Tallahassee, Florida resident Ron Tyler is getting 60 MPG in his 1989 Mazda pickup truck by using a run your car on water cell. Without the HHO generator, Tyler is getting 45 mpg with the diesel truck.

Like so many others who discover run your car on water technology, Tyler build his generator by hand using plans off the Internet (such as the one’s advertised here) and parts from the local hardware store.

Unlike many others who have taken to building their own HHO generators and then selling to locals or over the Internet, Tyler has no plans to make a million dollars selling these devices. He says he’s too old for that.

But if you do a scan of Craiglist or eBay you’ll see hundreds of people who are building their own HHO generators and selling them online. But, don’t take my word for it. Take it from a man who has nothing to sell, only something to tell, Ron Tyler.

He doesn’t want to make a buck only tell the world how he’s improve dramatically the mileage on his 1989 pickup truck.

The President of the National Hydrogen Association, Jeffrey A. Serfass, is talking about hydrogen injection (run your car on water systems) as viable technology for the trucking industry. The NHA has been a long-time proponent of hydrogen fuel in all kinds of vehicles.

According to Mr. Serfass, “After-market hydrogen injection systems, which can be installed on virtually any of today’s heavy diesel trucks, draw a small amount of electricity from the truck engine’s alternator to split water held in a small container, producing hydrogen and oxygen gases. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are both injected along with the diesel fuel into the engine.”

Does this sound remotely like the same technology being used in cars? It should since this is the same technology only on a bit smaller scale for the automobile marketplace. What I would like to see now is Mr. Serfass talk about hydrogen injection technology in a broad range of vehicles and not just the trucking industry.

But, apparently, this is a political hot potato right now. There is not nearly the public outcry for diesel trucks to improve fuel mileage as there is for automobiles. Trucks have slipped relatively under the radar, which is why this run your car on water technology can be view as “truckers only” technology for the time being.

So, let’s be clear about this. HHO technology is not useful only for truckers. It is useful for drivers of all vehicles with an internal combustion engine. The critics and naysayers are few and far between when people talk about HHO technology for trucks. Start talking about cars, however, and the HHO critics start coming out of the woodwork and stumble over one another to voice their incorrect opinions.

Two men in Alabama, James Wilson and Harry Snoddy have independently verified that water for gas technology works. James Wilson is getting 30-percent increased fuel mileage and expects to squeeze out another 10-percent with his new EFIE and Harry Snoddy is getting 10-percent better mileage with his 1999 Dodge Ram V8.

From the looks of Wilson’s water for gas generator he has used one of the popular online sets of water fuel plans to build his generator. The same is true for Snoddy who is using two units for his truck.

Of course as with most journalistic articles, if you have a point, in theory you have to have a counterpoint, so the reporter brings in a cautionary person of the American Automobile Association and a naysayer auto mechanic to balance out the article.

Of course neither the AAA rep or auto mechanic have actually tried a water for gas generator. They are offering their opinions on something neither has actually tried. But, congrats to Wilson (of course!) and Snoddy for not only trying and building a water gas generator, but for making them work as well.

A Hastings, Michigan Mechanic named Les Pollyea says HHO is a go for his customers that want to save on gas and save the environment at the same time. Besides installing the HHO generator on customer vehicles, Mr. Pollyea has also installed the device on his 1997 Suburban as well and has increased mileage from 13 mpg to 19 mpg.

Of course the reporter for News Channel 3 had to ask the question on whether the run your car on water generator will void the warranty or not. Mr. Pollyea says the device will not void the warranty but he should have gone further in quoting the Magnusen-Moss Warranty Act that says the dealer must prove that the aftermarket device was at fault before they can void a warranty.

This means that the bearer of proof is the dealership. If the run your car on water hydrogen generator is built well and installed properly it will not void any warranty. The reporter also went on to quote our old half-arsed critic Mike Allen of Popular Mechanics and his biased test to prove his own preconceived notions about HHO generators.

Be that as it may, it is the customers who are important in this story (and all stories). Pollyea has installed the run your car on water device on 10 vehicles from customers with no complaints and only praise. If an HHO device costing between $400 and $900 didn’t work, does anyone think there really would be no complaints? If I spent that kind of money and it didn’t work on my car, I would be the first in line to get my money back.

So, the saga continues of HHO generators making news and the critics getting equal airtime despite their weak and whiny reasons of how these viable gas savers simply escape their grasp of how they can possibly work.

Four Ohio inventors have put their heads together and come up with a hydrogen booster that they say increases gas mileage by as much as 50-percent in the vehicles they have tried. Bob Davenport, Richard Eastman, Frank Naypaver and Bob Jolaski have all been working on a run your car on water design and think its ready for real world testing.

The four inventors will install the hydrogen booster in one of the Altiere county vehicles and one of the commissioner’s personal vehicles. If the tests are successful, then they will expect to install the run your car on water booster on other county vehicles as well.

Three of the four men are retired from General Motors and Davenport is the president of the Ohio Hydrogen Innovation Organization. The four men are also looking for a government grant (good luck with that) so that they can improve the hydrogen booster and install it on more vehicles.

It’s the garage inventors of the world, like these four gentlemen who are ushering in the next energy revolution, and making a little money for themselves along the way.

A couple of Hickory, North Carolina inventors Rick Detter and Mark Kiser have come up with an HHO generator that they are selling through local mechanics garages. The pair claim that the device that they are calling the HHO Gasbuster will save 10 to 30-percent in fuel mileage.

What makes their claims credible is threefold. First, they claim only modest fuel mileage savings of around 10 percent in the city and up to 30-percent on the highways. Second, the HHO generator is being sold as a kit that includes an onboard computer enhancer to lean the gas / air mixture and a relay system that will turn the device on only when the engine is running.

With many other similar devices one buys over the Internet or elsewhere these parts are all sold separately even though you will need them all for your vehicle to run optimally. The third piece of credible evidence about this device is the use of high grade stainless steel interior parts, which won’t degrade as quickly as those devices using cheaper parts.

Although the reader comments are the typical suggestions that this has to be a scam and of course, my favorite, that it must violate the laws of thermodynamics, from the evidence presented this looks to be the real deal. Since these HHO generators will be marketed through local garages there is sure to be immediate feedback as to the viability of this product coming out of Hickory.

A man named Roy Patton, who is the Director of Solid Waste for Harvey County, Kansas is saving taxpayers money by installing a run your car on water generator in one of the county’s trucks. The HHO generator is installed in a 2005 Dodge pickup truck and has increased city mileage from 13.3 mpg to 18.6 mpg.

At first, Patton bought a run your car on water eBook such as those advertised on this site. But, when he calculated the time it would take to build a hydrogen generator from scratch, on the clock, the decided to buy an online kit.

Patton also got lucky with his run your car on water unit as he didn’t have to adjust the MAP, MAF or O2 sensors as is common with most post-1996 vehicles. Right out of the box the HHO generator started saving money and he estimates that with 13 gasoline refills the run your car on water device will have paid for itself.

The gas mileage savings is also impressive when the Dodge truck is hauling a load of waste products. For instance with a full load, Patton estimates the truck usually gets between 6 and 8 mpg, but with the hydrogen gas saver the number goes up to 13 mpg.

Patton installed the unit in June along with a quart of water and is still waiting for the H2O to get low enough to need a refill.

Hydrogen Hybrid Technologies and the Canadian Hydrogen Energy Company (CHEC) have completed field testing of their HFI (hydrogen fuel injection) system specifically for cars and light trucks. HFI technology has long been used in the trucking industry to reduce diesel emissions and improve fuel mileage.

Hydrogen Hybrid Technologies is using the patented CHEC HFI technology to reduce tailpipe emissions on cars, light trucks, SUVs and minivans. Emissions such as CO, PM, HC, CO2 and NOx will be significantly reduced with this new technology.

The naysayers to this technology will be happy to learn that HFI technology is the world leader in HHO generators for long-haul transport trucks, municipal buses, ambulances and other heavy equipment. Hydrogen and oxygen are created onboard by splitting water efficiently with patented HFI electrolyzers and injecting the oxyhydrogen gas into the vehicle’s intake system.

Currently, there are over 140 certified HFI installation centers across the U. S., Canada and internationally. Expect this number to grow with the addition of HFI technology into the automobile and light truck marketplace.

Last week I talked about how the U. S. Department of Transportation has given the thumbs up to run your car on water technology. If that wasn’t enough of a smoking gun to put the critics, skeptics and other naysayers to rest, this week I’ve uncovered another government document that also validates the merits of the hydrogen gas saver.

The U. S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) put out a document in 1977 validating run your car on water technology. The document titled, “EMISSIONS AND TOTAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF A MULTICYLINDER PISTON ENGINE RUNNING ON GASOLINE AND A HYDROGEN-GASOLINE MIXTURE” authored by John F. Cassidy, shows how adding small amounts of hydrogen to a gasoline-powered internal combustion engine will help the engine run leaner (meaning less fuel used and more MPG’s) and reduce emissions.

In regard to using less fuel the NASA document states, “Adding small amounts of hydrogen to gasoline produced efficient lean operation by increasing the apparent flame speed and reducing ignition lag.”

In regard to lowering emissions the same document states, “Exhaust emissions levels followed the classical trends with changing equivalence ratio. Oxides-of-nitrogen emission levels at the minimum-energy-consumption equivalence ratios were appreciably lower for hydrogen-gasoline than for gasoline.”

So, this isn’t exactly new technology. NASA has know about it and written about it for at least 30 years now. Even though the public is slow to catch on, the information is out there. You just have to know where to look and to try the run your car on water technology for yourself to verify that it works.

The United States Department of Transportation (DOT) has given the thumbs up to hydrogen injection technology. In an 81-page document released in November 2007, the DOT talks about how hydrogen injection (HHO gas generators) are being used in the diesel trucking industry.

But, as we already know, this technology has also been surging in smaller vehicles as well like cars, pickup trucks and SUVs. The DOT gives ultra conservative numbers when talking about gas mileage savings and emissions reduction based upon one test of a diesel powered vehicle. The DOT has some catching up to do with their facts in this area.

The document is long and I’m sure only a few interested geeks like me will read it end to end, but it does mention hydrogen injection in many passages along with fuel cell vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles that run on compressed hydrogen gas and liquid hydrogen.

The document is geared towards the safe handling of hydrogen both inside and outside of the vehicles. It mentions hydrogen injection (or hydrogen on demand) technology as one of the safest methods for using H2 since no compressed hydrogen gas is stored onboard, only water.

Water is electrolyzed on demand to create small amounts of hydrogen and oxygen, which are then ported into the vehicle’s intake system. When the vehicle is turned off, no hydrogen is being generated.

This document may just be the “smoking gun” that run your car on water advocates have been looking for in order to sway the critics and skeptics that HHO technology is indeed viable. The question is not “if” it works, but “how well”.
