A lot of people have emailed us asking to buy an HHO Kit, ready to install. Aron and I have been really busy with other projects and are still experimenting with different designs ourselves, so at this time we don’t offer a kit. We are really running this site mostly to get the information out there for everyone. Still, there are quite a few hho car kits on the market right now, and there are lots of reasons a do it yourselfer might look them over for ideas or even buy one.
First, you might not feel up to the task of hunting down parts, assembling them and then testing them only to find out you went down the wrong track and it didn’t work. You might just want to leave that to crazy tinkerers like us! We have gotten some really good results, but we have a graveyard of partially successful or unsuccessful hho generator units. That’s what we like to do with our spare time, but you might be more into watching the football game or whichever.
Second, not only are there hho conversion kits for sale out there, but oxygen sensor kits, hho generator plans, hookup kits, bubbler and housing kits, stainless steel parts, and more. You might be having trouble finding all of your parts and be able to locate them amongst the rest of the items for sale. There are a lot of attached video to watch and links to other sites from the sales pages.
The third reason to check out what’s for sale is to see what has (apparently) been working for others and get the old creative juices flowing. I like to look through the various offerings and see what everyone has been up to. I find that certain items look useful and like they might work, while others have some issues. I won’t recommend kits since I haven’t tried many myself, but take a close look before you buy one and see if the design makes sense. Here are a few things to look for that make a big difference:
Seller reputation - are these the new kids on the block or seasoned hho veterans?
Buyer feedback - any way of telling what buyers thought after they installed it?
Size and shape - can it fit in your car? Get out a tape measure and make sure!
Materials - is it built out of something durable, or just a tupperware container and some duct tape?
Hookup materials - if you are buying an hho kit, it should come with mounting hardware and electrical connection supplies
So there you have it. Even if you’re not looking to buy, it is worthwhile having a look at hho hydrogen car kits. Maybe you will find the answer to some little technical problem that is bothering you, like how everyone else hooks up their hho unit. Maybe you will find those premade stainless steel plates you were having trouble locating, or that oxygen sensor and computer kit for hho. And if you are like me, you will leave the Online HHO Hydrogen Store wanting to try five new ideas and itching to get back at experimentation!
We have been experimenting with a lot of different designs for hydrogen generators. One of our goals was to make a more efficient unit that uses less power and therefore builds less waste heat.
One of these hho car kits is attached to this Pontiac Sunfire. My son has been running this car to and from school and work. He has been putting on about 600 kilometers per month. As well, I have been taking it for long drives at night. One thing I found is that different driving styles make a real difference. My son “drives it like he stole it” and this sure puts fuel mileage in the backseat. Even with higher revvs on the engine and faster starts and stops, he consistently got more than 25% gains from running our generator.
We used no electrolytes or baking soda in this unit. Straight tap water only. There were no sensor modifications made to this car. The unit is in front of the radiator and behind the grill, and measures 3.5″ by 18″ long. It draws between 2.5 and 4 amps depending on run time and amount of water conditioning.
This video is of a long drive on a winding road with hills and valleys. Average speed is above the speed limit all the way. As you can see in the video, when I figure out how much gasoline I use I fill the tank to an excessive amount to avoid skewing the results.
There have been a few comments by hopeful do it yourselfers who want to store up HHO gas in an old propane tank, etc. This is normally not done for a variety of reasons, and some of the biggest concerns are safety. Here is one comment we received:
The only way that I thought of possibly pressurizing the HHO would be to have the entire system pressurized. So that when the HHO bubbles are made it automatically pressurizes the tank. Then when its at the pressure you desire turn the valve to off and bleed the cell to unpressurize it to add more water or do maintenance. The highest pressure you could probably achieve is about 35-40 PSI without spending a ridiculous amount of money on expensive equipment. The tanks they are using for Hydrogen prototype cars have a cap at about 10,000 PSI But those tanks alone are about $5,000. The main problem here is pressurizing the HHO cell and lines without leaks or explosion.
From what ive seen online people seem to be yielding about 2liters per minute off their HHO cell and receive about 25% increase in efficiency. Wouldn’t you then be able to run your vehicle completly off of 5 HHO cells running simultaneously?
Ok, so here’s a few things to consider. Hydrogen weakens normal metals and materials. This leads to cracks and leaks. A lot of research was done by accredited labs, etc on hydrogen storage years ago. My understanding of the matter is that high pressure hydrogen will find a leak if even the smallest pinhole is present, and escape to atmosphere. Or, escape to the trunk and interior of your car! Also, the average home built unit will have trouble holding much pressure and the gas will start causing small leaks in your system.
Also, HHO is an explosive mixture of hydrogen and oxygen which no sane person would try to store in a jury rigged homemade container in their vehicle. It’s flat out dangerous. Most gases that are stored need oxygen to mix with them to make them burn, ie. propane. The mixing is already done with HHO kits, and this is why sometimes you can have a flashback to your production unit. If you have a little flashback and ruin your generator, that is one thing. How about packing a bomb around in your trunk? Those storage tanks mentioned are for pure hydrogen, which none of us are making with our simple generators.
The best bet in my opinion is to produce the HHO gas and burn it right away as needed in your engine. Never have your hydrogen generator running with the ignition off. Use a flashback arrestor on any high production unit. And always experiment in a well ventilated area when testing your new unit. You don’t want to take any chances.
If you must store hydrogen, you need to have ALL STAINLESS STEEL fittings. You need to use a stainless steel tank. Better yet, an expensive but safe metal hydride tank which will store the hydrogen gas in a solid form. Remember, a regular pressure pump might not have high quality stainless steel insides or corrosion resistant parts unless it is specifically built to handle acid or hydrogen. This goes for most valves, regulators or other parts you might think would work in a pressurized system.
