The chemical name of HHO gas is oxyhydrogen. In testing and actual use, HHO gas increases overall fuel efficiency. It does not mean that the car will run only on HHO gas, but rather it is powered by a hybrid fuel of HHO gas and petroleum based fuel. This hybrid HHO gas fuel produces more than adequate energy for running the car. In fact, HHO is known to improve the power and efficiency of a car or truck by 30 to 60 percent.
Chemically, HHO is a blend of hydrogen and oxygen, in the atomic ratio of two to one. This is in the same ratio as that of water.
Combustion is a process where a substance burns to make heat energy and it is brought about when it's heated to its autocombustion temperature. This temperature is defined to be the coolest temperature at which a substance will ignite spontaneously in a normal atmosphere, without the use of an external source such as a spark or flame.
For HHO gas, the autoignition temperature is 1065 F and the lowest level of energy required for its ignition with an external source is 20 Micro joules. Once ignited, HHO gas changes into water vapors and releases energy, which automatically energizes the reaction.
A common of HHO gas is in torches for the processing of refractory materials. Many forms of HHO gas lamps are available, such as limelights which are used in the heating of lime. HHO does have an explosive nature and for this reason limelight lamps have largely been replaced by electric lighting.
A most recent application of HHO gas is in hydrogen powered cars. Several HHO gas conversion manuals are available on the internet which offer complete, detailed instructions on how you can build your own HHO conversion kit and install it into your car or truck. In context of cars, HHO gas is also referred to as Browns gas.
Water is usually stored under the hood of the car and it is ignited by the spark from the battery of the car. This starts the electrolysis of water, which results in it's conversion into HHO gas, or Browns gas. The engine vacuum sucks this gas into the intake manifold, once it has been introduced into the airflow. It is this HHO gas, which when mixed with gasoline provides much better gas mileage and engine performance.
Assembling your own HHO gas conversion kit is very easy and does not require any extensive knowledge of automotive engineering or the chemistry involved behind HHO gas or its production. Simply get yourself an HHO conversion manual, and with a few simple tools and 2-4 hours you can completely convert your vehicle to run on HHO gas.
