Hydrogen Booster – Things You Should Know
The mis-information on the Internet about using HHO gas as a Hydrogen Booster for gasoline engines, is mind boggling. I’m going to clear up some of these mis-facts and myths. Anyone using or thinking about using an “OxyHydrogen Electrolyzer”
A basic OxyHydrogen Electrolyzer
on their gasoline or diesel powered vehicles for increased mileage and performance, can do so with a better understanding of this amazing element – OxyHydrogen.
Please remember that I am talking about using electrolysis and water to split the H2O molecule into separate atoms of hydrogen and oxygen (2 parts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen). The results of these two gases are called “OxyHydrogen.” A very powerful gas combination, that when introduced into your hydrocarbon fuel engine with its normal fuel, does some very good things. You can expect to see increased mileage; better performance; removes carbon residue; and emits a much cleaner exhaust on combustion to help the environment.
Hydrogen Booster — Emission Properties
The combustion of hydrogen with oxygen produces — water! However, the combustion of hydrogen with air can produce nitrogen oxides (NOX) from combustion heat. The presence of oxygen in the HHO aids the hydrogen in combusting more efficiently, and cleaner. The extra oxygen also assists the base fuel in better combustion by decreasing the amount of unburned hydrocarbons.
To help hydrocarbon engines run cleaner, they are usually run on the lean side. Running them lean however, creates problems. Trying to ignite lean mixtures is difficult. The result is an incomplete ignition and combustion burn, that adds more unburned hydrocarbon emissions to the environment, lowers performance, and wastes a lot of fuel (approximately 76%).
Using hydrogen to assist the hydrocarbon fuels in internal combustion engines eliminates many problems. OxyHydrogens low ignition and fast burning speed helps the hydrocarbon fuel to ignite easier. Having more efficient ignition to the fuel, reduces misfires, lowers noxious emissions, and raises the performance and fuel economy level. OxyHydrogen is a hydrogen booster for hydrocarbon fuels. Because of the added energy at leaner mixtures, the “Hydrogen-to-Carbon” ratio is increased, improving the engine torque at WOT (wide-open throttle).
OxyHydrogen Flame Speed
Hydrogen’s high flame speeds provide faster, more efficient combustion chamber burns when used with hydrocarbon fuels. The quench areas between the heads and pistons for gasoline engines always leave un-burned fuel. This is called end-gas. There is also an area just above the top ring and piston that also holds end gas. Using the OxyHydrogen gas as a booster, speeds up the combustion chamber flame front, and helps burn the left-over end gas.
Hydrogen also has a high dispersion rate in air compared to gasoline. This allows it to blend into a more uniform mixture of fuel and air. The flame speed for hydrogen is almost an order of magnitude faster than gasoline. By using a hydrogen booster for gasoline, it is possible to come closer to a more efficient Otto 4 cycle thermodynamic engine design.
I have heard it said that when Hydrogen combusts, it “Implodes.” Don’t believe this! When hydrogen is ignited, it behaves as any other very volatile gas. If it is confined with oxygen present, it explodes. If it is in a free state, and because it is 7 times lighter than the air we breathe, it rises, burns and dissipates very quickly.
Hydrogen Thermal Efficiency
The compression ratio of an engine is limited by its ability to resist detonation (knock). A lean hydrogen fuel mixture is less susceptible to detonation than gasoline and can handle higher compression ratios.
Hydrogen Booster — Ignition Systems
Although not necessary, a double sparking ignition might work well with a hydrogen booster system. It would be the closest thing to dual sparks plugs you could use. For a hydrogen assist engine, you should avoid using Platinum-tip spark plugs. Platinum is a catalyst, and it causes hydrogen to oxidize with air.
Conclusion
I’ve tried to touch on points concerning OxyHydrogen that haven’t been addressed very much by anyone. The one thing I didn’t touch on is safety. OxyHydrogen gas is not a joking matter. If handled or used improperly, it can be hazardous. Please, always use common sense and safety precautions when using this gas.
I believe the way to go, is to buy a Hydrogen Conversion “Guide.” That’s what I did. A guide has everything you will need to build, install, and operate a Hydrogen Electrolyzer. Buying a kit is expensive ($800 — $2,000 dollars), and you don’t know what you are getting for sure.
Listen, if you can top off the fluid levels in your car, you can do this project. You can do it all for under $175 dollars, including the guide. It’s not that hard folks. I believe the guide is only $29 dollars. It should pay for everything in less than 2 months — mine did. I looked at a lot of guides before I purchased one, and checked out the top 3 I felt were the best. Please, make your own decision now to buy the #1 guide:
