2 years ago, I was filling up my fuel tank at gas pump. The gas prices were not as high as they are right now, but they still were high for that time. And I thought about how great it would be if some alternative resource, that a replace gas would be found. It was invented by that time, I just didn’t know that yet, my friend recommended me to convert car to hydrogen gas. I was stunned at first. So I decided to give it a go. I gathered some additional info about this stuff, so here’s how it works: hydrogen is being produced from water, under a chemical reaction, called electrolyze. I’m not so strong at Chemistry, so can’t really explain the whole process. So, basically, it is called now running a car that can drive on water.
This whole process belongs to a group of scientists from Canada. Thanks to them, many people don’t depend anymore on gasoline. They are not afraid of the upcoming world economic crisis, because of the shortage in oil.
So, the whole convert process costed me roughly 130$. I bought some needed parts from my local mechanic store. The biggest what I paid was for guide, it costed me 69$, but damn, it was worth it. It described SO precisely, that even a child would be able to do this. Even I am not specialized in this sort of deal, but I was able to do the whole process in less than 40 minutes. Thanks to science and technologies, today, I’m using a hydrogen generator to increase gas mileage in a car. And it really helps, I almost doubled my mileage. Just by adding a small attachment to my car’s engine. With the rapidly increasing gas prices, I think you should be thinking of converting your car. It really saves your pocket a lot.

Water Hydrogen Cars – How to Convert a Gas Car to Hydrogen

March 6th, 2010
If you are one of the many people who are looking to make some savings on gasoline, or are trying to find ways to increase gas mileage, then you have probably heard talk of hydrogen for cars and ways to build your own hydrogen generator car. And if you are anything like me, you probably thought that it all sounded ridiculous and a bit Sci Fi.
I first heard about hydrogen for cars a few months ago, and even though I was very skeptical about the whole thing I was so desperate to find ways to increase gas mileage for my car that I decided to do some research. Not only did I find out that building a hydrogen generator car is quite simple, I also found that you can actually buy “hydrogen car kits” with all the equipment needed to covert ordinary cars into hydrogen fuel cars.
Not only are there hydrogen car kits available on the market but you can also buy complete instruction manuals and guides that will show you step-by-step how to build your own hydrogen generator car. With simple parts that you can buy at your local garage or auto store and just some basic mechanical knowledge, it is possible for anyone to turn their cars into hydrogen fuel cars.
So how does a hydrogen generator car work?
In very simple terms these hydrogen fuel cars consist of a small container or vessel of water located under the hood of you car, added to this is a catalyst such as baking soda, and some stainless steel plates. These parts together with a few others are then wired up to your cars battery, which provides the electrical energy needed to power the whole thing.
Once all of this is installed in the correct way and is up and running it is possible to extract Hydrogen Oxygen (HHO) from the water with the use of electrolysis (a process where electricity is used to change water into HHO). This hydrogen gas is then taken into the airflow of the inlet manifold of your car; here it is mixed with the regular gasoline from your fuel tank and burnt in your engine in the usual manner.
As this mixture of gasoline and HHO burns a lot more efficiently and smoothly, it greatly improves your engine performance so giving you better fuel economy. In some cases a report of a 50% increase in MPG has been achieved. It has also been claimed that you get a more powerful response from your engine as well as a smoother ride.
It would seem that building your own hydrogen generator car is not only fairly simple, it is also very affordable. With all the parts needed available at your local garage for $100 or less, and with a host of instructional guides to show you exactly how to go about it, hydrogen fuel cars are definitely the way ahead for anyone looking for ways to increase gas mileage. So why not check it out for yourself, all it takes is a bit of research.
