We have a lot of great projects in the works these days. Energy is always at the center of it all. I am tired of high energy bills so I just installed a new corn stove in our living room and I am working on a wind generator. See my short video. See as I start to build and test a 8,000 watt wind generator.

HHO & BEYOND - Well, I have not posted anything for a while now, but I don't want any of you to think that I quit. We have come a long way with our HHO experiment. In fact we have redesigned almost everything including the mix of chemicals used as an electrolyte solution.
As you may know, chemicals such as lye, or amonia are strong bases which can corrode metals. Acids are also corrosive.
So, part of the solution to the problem was mixing a PH neutral buffer solution that is not corrosive and does   more...not make a lot of brown gunk. Water alone does not contain enough energy at the molecular level to run an engine, but it can be split into hydrogen and oxygen with enough electrical energy. There are however, common chemicals that do contain energy and can add their energy to engine combustion. We have combined all of the right things needed to produce hydrogen, oxygen and hydrocarbon compounds which are produced as gasses and vapors. We have moved beyond simple HHO.
Our latest plans, complete with photos, assembly diagrams and detailed information has been completed and put in the PDF file format. The PDF file is password protected on a 1 GB USB flash drive. This flashdrive, it's PDF file, and the password to open the file, are available as a package. Anyone interested in obtaining this very useful little flashdrive and it's file contents should inquire by sending an email to Byte312@aol.com.

I am still working with HHO and I have had both sucesses and failures. I am currently mixing up 1/2 teaspoon of sodium hydroxide in water and amonia. The amonia can just about power the car all by itself.
There is a noticeable increase in power when cloudy amonia is used. There is also no sputtering or stalling.
Our Ford Escort has been a problem. The engine light has been coming on and the mileage has not been good.

We have worked through a lot of problems and we do know what makes the engine sputter and sometimes stall. And we know how to make it stop. This is not to say that HHO is ever a perfect solution.
We also know that engines can be built better to start with so that there would not be any need for HHO. But gee, who is going to make an engine that burns less gas? Not GM or Ford. President Bush missed an important economics lesson some years ago. If the De Bears diamond company wanted to sell   more...a perfect 1 caret diamond for $25 they could by mining more of them. They don't want to lower the price so they control the supply. The oil companies can do the same. If they would refine enough oil early in the Spring, the surplus of gasoline would lower the price. They don't want to sell gas at $1.50 a gallon so they simply hold back the supply. Drilling more holes in the ground will not automatically increase the supply at the pump or stop the hoarding of oil into the strategic oil reserves.  less

HHO is an experiment that can and does work. It does have its problems. It might not be the best solution since it requires constant attention and effort to keep it working well. It works well in my Saturn, but the results are not consistant in our Ford.
The Saturn is a car that was built for fuel ecconomy and this is the kind of car that people should be driving. What people want is a huge vehical with power to spare and with room for six people. They will drive this to work each day alone   more...and wonder why gas costs so much.
The ultimate solution for families with more than one car is to have one electric vehical. With a range of only 100 miles per charge, this kind of car can get a person to work and home again each day. The drive to work and back is most of our diving and it accounts for most of the gasoline consumed in the USA.
This is why I am comitted to converting one of my cars to electric before gas reaches $7 a gallon. We can't live in the past. We might be able to live in the future if we are willing to adapt.
