The CO2 emission problem seems to have taken the world over by fear. People are getting more and more afraid of the problems that pollution caused by the normal fuels are causing and they know that one day or the other disaster will strike the world. Apart from this there is the fact that the reserves of natural fuel is going down drastically and there are hardly natural fuel reserves left that will be able to serve the world for more than a few decades. Once this stage reaches either the cars will stop running or there needs to be some alternative fuels that will help to keep the cars running.

Most major auto dealers, including Honda are researching and trying to come out with cars that run successfully on alternative fuels. Honda had unveiled its FCX clarity, a car that is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell at the Los Angeles auto show. Those who are familiar with this show know that the latest alternative fuel ideas are often unveiled over there. The Honda FCX clarity is fashioned on a concept vehicle that had been launched by the company in 2005.

Initially a limited number of these cars will be leased out to some privileged drivers of South California. It will be offered for a lease period of three years at $600 per month. This will make it the first fuel cell driven car that will be available to the general public.

Hydrogen Car Fuel

People wonder about the hydrogen car fuel this is being discussed about everywhere and are wondering if it actually works or not. You can be rest assured that these hydrogen alternative car fuels that people are talking about do actually work and they are helping people to cut the costs of their fuel bills by half or more. There are many kits available in the market that can help you reduce your fuel costs by a substantial amount. With the prices of gas rising every day, these hydrogen car fuel kits are becoming popular day by day. Do not be fooled by the sales pitch on these kits. While they proclaim that with them installed your car will run on water, the reality is that these kits work on a mixture comprising of both water and gasoline.

Instead of gasoline, your car will be running on what is scientifically known as HHO and this fuel is far more efficient than the gasoline it is running on now. If you so want, you can have the kit installed by an efficient engineer. However, if you want to save money, you can install the HHO kit all by yourself. These kits are not very costly and come for around $50-100 along with illustrated manuals. Start saving money that you are wasting on fuel by installing a hydrogen car fuel kit and do not forget that it will not just run on tap water and that you will have to take HHO fuel for it.

Convert Your Car to Use HHO Gas for only $300

If you want to have your car converted into a hybrid that can run both on regular gas and alternative fuel, kits are now widely available for only $300. The main idea is to put an HHO gas device under the hood of your car so it can process both gas and water to increase its mileage.

HHO gas is very popular these days and a lot of manufacturers have invested so much in making kits available to everyone. Everybody wants their regular cars to be more fuel efficient and save on gas money and that’s a fact. It’s a good thing that these HHO gas devices had hit the lowest price in the market, which is at $300.

Before, ebooks were released to instruct car hobbyists and car mechanics how to make and install an HHO gas device under the hood of their car by themselves. But as time went on, the need to make kits or actually install the device for people who knew nothing about cars are rising. Soon, many companies are providing the HHO gas conversion setup services to the rest of the car users from all over.

With HHO gas getting more and more popular these days, it won’t be too soon to have imported gas prices go down considerably. With imported gasoline’s decreasing demand in the world market, there’s no reason why it has to be sold at a very high price.

Hydrogen Cell Videos

1. Hydrogen FX Cells running 2HP engine on HHO 5.5 liters

HHO torch experiments melting metal, Hydrogen FX is a professionally built 316 stainless steal hydrogen electrolyzer for use as a fuel saving device or small HHO torch. All internal parts are built form computer stamped 16 gauge 316 stainless steal guaranteed to last. the outer case is ABS plastic caplable to withstand very high temperatures. This unit produces a true 2 liters of HHO per minute and only uses distilled white vinegar for electrolyte. No harsh chemicals. This HHO cell will pull up to 30 amps at 12vdc. Unlike other HHO generators for sale, HydrogenFX shows you the actual Liter per min flow in our videos with a calibrated Flow meter.
In our experiments we have powered a 2 horse power Brigs and Stratton engine using 4 of our HHO generators in series producing over 6 liters of HHO LPM . You can see these in our videos before you buy. You can also see photos of the internal 316 stainless steal plates that Hydrogen FX uses. We have nothing to hide. This technology is not new, What you are paying for here is craftsmanship and efficiency.

2. Hydrogen Cell HHO Dual 4 Wall Plate – Home Depot (Car Trial)

7th Documented Video Test of a *NEW* DUAL 4 Plate HHO Cell w/ Tap Water and Baking Soda as Electrolyte (1/2 teaspoon).

HHO-Cell Test: 1 Liter per Minute Output

This is just a TRIAL RUN @ idle:
Nissan Altima (1998)
2.4Liter Engine – 4 Cylinder.
MPG: (Stock) 28-city/36-highway

Heat is a HUGE consideration when dealing with these type of hho-cells. First off, you will get a type of run-away effect once you get temperature spike of upwards 140°-180°F. Once this occurs your run-away results in HUGE Amperage increase on the hho-cell.

This is something to consider because it is under your hood of your car with an engine specifically set-up to run @ 220°F or more if stuck in traffic. Ideas for cooling must be thought about, especially with a small cell like ours that you see here.

Plus the winter is near, so I believe the placement near the exhaust header is perfect. Also, another bump in the road is the fact of freezing temperatures in our cell when not in use during the cold months. Possibly Alcohol additive for a type of Anti-freeze???

Anyone with any ideas please be sure to share them with us.

Other modifications prior to this video included: newer design upgraded to weatherproof enclosure, modified with a plexiglass (quarter inch think) viewing window for study.

Further upgraded to the cell Stinger 4-gauge wire with the addition of 8-gauge audio power cables also. With electrician grade heavy duty crimp down connectors, similar to stay-cons.

The actual plates are 98% of the components being stainless steel (non magnetic) screws/bolts to further our experiments. Spacing is around 1/16th of an Inch. This set-up is regarding a dual 4 wall plate config, store bought from Home Depot.

Baking Soda is our electrolyte. The plates are configured to be 2+(pos) and 2-(neg) .. or can be switched around.

The Secret of Hydrogen Car Cell Fuel

Do you want to know more about how to use hydrogen as the fuel cell of your car? It is essential at present as the conventional gas prices are raising day by day. A lot of drivers are switching to hydrogen power to run their cars. It is predicted that the price of hydrogen fuel car conventional gas will rise to US$ 150 per barrel by July, 2008 and I feel elated that I have discovered water fuel cell technology.

The ways Hydrogen acts as fuel cell

Throughout the world, many people are choosing water to run their car today. It was not so much popular earlier and the sharp rise in the conventional fuel cell price has triggered the use of this technology. But the hard truth is you have use gasoline along with water to make your car run. You have to set a low cost fuel cell combustion system that will extract Hydrogen gas from water.

The alternatives to high gas price

By far, using hydrogen as fuel cell is the best option available at the moment. But if you still don’t want to dump your old car, there are quite a few alternatives for us. If you are living a big city, you can use the public transport system. You can always a buy a new hybrid car, which of course a bit costlier than the conventional car.

Why there is craze behind the hybrid car

The engines run by hydrogen power are quieter and smoother. You will notice an increase in the mileage. Pollution is also less as there is almost complete combustion of the fuel cell.

Most importantly, there are several cost saving benefits. When you are running your car on water, you will be refunded like IRS refund in a hybrid car. The hydrogen power system can be made with a cost around US$ 150 in your home surrounding. You will be saving a lot of money as the gasoline requirement is less.
