now, i say all of this, not to prove i know what i'm doing, but rather to just try to make a simplistic point just like i tried to sarcastically do in my original post. i agree with 'hdenter' for the most part and his post. "shouldn't knock something till ya try it" |

We are not getting more energy out than we are putting in. We are imply converting the electricity produced by the alt. to another form, HHO and using that stored energy to burn the gasoline more efficiently. This is not perpetual motion, it is simply energy conversion. If YOU picked up a chem book you would see that. |

As to the "chemistry" aspect of it. If you want to prove yourself lets see some calculations. It shouldn't be that hard to figure out how much Hydrogen you can produce, how much work is needed to produce it and how much energy is gained by adding Hydrogen to the fuel mixture. If you can answer those three questions, it should be easy to tell if a HHO generator works. |

1. I dont know the exact formula, but the amount of HHO produced is exactly proportional to the wattage introduced. Ill look up this formula later... 2. Once again, wattage=HHO 3. Some people report at 30-80% increase in fuel economy. This reminds me of when my brother learned that when you plug in a DC motor backwards it goes the other way... (He was only 6) After learning this fact, he theorized that anything plugged in backwards, or manual work applied to it would run in reverse, or produce what went into it, respectively. It was at this time that, when we went up north for the summer, I found him pushing his ATV in an attempt to create gasoline. I nicely told him (by running him over =P) that gasoline engines, hell, MOST engines dont work in reverse (that being produce gasoline). But back to now... What we are evidently doing IS producing gasoline-type-substance (HHO) via a mean that can be... um... brainfart... Well. We are turning water into fuel. Oh, via a mena that can be replicated in any mechanical process. (Windmill, hamsters, dam, etc....) You see, electricity has a tendency to dissipate after a while, thats why repeaters are necessary, etc, so a viable way to store that energy would be a gas, HHO, that can be either recombusted into electricity or mechanical motion. Allright, ill shut up now, I have no calculations but hey let these people (and me) work in peace. And on that note, PEACE! -Tyeo |

[QUOTE=opelgt73;102465]I also have an Engineering background and thoroughly understand physics and thermodynamics and I would love for someone to describe to me how converting mechanical energy from the crank, to electricity at the alternator, to Hydrogen via HHO generator, back to the combustion chamber is not going to lose a tremendous amount of energy in the process?
1.Partially correct. You run your car on gasoline and create energy to power other parts of your car, as the engine turns the alternator also turns and generates electrical current. Enough electrical current is generated to power all the gadgets in your car if they were all turned on at once. So you use a bit of this surplus current and power your hydrogen generator. This makes HHO and it is sucked into your intake manifold to enhance the burn of the gasoline. You are not getting something for nothing. You have to power the generator to make a fuel enhancement, but you are not running your car on hydrogen.You are not using the hydrogen for energy, it is just to enhance the flamefront in the combustion cycle. It is perpetual motion in the sense that you think that your engine which is producing Hydrogen and burning the Hydrogen it is producing will ever be a net surplus of energy. Perhaps when we overcome entropy we can dispute this but right now you are absolutely correct. Oddly enough people are getting results to gasoline / diesel engines with HHO generators so regardless of how much science we know there is always more to learn. . QUOTE] |
Its NOT perpetual motion becuase you are usiing surplus energy from the Alt to convert the hydrogen from water...
These laws of physics that everyone seems to love to go by, do they include the use of electrolytes? We know that with the help of them, HHO gens create more HHO.... Funny, according to the laws of physics bees should not fly...nor should helicopters... |

The assumption that an alternator has surplus energy is questionable.
The alternator varies it's load (and power requirement) based on the state of charge of the battery. If the alternator was continuously creating more amperage than necessary the battery would be overcharged and would soon fail. In my car the engine slows down as you turn on the turn signals, or any other additional electrical load, until the load sensor increases the idle speed to compensate. Think of it as tank of water and a small hydro-electric turbine. If you run the small turbine and empty the tank, it takes power to refill the tank. In an auto electrical system its the same principle, you don't get the HHO for free. "Run your car on water" Not really truth in advertizing, especially to those that understand the above fact. Assuming the HHO enhances the burning of wasted fuel. Thats the HHO proponents best argument. The problem with that is there is not that much wasted fuel, or the unburned hydrocarbons in the exhaust would be astronomical. Put you car on a dyno and see how much more power you use to create HHO. Then create HHO without using the car as the generator while its on the dyno. Do this by using a different battery not the battery in the car. The net gain in power (if there is one) will be the increase in efficiency. No net gain in power or even a loss is a decrease in efficiency. It's that easy to prove whether it is more or less efficient. Theory is one thing absolute proof is another altogether. regards gary |
