Principle of the Hydrogen-Oxygen Generator in Short
Normally, only hydrogen generators are spoken of, but you have to notice that when it is a matter of making a "hydrogen generator" for an auto, the electrolysis that is used to disintegrate water, generates also oxygen and is not separated from the hydrogen. Why? Because separating the two gases would mean unnecessary complication for the device, and it is useful to burn the oxygen in the cylinders together with the hydrogen. That way, for its part, the oxygen helps the fuel to burn better than by burning only the hydrogen that needs oxygen for its burning anyway. The engine gets practically all of the oxygen it needs by sucking air, but the pure oxygen mixed with hydrogen gives a special boost for burning. In addition, the electrolysing of water generates transformed water (HHO) and water vapor that also help the burning. The phenomenon electrolysis needs an electrolyte to occur, which implies a chemical solution that leads an electric current.
The generated hydrogen takes a double volume when compared with the oxygen, when both are created in an electrolysis of the water. That is because every water molecule (H2O) has two hydrogen atoms (H2) and only one oxygen atom (O). You can notice which electrode generates hydrogen, because much more bubbles are rising from there. That is the negative electrode, which is connected to the "ground" or body in most cars. This electrode collects the positive hydrogen ions of the disintegrated water. The positive electrode collects the negative oxygen ions, and you can notice much less gas bubbles rising from that electrode. Both gases are released into the same small chamber where they mix together and are sucked into the cylinders via a tube.
