Behind The Scene: How Water To Gas Technology Works

Water4Gas, runyourcaronwater, Fueltrips, drivewithwaterfuel, wam-a-bam. Sound familiar? These would be some of the sites that offer technology to run cars on Hydrogen (HHO or Brown's Gas) which can also be called Hydroxy, that comes from water. These are the main water to gas players in the market nowadays. So how does this technology works?

Whenever you decide to upgrade to this system and decided to give one of these companies a call, they would never ask you to put water to your gas tank. Nor they will ask you to buy a new car with the water to gas engine. Actually, it's very simple. You don't have to change your engine or you car computer.

The water to gas conversion kit comes in with different part that can be easily assembled at home over the weekend. It only requires to use a few basic tools. The conversion kits major parts would be:

Electrolyzer (some call it "Hydrogen Generator"): these would be the containers (quart sized) can contain about 950cc of ordinary tap water or distilled water (based on the requirement of the manufacturer of the conversion kit). It could be glass, metal or plastic containers.

MAP Sensor Enhancer: this electronic device reduces fuel consumption without modifying the engine or the computer

Vaporizer: adds water vapour to the engine to cool it down, improves combustion and fuel economy.

Fuel Heater: pre-heats your gasoline for better gas economy, using only energy from the radiator that gets wasted otherwise, it requires no modifications done to the radiator or its hoses#

PCV Enhancer: another great companion to your hydrogen system that improves the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) function, protects your engine and saves gas.
Fuse holder + wiring. Connect to the 12 volts.

Vacuum T-connector: helps you splice the vacuum line for feeding the hydrogen and oxygen into the engine.

Catalyst: Ordinary baking soda.

Pure hydrogen is dangerous, especially storing it in large compressed amounts in containers. It can result into explosion, however water does not explode. That is why water to gas conversion kits do not use pure hydrogen. Since hydrogen is already compressed or present in water, it is safely and easily released and consumed. So when HHO is produced, the by-product left is water. No harmful chemicals are being emitted from this system. You just need enough space under the hood to place a quart sized jar to put the water and catalyst. Catalyst is the substance that helps the electricity separate water into HHO. Nothing will happen without this material. This system uses ordinary baking soda, you can easily grab it from the nearest grocery store or from your kitchen cabinet.

Water is converted into HHO gas using electricity from the car's battery. The quart-sized water jar with a little bit of baking soda is placed under the hood. This device is connected with some fuse holder and wires to the car's battery. It gets vacuum and electricity from the engine produces the HHO gas. The HHO gas is supplied to the carburaetor. The generator from your battery connects the device via the ignition switch. This prevents hydrogen production when the engine is off and uses less electricity.

Knowing how safe and easy to assemble to water to gas conversion kits provides us a view on an alternative way to save our trips to the pump. But always, it is very important whenever we'll be using this system or any system at all that will help us economically, to follow the provided instructions and know the product that we're going to purchase and use.
