When you are bent on economy on fuel, the best way is to build hydrogen car and drive it, which guarantees you less on fuel and more on mileage. Any vehicle running on fuel-injection principle requires simple modifications and attachments to accommodate hydrogen generator to make it a hybrid working for more efficiency. Chiefly, two things are needed –a hydrogen generator, and sensors and enhancers for making adjustments to your vehicle’s computer for optimum efficiency.

Either you can construct the hydrogen generator yourself obtaining electrodes and other paraphernalia from stores, or you can procure them ready-made as conversion kits and get them installed in a workshop. In either case, you should know the techniques involved so you’re not taken unawares what extra is inside your hydrogen car.

Hydrogen generator:

This is a cell similar to a normal cell having electrolyte (acidified water), cathode, anode and cables, but additionally with a hydrogen gas outlet. Working on the car’s battery, it splits and gives out hydrogen which serves as fuel. A hybrid, it functions along with the car’s engine. Weighing 300lbs and with volume 8cft, it’s compact which is easily mounted inside the hood at the front of the car.

Why are enhancements required?

Extra oxygen is produced from various sources-from electrolysis and from hydrogen generator and unburnt hydrocarbon after burning. When you introduce computer-controlled enhancers, precise controls of gases needed for efficient running are easily achieved.

The role of ECU (Electronic control unit) and ECM (Electronic control module):

Their main job is to check the sensors, adjust settings and classify data, apart from deciding on the quantum of fuel needed for the engine and its timing of ignition. The car’s computer would tend to make up for the shortened quantity of unburned hydrocarbons and increased oxygen due to high combustion efficiency when HHO gas is added. It would try to pump in more fuel, thus thwarting the fuel savings. These new units help overcome the handicap.

4 options of enhancers:

You could use the one as preferred.

1. HHO Chip with plug-in type is the easiest enhancer for hydrogen car conversion, ensuring 30%-40% assured mileage increase. This is vehicle-specific.

2. Manifold Absolute Pressure, Mass Air Flow or Electronic Fuel Injection Enhancer sensor enhancers:

It works best singly or in combination with the other, giving the highest mileage gain.

Once you build a hydrogen car, you could join the elitist guild who own such hybrid cars.
