Ok so you have just heard of HHO gas or ‘running your car using water’ right? Actually HHO gas has been around for a few decades but is just now becoming more mainstream due to rising gas prices and more demand on alternative fuel sources.

So the natural first question to answer is: What is HHO?

A: Wikipedia defines HHO or Oxyhydrogen as: a mixture of hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) gases, typically in a 2:1 molar ratio, the same proportion as water.This gaseous mixture is used for torches for the processing of refractory materials.

Now what are the benefits of HHO gas?

A: HHO greatly increase the fuel efficiency of cars in which it is used. HHO gas is created through a simple process of electrolysis – the car does not run just on HHO but rather a hybrid of gasoline and HHO which powers the car. HHO has been shown to increase fuel efficiency by as much as 60% in some cases.

What are some common uses of HHO Gas?

A: HHO can be used in torches which are used ion the manufacturing processes of refractory material. Limelights are another application of HHO where light is produced by heating lime. HHO can be explosive and for this reason, limelights have for the most part been phased out in favor of electric lighting.

What are some current methods HHO gas is being used on cars?

A: HHO has been pressed into service helping cars to run on water. There are many manuals on doing this conversion available online which can give you step by step instructions in making your own HHO kits and installing them in your vehicle. When talking about the automotive applications of HHO it is often called Brown gas.

Ok this all sounds great but is HHO danerous?

A: It is NOT DANGEROUS as long as you follow the guidelines and do everything as you’re supposed to. You will not BLOW UP as the HHO that you produce in the fuel cell is extracted and then used on demand, so there is no chance of it blowing up. Also nothing is pressurized, there are no pressurized containers filled with hydrogen fuel so you don’t have to worry about anything going off like a bomb. If we were to store the HHO and pressurize the container then there would be cause for concern as a spark of any sort would set it off – the way WE do it, there is NO CHANCE OF AN EXPLOSION. I hope that puts a few minds at rest for those who think hydrogen = danger – it does not.

Where can I learn more and make my own HHO Gas kit for my car?

A: The best resource we have found to date that tells you step by step on how to create your own is Run Your Car On Water.
