DIY HHO Conversion Kits - Can You Make Your Own Hydrogen Car?

!: DIY HHO Conversion Kits - Can You Make Your Own Hydrogen Car?

If you're looking to save money on gas, then a Hydrogen conversion kit is one of the best ways to save some money without the expense of buying a smaller car, or a hybrid. You may have heard of them referred to as HHO systems, Brown's gas, or Oxyhydrogen. Some people also call it running your car on water.

The kits use a process that was patented in 1977 by a man named Yull Brown, which is why HHO is often referred to as Brown's Gas. It involves running electricity through water in a process called electrolysis to cause the water (H2O) to break apart into two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom (hence, HHO).

The gas is then mixed with the air going into your car's engine and adds to the gas vapor that is burned to make the engine run.

For a variety of reasons (one being that tanks to haul all that water and store the hydrogen in your car are expensive and heavy). It's not possible to run your car solely on HHO, but it is possible to get as much as a 50% increase in mileage. That's like paying .91 a gallon at today's prices!

Some of the benefits of adding a hydrogen conversion kit to your car are:

Make your engine more efficient and increase power.

Make your car friendlier to the environment

Reduce wear on your engine due to less engine strain and increase its longevity

Possibly qualify for IRS tax credits due to using green technology

Have cleaner emissions that are better for the environment

Lower maintenance costs

And of course, improve your mileage by as much as 50%!

The alterations you need to make to your car are minor, and anyone who has some ability to work with tools can create an HHO device. If you aren't comfortable with that, any mechanic can complete the task as well.

While there are expensive units on the market that you can purchase and have professionally installed in your car, they run from 0-00 and take awhile to recoup the costs. Believe it or not you can buy all the parts to make one down at your local hardware store.

A basic kit can be made with only the following, though to get the most bang for your buck a system with a condensation collector is recommended to prevent getting steam and water vapor in your engine:

Distilled water

Quart sized container (many guides also use PVC plumbing pipe as it's more solid)

Electrical wire

Rubber vacuum hose

Baking soda

Adding this system to your car is quick and simple and can also be removed just as quickly as well. It causes no damage to your engine and won't void your warranty. It can even be added to diesels.

Overheating. You would know your car is overheating when steam starts to billow from your engine compartment. There are many reasons why a car overheats; one could be the lack of water and coolant in the cooling system.

Male vs. Female Car Preferences

!: Male vs. Female Car Preferences

Registration records of new 2005 and 2006 models cars from January 2006 to the present reveal much about American men's and women's preferences for cars.

Overall, men tend to love luxurious, high performance cars, preferably with a horsepower of 367 or more (for women, the top five models had an average 172 hp). On the other hand, women prefer cars that are affordable, practical and safe, and with a dash of design flair, as evidenced by the Eclipse Spyder convertible, which had the highest percentage of female registrants of any car on the market. It was followed by Toyota Motor's RAV4 sport utility vehicle (SUV).Another Eclipse model, the hardtop Eclipse coupe, ranked as fourth highest in registration, marking it out as a true women's car.

The survey prompted one observer to comment that the 2003 movie "2 Fast 2 Furious" prominently featured the Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder but that it was portrayed as a man's car belonging to the angry, muscular ex-convict played by Tyrese Gibson. In the movie, the Gibson character drove a purple Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder.

It was an interesting point. Registration records do, in fact, indicate that men tend to buy feminine cars but women rarely purchase male-oriented, testosterone-fueled sports and luxury cars. For instance, the Eclipse Spyder, which is the most popular car among women, was also the car of choice among 34.2% of male registrants.

On the other hand, when it came to the most popular male vehicles in the market, registration figures showed that women don't seem to be all that interested. For instance, not a single woman registered Honda Motor's Acura NSX sports car this year while only 1.8% of registrants of DaimlerChrysler's Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG performance sedan have been women.

As far as particular brands are concerned, the idea that you can sell a woman's car to a man, but you can't sell a man's car to a woman also holds true .The brand that has had the highest percentage of female registrants so far this year, General Motors' Pontiac subsidiary, still sells cars to a buying populace that is 47% male. Meanwhile, DaimlerChrysler's Dodge subsidiary, which has the highest percentage of male registrants -- and only 14.8% of people who have registered a Dodge this year have been women.
