I think that now would be the best time for you to do some R&D on your system.
Cheap gas = cheap expenses to develope your system and be ready for price hikes.
We're all waiting?
C'mon,what you say about that?

 

orng1: What is your MPG with the system, 100mpg maybe 80mpg?
no, I was getting 31-33mpg at peak. I would have to do something wild to get the 100mpg. I think the 100mpg+ is the PICC deal. I've been playing with the concept of the PICC in my shop with small engines, but I really haven't had enough time to do much with it. I would like to have one installed on my truck regardless of the gas prices.

zbigbig19th:
What do you suggest for R&D? I'm all for playing with the system if there is a good direction you looking to go. I don't think there is much room for improvement though. It make a combustable gas, modifies the computer signels, leans out A/F and gives me 150% better MPG. What else can be done? I'm looking more towards the PICC. Maybe make one to fit my generator. The generator (electrical type) runs for 13hrs on 5 gal in stock configuration. If the picc really works, it could run 10 times as long or more. That would be very interesting and I wouldn't be messing with my truck until it was perfected.

 

Update: I've found a huge problem with the HHO kits in general. The POH used in the water solution was getting into the air system and eating the alum in the intake. I guess there is a trade off after all. I personally would avoid the HHO systems all together.

 

I initially found out about the Hydrogen generator and PICC from a company in Eugene, Oregon and wrote to them. I wrote to the Ford Board of Directors who replied to me that their Ford engineers were enthusiastic about the concept and would check it out. The company in Eugene sent me an email thanking me for my support.
I have been busy on another project and have not followed up on their progress. It is easy to generate hydrogen with a beaker, a dry cell battery and two strips of metal such a copper, and two glass tubes. You will get hydrogen from one electrode and oxygen from the other electrode depending upon the polarity of hydrogen and oxygen. Both will burn and the glass tubes provide a margin of safety. wbell5

 

In other words, the engineering groups of auto manufacturers seem to have found the optimal balance of performance, driveability and economy. If your preference is slightly different, a tune is in order, but don't expect a computer program to rewrite the laws of thermodynamics.

 

16 pages of ****house chemists......wow

 

Laws of Thermodynamics! The Obama administration can have those laws change.

 

Funny reserection here,

 

I've got 99.9 mpg with my EX before hear is how you do it. Start at the top of a 5 mile 9% grade reset the mpg indicator and by the time you are at the bottom it will be reading 99.9 mph. and thats with overdrive off and thrown down to second a few times to keep it 60 mph. so you dont melt the roters

 

Okay, so I came across this thread and had to go back and dig up some information on the history of hydrogen powered cars. This site is biased in favor of hydrogen cars. I used to have copies of the patent information of Lenoir's vehicle. My brother came across it while doing research for a class or something like that. Thought you guys might find it interesting. I am making no claims other than I found it fun to read.

Hydrogen Fuel Cars 1807 - 1986

1860

In 1860, Etienne Lenoir of France invented the 1-cylinder, 2-stroke Hippomobile. The Lenoir Hippomobile was so named because it received its fuel by electrolyzing water and running the hydrogen through the small horizontal engine. The Hippomobile engine ran on "natural cycles" with an uptake of fuel mixture and a down stroke combusting the exhausted fuel.
Later, Lenoir adapted the engine for various gases such as coal gas. Around 350-400 of the Lenoir gas motors were built and sold.
1807

In 1807 Francois Isaac de Rivaz of Switzerland designed the first internal combustion engine that ran inside the first automobile. This first experimental prototype was powered by hydrogen gas and oxygen. The Rivaz car stored compressed hydrogen gas in a balloon and it had an electrical Volta cell ignition.

 

Yep, been there done that, did the science, did the project...It doesn't work. Your better off throwing your money into a wood burning stove. . You get a better result.

Wrong thread? This thread is almost 6 years old.

 

Plus it wasn't a very happy thread to revive..

 

No right thread, I apologize, didn't mean to open old wounds. Just looked at the map. Thread could probably be deleted. Do have a question about explorer 6 speed trans. Where should I post it?
