Help For Hydrogen: 2002 Ford F-150, V-8

02/23/2009 10:24 AM

I have been dabling with a hygrogen generator for my 2002 Ford F-150, V-8, automatic transmission. I installed a hydrogen cell on my pick-up. The cell runs on about 7 amps and using prescribed concentration of water and KOH. The cell produces a nice volumn of HHO, about 1 liter per minute. I have properly installed the MAP enhancer and the contollers for the oxygen sensors for the additional oxygen created by the cell. I have installed a ScanGuage for over a year to monitor engine parameters and fuel mileage. I took my first test ride the mileage was up 25% over my baseline. The second test ride the mileage was up 20% over my baseline. The third test ride the fuel mileage did not improve. Can anyone tell me what is going on with the ECU and how the problem can be corrected? Help for Hydrogen?

What you are experiencing is akin to the "placebo effect", at first you wanted the idea to work so you changed your driving conditions to give you better fuel mileage. You became complacent on further testing (perhaps accelerated a little harder) and drove more "normally" so that you aren't seeing any benefits.

These hydrogen gimics are a scam and do not provide any benefit.

....... a second possibility is that you more properly tuned/replaced defective sensors and received better mileage from that alone and DID NOT / WILL NOT see any benefit from the hydrogen generator.

It's well known that the HHO process works better when exposed to green light centered on 570 nanometers. About 75 green LEDs in this range can do wonders! It should double triple quadruple your HHO mileage!

Also you must only use magnetically-aligned water! Regular water molecules are too disorganized to give consistent results during the electrolysis phase. Truing to use ordinary so-called "gas booster"magnets won't do the trick. And watch out for water that's been "permanently magnetically treated". There's NO SUCH THING. You have to buy special equipment and make your own water every three to four weeks to guarantee freshness.

And you're just wasting your time and money if you're not using special HHO-ready tubing. The microscopic wall geometry of regular tubing creates static electrical charges and micro-turbulence as the gas flows through it. This can rob the HHO of a shocking 98% of its potency!

Fortunately my company can provide you ALL of the above. We have a package deal where all three items can be had for one low, low price. Plus for a short time shipping and handling is FREE! Just ask for our Gullible Fool Special.

Great response! Love it. Puts the whole ridiculous "HHO" scam into perspective.

what about gold plating on the ends of the wires? won't that help?

You'd think so, wouldn't you? But alas the answer is no. The resistance loss in gold is well known and again will lead to a HHO unit seeming to contribute nothing to mileage performance.

However it just so happens that my company also offers a line of low-resistance connection solutions. Utilizing the well-documented effect (we have the data available on special request for a reasonable printing fee) of super-cooling when HHO is passed through a series of proprietary special-shaped precision orifices, we can offer near- superconductive cables - even in the hot temperatures under a hood!

Does that super cooling result from your proprietary application of the joules- Thompson effect? And if so, how did you get the initial high pressure? or is that trade secret?

Inquiring minds WANT TO KNOW!

I can't go into much detail due to pending legal action.

However I can say that as the HHO atoms pass through the orifices, they forever altered in such a way that the heat is pulled from them and into tremendous heat sinks mounted in the trunk of the vehicle.

The heat is then used to create steam to generate electricity. The water for steam is collected by the electrically-driven chilled condenser. However a portion of the steam is diverted to making delicious warm beverages and instant soups for the passengers.

Did I mention that we're also a food service company?

You can stick your "low-resistance connection solutions" up your "special-shaped precision orifices" - what you need is carbon nanotubes.

"Vapsterinventor", <hmmm> that looks very much like "Vapster inventor". You wouldn't be Gerald Roley would it? "Inventor" of the Vapster fuel vaporising system.

In any case, see the numerous, numerous previous threads and posts over the years on CR4 regarding the subject of the use of water and internal combustion engines (the partial successes and the countless failures and scams).

Oh dear. I bet he wishes he had never started this thread. Still, it's given us some fun during these rather worrying times.

Does it bother anyone besides me that the google ads posted next to these postings are for HHO kits?=============================================>>>>>>

Unfortunately, you have to block Google Adwords at the individual URL level. As quickly as we ferret out an HHO scam site, two more pop up to take its place.

Thanks for pointing this one out, though. We'll block the URL and bounce them from the rotation.

and thanks for letting this thread continue Chris for the laughs (instead of locking it from the onset)

What you really need to make this work at optimum performance is platinum/rhodium electrodes. Otherwise, your wasting your time. And your in luck, as I have an extra set, I'll let go cheap. Yes, I know 20 large may seem expensive, but they will pay for themselves with in the first 6 months, I promise. You see, they will produce HHHO, at about 80%, and HHHHO, (the real kicker), at about 19%! The extra 1% is the gold that will collect at the bottom of your mason jar. So, with my proven method, you can drive yourself to incredible wealth!

I will humbly admit, I was duped by this fad (not too awfully long ago).

A friend of mine convinced me to build a bunch of test HHO generators. It's really fun stuff (as long as its not going into a automobile), Filling balloons, bags, and just about anything that will hold air, causing very nice explosions. It's also fun to build a water powered (really electrically powered) cutting torch(again, more fun than useful).

When we had built some "high output" units, he began installing them into various vehicles. The first test vehicle was a suburban... I went on a test ride with him, everything seemed to run fine. (I've never put one into my personal vehicles, and now never will). At first, soon after the first experiment was finished road testing, my "buddy" reported some amazing numbers to me, (this friend of mine has always been semi-technical, and mostly trustworthy). I believed him.

This is where I failed... I did not do the experiment myself, and took his "findings" to the bank. For a period of about 2-3 months he had me convinced, and because i had a good deal of trust with him (and very little spare time myself) i failed to second check his experiment. To this day, I'm not sure how it happened, maybe there were other fuel additives at work, maybe the "baseline readings" were skewed, maybe the "findings" were flat out fraudulent. I do know that my "friend" seemed genuinely convinced that what he was telling me was "fact". I don't know what it was, but the wool was definitely over my own eyes.

He is a very convincing guy, when "selling" his "technology". He actually had many people duped by his "great findings". He was able to convince UPS, Snap-On, and a few other companies buy into the scam.(myself included). I suppose I really wanted to believe it could work, despite science/fact. The real "sales pitch" was the small lawnmower engine he had in his shop, which was fitted with a large unit. He was able to run the engine (barely, at idol) apparently with no gasoline. This is a convincing site to see.

In the end, I don't regret playing with the technology, it is quite a fun hobby/"waste of time". What i do regret, is not following through with performing the drive testing myself, and believing what i saw, and what was reported to me as a "finding".

I was more into the unit design, and electronics, and was too reluctant to put one in my own vehicle, (phew, that was close). All in all, I have learned the hard way that HHO is a scam, I will Admit it, I was a fool, and even promoted HHO for a brief period, boy do i feel stupid now.

My apologies for promoting such a scam on CR4 in the past.
