Water For Gas Explained

With the increase in gas prices lately, many people are focused on getting the best mileage per liter of fuel that they use in their car. For instance, two common ways to save fuel are to employ more efficient driving strategies (or hypermiling) or to organize some form of car pooling. One idea that is designed to get better fuel mileage is to create a hydrogen generator. There is a wide variety of products available right now that will show you how to make and install such a generator in your car. This article will cover the basic principles behind the method and what to look for in such products.

The hydrogen generator that is described in these products is commonly referred to as a water to gas generator too. The system splits water (H2O) into it's constituent elements hydrogen, hydrogen and oxygen (HHO) through electrolysis.

Electrolysis in this system is simply a jar with a mixture of water and a substance that makes the conductivity better. Two terminals, conductors of electricity, are placed in the water solution. Electric current that is supplied by the car battery, passes from one terminal to the other via the water solution, a resulting chemcial reaction occurs in the water. The resulting chemical reaction causes hydrogen gas to go to the negative terminal and oxygen gas to go to the positive terminal.

The hydrogen gas that is created is passed into the inlet manifold of the car. Adding hydrogen gas into the carburettor has the effect of improving the efficiency of the fuel (gasoline) entering the carburettor. This is thought to increase the amount of miles you get per gallon of gasoline.

Most people agree that adding hydrogen to the gasoline mix can improve the mileage you get from your automobile. However, for many people that disagree that these systems can actually work, they dispute that the amount of hydrogen gas that can be produced can make a real difference. Or they point out that the energy needed to power such a system, that comes from the battery that is charged by the car engine itself is impossible as some energy has to be lost in this process.

The people selling these products disagree with these comments and believe that their methods can make a real improvement to the amount of gas you need to use each week. This will save you cash on your car's gas bills with time if you increase the mileage you get per liter of gasoline to any extent. A number of these products also include additional information that teaches you how to be more economical in your driving habits so if you take this information to heart, this may also be saving you money on gas consumption.

There are many products available, upwards of 50 at last count. Nearly all detail the same method. Some of the information products seem to be very similar, which implies that the creators of these products have bought the rights to the same product. Of course, they could have rewritten the original idea to produce a new book.

All these products come with a guarantee of some form. So if you decide on one of these products then try to install it into your vehicle as quickly as possible. Check the changes in your fuel consumption, if you are not happy with the changes then apply for a refund.
