HHO Fuel Cells

Since you have come to this article and are browsing through it, it is likely that you have heard about water cars or water fuel. Some are of the opinion that it is the biggest scam of present times. Gas prices are sky rocketing and one could argue it is perfect timing for a gasoline related scam. But is water fuel actually a scam? Many thoughts would have crossed your mind like “this sounds too good to be true; this sounds fishy; so why aren’t the big automotive manufacturers producing such cars; why isn’t the world using it to end the world’s energy crisis?” etc. etc.

Critics…

Sure there are pessimists with everything. When Edward Jenner was testing a ‘vaccine’ against small pox, back in the early 19th century people went crazy. They said that the vaccine will turn humans into cattle. There is this famous cartoon published in 1801 that predicts how people will grow cattle limbs. But have we not all had the small pox vaccine? Did we become cows? Had Edward Jenner listened to the critics, human kind may even have got wiped out by small pox.of the earth by now.

What do you think the critics of 1950s might have said when they were told that man was going to the moon? Would have been a lot worse than water fuel!

Water Fuel research
Although you and I didn’t know about using water as a fuel, thousands of people have been using the water fuel technology all over the world and research on this has been going on for over half a century. Here is a very partial list of scientists, including a couple of professors who have dedicated their lives for research on water fuel technology together with their patents.

List of researchers
1. Charles H. Garrett – The first to run a car on water fuel in 1932 (US patent 2006676 – Electrolytic Carburator)         
2. Stephen Horvath – 1978 (US Patent 4107008 – Electrolysis method for producing hydrogen and oxygen)
3. Archie H. Blue – 1978 (US Patent 4124463 – Electrolytic cell)
4. Shigeta Hasebe – 1978 (US Patent 4105528 – Apparatus for decomposition of aqueous liquid)
5. Donald A. Kelly – 1981 (US Patent 4256060 – Manifold hydrogen generator units for automotive I.C. engines)
6. Henry K. Puharich – 1983 (US Patent 4394230 – Method and apparatus for splitting water molecules)
7. Stanley A. Meyer – 1992 (US Patent 5149407 – Process and apparatus for the production of fuel gas and the enhanced release of thermal energy from such gas)
8. Stephen Barrie Chambers – 2002 (US Patent 6126794 – An apparatus for producing orthohydrogen and/or parahydrogen)
9. Professor William Rhodes
10. Professor Yull Brown

Impressive ha?

So you wanna start pumping water instead of gas?
Of course NOT! Water has no fuel potential until it’s broken down into hydrogen and oxygen, a process known as electrolysis. Hydrogen known to be one of the most potent energy sources on this planet has often been predicted to replace dependence on fossil fuels like gasoline and diesel (and the middle east). In addition to powering automotives, hydrogen is also used to power entire cities in Denmark and Japan. Water can be split into hydrogen using different methods: electricity, geothermal energy, natural gas, and solar power are few examples. The gaseous product of electrolysis of water is described by many different names: HHO, Brown’s gas, Rhodes gas, oxy-hydrogen are only a few examples.

This is not a brand new science, however it was made available in the public domain only in 2006 and since then, the market has been flooded with water fuel conversion kits. The prices range from $29 to $7000 for really fancy ones. Some are fakes; some over-estimate their potential; and some can save as much as 60% of the monthly gas bill.

Water4gas is one of the most popular water fuel products in the market. But be prepared to filter out the hype.
