Project Gas Mileage : The Idea.

[urcaptnspeaking]

I may use my girlfriends car as a test dummy if this actually works

The weight of your batteries still poses a huge threat to your gas mileage.

I am planning on doing the same on my beater. For anyone interested, here is a link for the free plans I am using. There is also some good information on the site.

looks like that getting energy from nothing nonsense.

You aren't getting energy from nothing, you extract hydroxy gas from water. You use Distilled water and Electrolyte. However, the process is very efficient, so the amount of Distilled water and Electrolyte is very little. Luckily both are cheap!

I'm actually interested in doing this on my truck... man if i saw 30mpg FTW...that'd be crazy right now i get in the 17-20mpg range. A question.... what is the bubbler used for that i saw on the smack booster ?

[don henley]

Best of luck! I'm also trying to squeeze 38MPG out of my little daily as well

[ashoe]

Best of luck to you. If this works out i will be completely shocked tho. I saw something about this a while ago and did a bunch of research on it. The conclusion I came to is that the increased load on your alternator from providing the electricity for the electralosis process is going to be more than the energy you get out of burning the hydrogen gas in your engine. And also that the amount of gas produced is simply too small to actually affect your fuel consumption in any way.

quick noobish question, if everyone in the world did this to their cars, wouldn't we run out of water... lol

no, water never goes away, it just changes state of matter

and good luck with the project, if you can make it work it'll be sweet

[yoesh1]

You guys should google search for "Equinox: it runs on water" [minus the colon]... I believe, from the proof I've seen that water electrolysis methods, magnetic resonance engines, etc are viable means of turning wheels on a car... I have been waiting for methods like this to start leaking out as information spreads exponentially. I believe these technologies have been suppressed by many means by those who have the mosr to lose.

Drastic infastructure change is unprofitable.

ANYWAYS.... I don't mean to rant. It's just that I am very interested in alternative energies, as I am planning on living off-grid. Please follow up with your results.

This link got posted about a week ago, but I'm not sure if anybody paid attention to it. It's an SR20DET using this HHO technique.

There seems to be quite a few skeptics. I'll be glad when we finally hear a success story from somebody on our boards.

[boyka240]

Chaluska. do you work at advanced auto-parts? if not i know i guy that is doing the exact same thing as you maybe i could get you to talking to him about this mysterious HHO.

[alnissan]

Updates?

[RubyRed240]

distilled water and electrolyte?

Gatorade Anyone?

[xX RB Xx]

i get 450 miles to a tank but im shifting like a little *****. 2.5, 2, 2, 2. not very exciting but hey its easy on the pockets.. i also run with no a/c just crusin with the windows down

[morbid]

Just run your car off chip oil like that guy from 5th gear.

[B-Boy DuB-L]

Im pretty sure it has to be a diesell enigne to run off chip oil. There is this special chemical thaT YOU PUT INTO A TUB OF IT AND IT SEPERATES IT SO YOU CAN JUST POUR IT INTO YOU FUEL TANK

[B-Boy DuB-L]

i think it equals out to 40c a gallon cuz you have to buy the chemical. But you could go to most resturaunts and get it for free. They pay people to take them away so they will gladly give it to you for free

[boyka240]

I donk know how to spell it, but I think the chemical is " lye": as in lie

[Crautz240]

you could try filling your tires with nitrogen... it's lighter and saves gas

Give Pulstar Spark PLugs a go... heard they see improvement on gas mileage as well

ive read about those... do you really get a gas mileage and hp gain that drastic???

[r34 gtr]

I used to get 500 miles on a tank with my CA18 until I went stand alone (and havn't gotten it tuned yet). Its totally possible to do, I did it for years, and it was frickin awesome. '89 s13 hatch btw.

EDIT: I should also mention I run 225/17s out front and 245/17s out back. 93 octane only, and a really light foot. I always shift at 4-4.5k for normal driving (cut me some slack, its a tiny little engine).

[boyka240]

distilled water and electrolyte?

Gatorade Anyone?

I actually am doing almost the same thing as the first guy, in terms of modifying the car for gas mileage. I've been researching and building prototypical generators for HHO, and i think it would be pretty cool to try gatorade. Maybe I'll quench my cars thirst while I'm at it...

[yoesh1]

i just started experimenting with hho generation myself. fun stuff.

A question.... what is the bubbler used for that i saw on the smack booster ?

The bubbler is essentially a 'flame arrestor'. It separates the bulk of the gas from any flashback (from the intake) that could ignite the hydrogen in the canister.

In theory, anyway.... The water in the bubbler is the barrier- separates the systems. Different systems use different flame arrestors, but anytime you're dealing with hydrogen - you want a flame arrestor inline. Think Hindenburg. ***I bought one of these packet things online. I kinda wish I could get my $50 back. After reading some more and applying what I know about engine management systems, I have decided not to spend the time putting one of these in...The problem I see with the HHO thing is that you are going to raise your ignition temps to what should be dangerous levels for your exhaust valves. Hydrogen burns super hot, I believe. (and if you're using less gasoline, you're forfeiting the cooling effect of the petrol). It may work, but I feel fairly confident that the gains in fuel efficiency (lean burn) are going to be negated with the cost of engine repairs later on.

If anyone does this, I would install an exhaust temp sensor before doing the switch so that you can keep an eye on the change (if any) in ignition temps. I would defintely like to hear a positive experience from somebody credible on the forum.

I hate to be a naysayer, b/c I really want this to work.
