Water For Gas - An Overview of HHO Technology

HHO is better known as oxyhydrogen, using two parts hydrogen to one part oxygen, the same ratio found in water. As a gas, it is highly combustible and has been used for several applications. The most common production method for HHO technology is water electrolysis, wherein electricity is used to separate the water molecules. This method has been used for well over 100 years and is still in practice today.

One of the most well known uses of HHO technology is the limelight. In this application, a flame produced by oxyhydrogen is directed to lime (calcium oxide) to produce bright light, often used for theaters and stages through the 19th century . The advent of electric lighting quickly made limelight an outdated method for producing vibrant, incandescent light.

The welding industry has benefited from HHO technology for decades, thanks to the oxyhydrogen torch. Here we see hydrogen burned with oxygen to produce an intense flame, hot enough to work on glass, metal, and assorted plastics. One advantage of HHO technology found here is the distance between the torch's tip and the flame itself, which is often large enough to keep the tip relatively cool to the touch.

Today's main interest in HHO technology is for use in the automotive industry. With gas prices at an all-time high, many people are looking for ways to make their vehicle more fuel efficient. The average gasoline engine is very inefficient, utilizing only about 20% of the power created in the combustion chamber. The remaining majority becomes carbon deposits or it burned off as heat. The use of HHO technology in vehicles involves creating oxyhydrogen and getting it into the intake manifold, where it eventually reaches the combustion chamber. Having oxyhydrogen in the combustions chamber helps the engine burn gasoline more efficiently, which increases fuel economy as well as improving performance.

Detractors argue that the resources exerted to create the oxyhydrogen in automotive applications are greater than the results, technically making it less efficient than a standard combustion engine. While the jury is still out on all the pros and cons, the use of HHO technology is here to stay for quite some time and continues to gain momentum.

HHO technology will save you tons of money on gas, and your car will have cleaner emissions. Click here to learn how you can implement it on your vehicle.
