Run Your Car On Water - The Hidden Issues

The run your car on water craze seems to be getting bigger by the minute. Included within this category are the do-it-yourself hybrid car kits and "water power your car" guides you see everywhere lately.

Ever since the last gas hike, a record number of companies online are trying to offer their own version of these kits and manuals, all of which supposedly make it simple for average people to turn their cars into water burning hybrids burning water + gas and improving fuel efficiency.

But how many of these water hybrid systems are really legit? You read their glowing testimonials and they all guarantee you that their hho systems work, yet you also read comments elsewhere online, like "all hho kits are scams and they don't work". So what gives?

The answer to this question is: Most run your car on water systems do work to produce hho fuel from water but not all of these hydrogen fuel kits are complete and by this I mean they don't address the following important (but often hidden) issues:

1: The O2 Sensors Issue

When you install one of these hho gas saving devices into your vehicle you are essentially burning a fuel called hho (hydrogen + oxygen) in addition to gasoline. These days, modern vehicles come with built-in oxygen sensors whose job it is to detect any extra O2 in the gas mixture and add more fuel according to correct the balance. Good hydrogen car kits solve this problem for you. The ones that don't are technically working to produce hho fuel from water but unfortunately not saving you any gas.

2: The Bubbler / Flashback Arrestor Requirement

HHO kits made of hydrogen fuel cells are completely safe when they are constructed right. This means the mandatory inclusion of a simple but necessary safety feature called a bubbler or flashback arrestor. A bubbler filters the hho gas, stops toxic material from entering your engine and protects against any backfires. Run your car on water kits that produce hho fuel from water and don't include a proper bubbler are putting their customers at risk of injury or damage to themselves and their cars, due to the unit exploding. Sort of necessary to know, don't you agree?

3: The Use Of Baking Soda As An Electrolyte

Most "run car on water" type hydrogen fuel kits tell you to mix baking soda into the water you use in your hydrogen generator to make the water more conductive. Although baking soda does work, it is not the best option because it is a consumable substance not a catalyst. This means it needs to be re-added regularly in just the right amount which can be hard to do when you don't really know exactly how much has been used. More importantly, using baking soda produces carbon monoxide which is odorless and can be deadly. Good hho hydrogen car kits provide you with a variety of other electrolyte solutions that are completely safe because they don't produce a dangerous gas as a byproduct of use.

4: Missing Vital Information About The Proper Preparation Of The Stainless Steel Plates Used To Build The HHO Unit

A typical dual fuel hho generator uses a series of stainless steel plates in the hydrogen electrolyzer to produce hho. It puzzles me greatly when the creators of some of these "how to run your car on water" manuals don't inform you that these plates work a lot better if you rub them down with 36 grit sandpaper first. Also, you must put on rubber gloves when handling the plates so you don't contaminate them with grease from your fingers and lessen hho production. Additionally it helps to soak the plates in denatured alcohol just in case they do get contaminated. The above information is vital for properly constructing a power cell generator that works at full capacity and unfortunately many hho systems fail to tell you this. The good ones do.

Are you beginning to understand why so many water car systems don't work exactly the way they promise (due to incompleteness) and how important it is to choose the right kit when turning your automobile into a water powered hybrid.

Good and even great hydrogen conversion kits do exist, but you would never know which is which by looking at their sales pages or their prices. If you want to run your car on water and get it right the first time make sure you get informed before hand because it's actually pretty easy to do when you know how to avoid the pitfalls and pick the right system.
