an energy density of 14 kWh (33.3 kWh/kg * .4206). That’s 16% more energy to crack the water than you get out of it. At 70 percent efficiency that means it would take about 24 kWh of input energy to produce hydrogen with 14 kWh of energy output.

To electrolyze water on the fly means the energy has to come from the engine via the alternator. Whatever electricity the alternator produces has to come from mechanical energy to drive it via the belt from the engine. That means the 24 kWh of energy will ultimately come from the engine while only 14 kWh will get put back in. As a result of this parasitic loss, on board hydrogen generation is an energy negative process that will actually reduce the total fuel efficiency of the vehicle because the load on the engine will be increased.

The only way that the fuel consumption of the vehicle can be reduced by hydrogen injection is to produce the hydrogen outside of the vehicle and store it as a gas on board. The total energy requirement doesn’t change but off board generation opens up the possibility of using renewable sources like solar and wind to power the electrolysis.

With all of those companies selling on board electrolysis systems claiming to reduce fuel consumption there have even been news reports claiming these systems work. The answer to this is cheating. Ask any veteran NASCAR mechanic about places to store extra fuel on board a car. The same thing is being done by these scam artists. They are using stored hydrogen somewhere on board to make it seem as though their systems are beneficial.

Hydrogen injection is fine as a stop-gap but the hydrogen must be produced outside the vehicle. If home electrolysis systems or hydrogen filling stations are readily available, existing cars could fairly easily be retro-fitted with injection systems to reduce gasoline consumption. In India they are already experimenting with vehicles fueled by hythane (a blend of natural gas and hydrogen) but that is produced and sold that way.

The bottom line is don’t waste your money on these devices. Want to save money and use less fuel? Drive less, consolidate trips, drive less aggressively.
