So...building HHO (Hydrogen) Fuel Cell this weekend....

Well I went over and looked at my boss's brother's car when he drove from salt lake to here with his new fuel cell installed...his 2003 v6 car went from 360 miles a tank freeway to 502 miles a tank freeway...basically boiled down to about 11MPG gain on it.

So we looked at what he had installed and considering its made with a mason jar, and stainless steel wiring and a couple other things you can get at wal-mart and ace hardware, my boss and I decided to give it a go. Although I will say that there are a ton of things the original builder could have (and I will) improved upon....

5 AMP fuse powered it directly off his headlight connection with the ground to his body.

I have the ebay intake and I will be hooking it up to where the breather used to connect to the cam cover...and before you ask no I will NOT be hooking it up to the cam cover.....

I'll take pictures of the build and tell everyone exactly what they need to buy and show the install and everything, and after a week or so I'll post the mileage results....definitely should be good....eh?

I thought HHO was slang for a Happy Hooker.

Haha i know that lol...Hydrogen Hydrogen Oxygen....but considering monoatomic oxygen doesn't burn, its pretty much only Hydrogen..........

yeah they do, but at $200 the cheapest one (i've ever seen) i'd say building it yourself for like 20-40$ is a wayyy better deal....

HHO = Brown's Gas = mixing 2 units of Hydrogen to 1 part "air" (Not oxygen).

HHO is just a fancy Buzzword being used for this.

Yeah your right some did do it not long ago...but all it says (or all I found) was that they did it and the gain they got, not how they did it....and yes how-to is absolutely correct :-P

And now that i have seen the design that actually works, replicating it will be a piece of cake..........

BTW it supposedly adds a couple more HP too and cleans out your engine/car, using salt as a catalyst produces Chlorine or even worse, bleach, which is why I'm using the recommended baking soda lol....

wtf? If this is only 200 to get 11 more mpg im pretty sure every car in america would have it. I guarantee there is a catch.

There is a catch, the theory is only picking up speed now and hasn't been tested and confirmed.

I was reading about this yesterday but need a trusted myth-buster to prove it.
Makes sense to me but I'm no rocket surgeon or brain scientist
