my fathers hydrogen fuel cell

this is my fathers hydrogen fuel cell, he made it to test if they save you fuel when used along with a normal diesel engined car, we will upload the MPG results and then we can all see if they do anything!
i am working on my own cells (all stainless steel plate type)and will post the details and results of these too.
soon we will see.

If this actually worked, why not just build a generator that runs on the gas to create the electricity needed to create the gas. I mean, If you get more energy out of it then it uses, it would work. BUT since that violates laws of physics, it does nothing for you at all. This system DOES NOT WORK people, do not waste your time on it.

Someone suggested solar powered electrolyzer, that has merit, just not on a car. The extra weight would just be using up the added fuel.

Ok, some people think it does not work, for me the design i used it worked, it does has problems with overheating on the cell/generator (what ever you want to call it), mainly if its left on for more than 20 miles in hot weather, but the figures i got are correct.

i would say try it and see for yourself, but dont condem them on the sayso of others who have not tested them, dont let others do your thinking for you, if you have not tested one to prove they dont work you have no right to condem.

Yes its a drain on the alternator, it gets quite hot. What they do is make a small amount of hydrogen that goes into the air intake, thats enough to enhance the burn efficiency of the diesel/air mix in the combustion chamber.

To get the fuel saving you need at least 1.8 litres per minute of gas from the generator, coffee jar designs on the net produce very little, we tested one of those and got no extra mpg, but on my own design producing 2 litres per min it worked.

I am an electric/mechanical engineer, my father is 40 years in the oil industry (ex BP and Philips Petroleum chief super intendant, the top guy at oil refinerys), we are not idiots, ours works, some dont as they dont make enough gas.

Im afraid thats the last reply anyone will get on the subject; believe me or not it makes no difference to me, I AM getting the savings I claim!

To those who want to have a go I say try it and make up your own mind.

Hydrogen fuel cells CONSUME hydrogen and creates electricity.

What you have here is the opposite, it consumes electricity and PRODUCES hydrogen. It's the exact opposite.

@knineu02 How much do you think a solar panel weighs? Its actually less than you spare tire. You can do a weight reduction to compensate for the extra weight.

@knineu02 i've heard of cars running only off of hydrogen like this, the question is.. why dont you see it everyday or at all?

[zakattakattakk]

That's I'll frum englund

[dennishubert]

So untill someone can run their engine off the hho that there producing with only the electric from their alternator (no batteries) powering their hho production an no external fuel sources Then I won't buy it

[dennishubert]

Ok first off. You need way more energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen than you will ever get in return from burning the hydrogen a oxygen. I havnt tested any of these devices myself. But perhaps a small increase in mpg could be seen because the additional o2 helps a poorly tuned engine with some clogged ass air filter to actually breathe. All the electricity to split the water comes from your alternator. But it's not free. It takes about 5 hp to spin up that alternator. So untill

Only problem with this is I am still inputing from my fuel pump and carberator being a gas engine and not diesel :the same amount of fuel cunsumption hence probley using the same amount of fuel as before. what we need to do is completely convert the car to hydrogen in order to acutally make a real deal here and you know what it is completly possible .

[urbex2007]

@hydrodaf to save diesel and use less, you would need to tell the ECU to inject less or lower the fuel pressure - how did your unit do this? If you say it doesn't and you didn't then it's all in your head.

You're probably the easily led gullible type who doesn't even know how a basic engine functions!

It's almost as bad as boy racers confusing noise with power when all it shows is restriction. You can con most people due to their lack of knowledge, that's why people make money out of you...

[toyu17]

umm dumb question, what car part do you acyually connet it to?????

[MrRuzo214]

how many liters per minute of hho gas do people recommend me to inject into a V8 6.2 liter engine ?

[sentientagent]

NAAAAAHHHHH STOP USING THESE THINGS AND BUY MY OIL!

next thing you know i'm gonna have to sell my 747 and fly first class on a public airline.
