Does HHO make free O2 go up or down on a spark-ignition engines?

Hi all,Marius' measurements on his oxygen sensor got me thinking.  I am not sure what kind of sensor he has. There are several different types. I think the zirconium oxide is most common. Marius saw…Continue

temperature of HHO flame

It is stated in various sources that the HHO flame temperature is130 degrees C in open air but a source is never cited. I wonder if this value was not obtained by using an infrared thermometer to measure the flame temperature.  An infrared thermometer operates on the assumption that the heat source is a black body,  that is, the spectral signature of the emission is described by Planck's law. However, this is not true of any flame. The emission signature of a flame typically has peaks at 0.185…See More

Two part report done at our company on HHO.   This is part of a larger plan to develop an HHO performance standard.   One of the obstacles for HHO technology is the lack of an accepted performance standard.   This makes it harder for companies, fleet operators, government and municpal agencies etc to buy HHO systems because to make a purchase, they have to open a contract for competitive bidding so they prepare a request for quote (RFQ) or request for proposal (RFP).  Without a performance…See More

Does HHO work on Ford IDI Powerstroke diesel?

This video 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkFx1LqZwCQ&feature=related     on youtube states in the description:

[HHO] works great on every kind of car, truck, SUV, van, etc. The only one truck we have seen it not work on is the Ford Diesel PowerStroke model - why? Because that particular design uses a ""pre-combustion chamber"" to begin burning the fuel BEFORE it enters the main…

really good third party HHO evaluation

An Australian company called Empire Hydrogen Energy Systems which makes HHO systems for vehicles had an Edmonton, Alberta environmental consultant do a "independent third party" evaluation of their technology. They produced a very nice report that can be found at:

EPA study

 

According to this web page http://holysmoke.org/hho/the-facts.html , "the EPA tested two dozen HHO units and they were all found to be ineffective". Googling a few variations of EPA HHO evaluation and searching the EPA website turned up nothing. Was these ever such an evaluation done?  I should think DOE would be more likely to sponsor such an evaluation rather than the EPA.

 

This article also says that if HHO were…

Hello Mr. Ware

Thank you for posting your findings. It was concise and sensible and begins to fill a void of useful data.

I did some simple dyno tests using a chassis dyno and a Chevy 4.3 that showed a very nice gain in the

more useful lower RPMs. Wish that data was as comprehensive as yours but it does reveal what we all know is real. HHO is very useful.

Here is a paper I did:

www.hho-research.org/wp12.pdf

 

I have yet to receive a single comment about it.  The equation section I would like to simplify and make it a little more persuasive. I am really interseted in the idea of optimizing poerfoirmance of HHO systems, but it is hard to do that systematiclly without a quantitative understanding of how HHO affects the thermodynaomics of the heat cycle. I am actually working on a prototype at this time that would address this issue.
