How HHO Cars Work by Allison Savage

HHO stands for hybrid hydrogen oxygen. It is also referred to hydroxyl gas. It is becoming increasingly common for cars to be fitted for HHO conversion, which essentially enables a car to burn water as fuel. HHO doesn't completely replace gasoline, but rather allows the car to run on a hybrid of gas and HHO.

Water is stored under the hood of a vehicle and is ignited by a spark from the battery. This causes an electric current to pass through the water, creating an electrolysis that produces HHO gas. The car engine's air intake valve then pulls this gas, also called Brown gas, into the combustion chamber. There it mixes with gasoline. This hydrogen fuel cell technology significantly improves gas mileage and reduces emissions. The resulting increased fuel efficiency has the added bonus of extending the life of the car, because the HHO breaks down carbon and removes it from the engine.

Although it sounds somewhat complicated, installing an HHO conversion system in your vehicle is simple, safe and inexpensive. Furthermore, the advantages are considerable:

* Saves money on gas - anywhere from 30% to 60% * $2,000 IRS tax rebate upon installation * Cleans the valves of your engine and helps it run cooler, extending its life by an average of 70% * Decreases frequency of oil changes * Modifications are non-intrusive, easily reversible and only take a few hours to complete * Works with gas or diesel * 100% environmentally responsible, as the only byproduct is water * Renewable energy resource - hydrogen and oxygen are in infinite supply

Although the idea of a car running on water sounds like a futuristic notion, hydrogen fuel cell technology is nothing new. The principle was developed in the mid 1800s and scientists from companies such as GE and NASA have been working on developing it since the 1950s.

The 21st century has brought renewed awareness about human impact on the environment and concerns over the cost and availability of oil. Innovative companies have begun emphasizing the power of hydrogen fuel cell technology and making it accessible to average citizens in the form of HHO cars.
