Pontiac Sunfire HHO Generator Roadtest # 10
HHO Generator Demo August 6th, 2008
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 units 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.

I’m well verse in electronic and microcontroller. So, I was thinking to built a circuit to sense the charging current to the battery, so that the HHO generator only taps off enough current but not too much until the battery is not charged properly. Also, I intent to implement step down switching power supply to power the HHO generator. The output of the supply could be “tied” to the throttle and capped at the maximum limit minus the charging. That way, the hydrogen to fuel ratio is always maintained, and the HHO generator can be switch off when there’s not enough charging.
I have been hearing more and more about these kits. I am told you just have to fill the reservoir once a week and add a few teaspoons of Baking Soda. Can this be right? How soon will the government make this illegal. It sounds too good to be true. I want to convert all of my cars TODAY. How do I do it?
I installed one cell on my 08 GMC Sierra and let it run this past weekend. For power I am using my 12 DC outlet in the cab of the truck. I simply ran wires into the engine to power the cell. Then I ran a hose from the cell to the air box where I drilled a hole between the air filter and the mass air flow sensor. My truck actually got 1.8 MGP WORSE. I drove through about 20 gals of gasoline and got about 13 mpg. When I unhooked the cell, I got about 15 mpg on my next tank of gas. What am I doing wrong?

Hello. I have just one question. I’ve build my own hho generator. I used stainless steel wire. And works quite well. But the problem is that the endings of the electrode which are going to the electric system are damn hot.It will melt the pcv cap. How do, I reduce the temp on the wires ? What is wrong with that thing?
