- In most vehicles HHO generators MUST have an electronic component in order to convince your ECM that your engine doesn’t NEED as much gas.
The “Water for Fuel” concept is rapidly earning its way out of ’scam’ and ’spam’ status, as a handful of companies begin producing well designed, well manufactured products. It is our prediction that on-board HHO gas generators will soon be as common as cold air intakes, upgraded exhaust systems, and high efficiency spark plugs. And yes, we dare to think, that in the far distant future, HHO gas injection could possibly become as common as fuel injection.
We have been fascinated by this concept for years. We learned about electrolysis in high school chemistry – pass an electric current through water in the presence of a catylist, and the H2O molecules are broken into Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms. Plop, plop, fizz, fizz.
Next time we heard about it, we were being deluged with pop-up ads and emails from the listmongers, wanting to sell us a ‘do it yourself’ manual. Yep, bought ‘em and read ‘em and STILL didn’t feel like spending hours pawing through fittings and hoses and knurlbobs and hamfraggets at the hardware store so that I could have yet another unfinished project in a dusty box in the garage ten years from now.
But the NEXT time this concept appeared on our radar screen, instead of a ‘do it yourself manual’ or a ‘assemble it yourself’ kit, we saw professionally engineered systems that actually looked like they belonged under the hood of a vehicle… not on a shelf alongside the aquariums at WalMart.
To take a simple concept and produce a durable, marketable product that you can stake your fortune and business reputation on is not a venture for the faint of heart or the feeble of mind. It takes time, money, trail, error, trail, progress, outside experts, a devoted few believers, and more of the same, cycling and cycling like a starter turning an old diesel engine until, piston by piston, the combustion process kicks in. At first it barely keeps itself going. And it has to warm up for a while. But ultimatey, predictably, and reliably – you have a source of power that can not only move the truck, but thousands of pounds of cargo as well.
That’s what we are seeing NOW in the HHO gas industry. Somewhere between ’starter’ and ‘warmup’. When this rig hits the road, MotorNet Express intends to be on board!
