Hydrogen Conversion, Tips On How To Make This Process Work!

The term hydrogen conversion is heard a lot these days, particularly on the internet where it is quite common. Those of us wanting to cut down on gas and save money have probably considered many different fuel alternatives. However, many of them are expensive...

Lately there has been a surge of the so-called "water as fuel" technology. It provides a way for the average driver to build an affordable HHO gas-producing unit that will lead to gas savings and increase performance. This hydrogen conversion, as it is also commonly called, is affordable only if one buys the instructions to build the unit, ready-built units are available but often cost many thousands of dollars.

Once you have bought the instructions (usually online), you have to head off to the hardware store. Typical things that you`ll need will be: a large jar, wire, piping, solder, a few electronic parts, soldering iron, valves, vacuum valve. Without getting into too much detail, suffice it to say that everything will take an afternoon to get and will set you back about $100. As long as you follow your instructions you can get your unit built in about two days. Minor electronic knowledge is required, nothing more than soldering a few electronic parts to some wires really.

The way that hydrogen conversion works is quite fascinating and it all revolves around water electrolysis. When you assemble your unit you will make what`s known as a water electrolysis unit. You`ll connect this device to your car battery via some electronic components that help regulate the power flow. When electricity is applied to a mixture of distilled water it will produce HHO gas. This gas is a mixture of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. This is then fed into your fuel manifold to mix with the gasoline. Make sure to adjust your engine`s timings in accordance to what the instructions say.

The hydrogen conversion procedure will work and provide positive results if installed correctly. One can expect a 10 to 50% increase in gas mileage in a good installation. Hope this helps with any questions on this interesting subject!
