What type of hydrogen on demand generator kit to buy and where to buy it

If you’re still worried about the price of gasoline or diesel, and if you’re going back to the dizzying heights of 2008, then perhaps you should consider on-demand hydrogen fuel upgrading systems to save fuel for your car.

These systems have gained popularity in the last 12 months with the advent of expensive gasoline in most countries of the world, and I have seen various types of kits.

Why bother with this technology?

Although prices have dropped to a realistic level, you can still save money, perhaps around 30% on your fuel bills. So for a 60 liter fuel tank this still gives you a saving of around 6 liters or, at today’s (Jan 2009) Australian prices, around AUD6.00.

By installing an electrolyser kit, you can get it every time you refuel, so the savings go on and on.

In simple terms, these systems consist of one or more interconnected cells filled with water and an electrolyte. When the engine is running, a current passes through the electrodes in the cells and electrolysis occurs, releasing hydrogen to be fed directly into the engine’s air intake. This provides additional fuel, one that burns with zero emissions. Hydrogen also causes gasoline or diesel to burn more completely, resulting in a cleaner exhaust from the engine.

It is safe?

Yes!! Although hydrogen is a highly flammable gas, it is only produced when the engine is running and then burns immediately. That’s why it’s called hydrogen on demand (HOD). There is no hydrogen tank in the car to ignite and cause an explosion.

What about maintenance?

Hydrogen-on-demand systems produce hydrogen through the electrolysis of water, making it necessary to occasionally refill the cells with distilled water.

What are the gains likely to be?

We have installed different types of kits in our cars over the last 6 months and found two that really outperform the others:

• Upgrade V2 Water4Gas Kit
• Hydrocharger.

The former is a much improved version of the original glass bottle kit as advertised in the Water4Gas manuals, and the latter is a completely different design made of high quality plastic with stainless steel electrodes.

upgrade kit

After installing them in cars of various sizes, the gain has averaged around 35% with a much smoother running engine and less exhaust emissions. This kit comes complete, ready to install, with hoses, wiring, and electrolyte, and the kits contain a number of electrolyzers based on the size of your car’s engine. One is suitable for up to 3000cc.

The electrodes are constructed of stainless steel plates instead of the original wire electrodes and can now produce up to 5 times the gas of the original water4Gas design, requiring fewer electrolysers for large engines.

hydrocharger

This is a newer design fuel booster kit built with a quality plastic housing and top complete with hydrogen outlet, all wiring and an easy fill cap. This also has stainless steel electrodes which can also produce more HHO gas than most designs.

By using a plastic container, the slight chance of glass electrolysers shattering from excess heat has been eliminated as the plastic will withstand over 100°C and have a water level indicator for easy maintenance.

How much do these kits cost?

Costs depend on the size of your car’s engine, and since they come complete, it’s easy for a mechanically minded person to install them on any car. Both types come with full installation instructions.

As a rule of thumb, you should be able to recoup the cost in less than 10,000km of driving, or less than 12 months, and after that you’re still saving $3/100km.

We’ve bought both types of kits and installed them, and we’ve also spent a lot of time on the internet going through them, finding people who have installed them, and seeing which ones work and which ones don’t.
