Sorry, but you spend electricity to split the hydrogen from the oxygen, then you “burn” the hydrogen by letting it recombine with the oxygen to form water again and get back some of the electricity. This is how hydrogen or fuel cell cars work. Look at hydrogen as a kind of battery, not as a fuel, when it comes to cars. And in the end, you spend more energy to make the hydrogen than you get back when you burn it into water again.

Hydrogen is more cheaply found in hydrocarbons like fossil fuels, because you spend less energy to strip the hydrogen from them. But that puts us right back into the fossil fuel cage.

And of course hydrogen must be stored pressurized, which takes energy to do, and you don’t get any of that energy back when you depressurize (depressurizing cools the container and fuel, but how could we use that effectively in a car?).

You can just light hydrogen on fire as if it were a fossil fuel, too, but it’s not very efficient. You’re better off using it for electricity.

The holidays put on the market scores of opportunities representing overindulgence: wasteful dinners, tantalizing treats, etc. Sometimes the lead on can be difficult to resist – resulting in gala burden gain. But via implementing a useful preponderance demise scheme, losing those respite pounds – and uniform lifetime influence jurisdiction – can be okay within your reach.

The holidays offer scores of opportunities throughout overindulgence: extravagant dinners, tantalizing treats, etc. Sometimes the charm can be uncompromising to thwart – resulting in holiday weight gain. But around implementing a personal weight collapse strategy, losing those leave of absence pounds – and orderly lifetime weight control – can be okay within your reach.

If you pull off the high tension lead from one of the spark plugs on a running car engine,and allow the spark to jump into one of the filler holes on top of the cars battery,the battery will not explode.However,the battery will explode if you use other forms of ignition,such as a flame,or spark from a grinder or unguarded electrical source.Consider the fact that the spark from the high tension lead is supposedly providing the ignition for the combustion process involving petrol,and air.Does not the cars battery produce hydrogen when it is being charged by the alternator,or generator?The more inefficient the battery cells are, the more gas it will produce.The answer to why the battery will not explode,is differences in frequencies. That is why the working Joe cell is a frequency generator, NOT just a gas producer.What part does fuel play in the running of an engine?It simply places a frequency,or charge on the incoming air.If you know how to do this by the unlimited frequencies available to us by the use of structured water, or do it electrically,you do not need to use fuel in the conventional sense.

Water injection prevents knocking in engines with high compression ratios. Cars that require premium gasoline take advantage of higher compression to make more power in a similar way.

Something that occurred to me is that heavy machinery began to convert over to diesel fuel in the mid 1930′s. So let’s say the farmer is using a diesel powered spreader for his fertilizer, and gets some diesel on his hands, so he wipes it off on his pants. Then after/while loading in the fertilizer he gets some powder on his pants. Depending on the type of fertilizer he is using this could become a very volatile combination and cause the pants to explode. Please revisit, thanks

Conventional engines are not designed to burn hydrogen gas in this way. You would have to buy one specifically designed to combust hydrogen, or if there is none, pay someone to make it.

Assuming your method of producing the gas is electrolysis, I think it would be a lot more efficient if you used that electricity in batteries to power an electric motor.

It would be a lot more efficient and less damaging to your engine if you use the electricity directly. Instead of using it to split the water molecule, use it to power an electric motor.

125cubic feet per hour with 1050amps to do it. do you know that a gas engine uses this much volume of air in one minute. even in the gas ratio of 10/1, thats still way off the mark, even if you need 1/100 the volume of Hydrogen vs gas. Think about it. Water4Gas shows the 12 volt supply bubbling up hydrogen. do you thnk that amount of hydrogen will do ANYTHING????? think!!!!
its a scam!

It’s not about making a perpetual motion machine or running a car on dirt. It’s about removing inefficiency, and there are agents that can do that whether they are mechanical or chemical. These agents can only be found by experimentation, and when organized science is unwilling to do that, then it’s up to Everyman to do it.
Don’t call people crackpots because they’re willing to try something that’s not mainstream. Oh, wait…they’re only crackpots when they actually succeed.
It’s like, “I couldn’t get it to work for me, so I’m going to trash your success.”
Any improvement is a rung up on the ladder of efficiency whether it can be achieved by one or all. If you get better mileage from pouring the aforementioned dirt into your engine, then more power to you! Just because I can’t prove it works doesn’t mean you didn’t. You might just know something I don’t.
