hydrogen power
 
im not exactly sure if this is where this goes but with the rise in gas prices ive been looking for a way to keep driving my truck. 8 mpg kills me...yes i still have my hondas but i still love my big ol chevy! ive been looking into building a hydrogen generator and i was wondering if anyone else had built and tried one before? it seems to be an almost sure fire way to get better fuel mileage and from what i have read in various places it is. hydrogen being the extremely flammable gas that it is should in theory replace some of the gasoline in the cylinder and in turn make the car, truck, van, tractor, whatever you put it on use less fuel. im going to build one this weekend for the chevy and hopefully ill notice some increase im going to assume there is a lot of playing with with the metals used, how much amperage to run, how big of a generator to build etc. if anyone has any expirence with these things whether good or bad i owuld like to know and ill let yall know what i come up with on mine

well most days the civic or the crx is out ridin around but i like to get in the chevy to. untill youve drove a truck on 46s around town you wont understand haha its so much fun. ive spoke with a few pther people about it and they all say it does help your fuel mileage but it vairies so much its not funny. i think there are a lot of variables that come into play when your working with this mess size of the generator, amount of water if its distilled or not, current, how big the cathode and anodes are where the hose is placed etc. im headed to home dopot first thing in the morning and hopefuly ill have some sort of results by tomorrow night ill let yall know what i come up with. chris, if you could pm me and let me in on a little of your genious that woulld be awesome. if not i completely understand as you said this is going to be part of your business. any little bit of info is always appriciated though.

We built an electrolysis hydrogen generator, it wasn't hard.

Just make sure you use materials that don't have a lot of impurities, i.e. stainless steel.

I wish we would have measured the output.

did you put it on anything to see if there were any fuel mileage improvements or gain in power or anything?

We didn't run it off of alternator current like some sites will show you, we just ran it into a lawnmower. It worked.

We didn't test properly though, no wideband, pyrometer, fuel injector to meter/measure gasoline consumption when substituted at the a/f you'd see if used in your car.

Car can't run off of hydrogen it's producing.
