Is there a scientific basis to Hydrogen Enhanced Combustion or HEC?
Why every HEC system in the market doesn't work?
Which system DOES actually work?

Hydrogen Fuel is real?

Yes it is real. Cars like BMW Hydrogen 7, Mercedes-Benz F cell, and Honda FCX Clarity run on hydrogen and you can buy one if you can afford one (and you should, because they're very eco-friendly). Hydrogen is already used to run buses in Iceland and to power entire cities in Japan and Denmark. However, they are still not popular due to a few limitations.

Limitations of of hydrogen cars

They cost nearly $100,000
It costs over $10,000 to professionally convert gasoline cars to hydrogen
Hydrogen fuel stations are limited to certain parts of the country (California, Florida etc.)
Hydrogen is produced by electrolysis of water. The power for electrolysis is generated by solar power. Setting up of these solar panels is a massive investment

New technology to convert gasoline/diesel cars for next to nothing
Extensive research had been carried out to overcome above limitations, and a very economical and practical method has been developed to convert gasoline/diesel cars to hydrogen. It is known as HEC or Hydrogen Enhanced Combustion.

Features of Hydrogen Enhanced Combustion

Can convert existing gasoline/diesel cars, vans, SUVs, trucks to hydrogen
No fancy equipment needed
Hydrogen is generated on-board the car, therefore no need for Hydrogen fuel stations
Hydrogen is produced by electrolysis of water, not with solar power, but using the current from the car’s own battery
However the battery current is not strong enough to produce sufficient hydrogen to power the car 100%. Therefore about 60% of the power comes from gasoline/diesel while the other 40% comes from hydrogen. This is how you get 40% gas savings
Conversion can be done at home with low cost materials (<$60) Little or no technical knowledge is required to assemble the conversion kit Patented technology

The technology has been patented over 50 times by the United States Patents and Trademarks office, published in scientific literature, presented at scientific seminars, and been a hot topic on TV news (FOX, NBC).

Japan recently unveiled a car running 100% on water, but this technology is still decades away from becoming available to the general public.

The best three converstion kits
With the rising gas prices, the demand for these 'conversion kits' have grown tremendously and a flurry of products and DIY guides have been released to the market from 2006 onwards. Their prices range from $29 to $7000. However, not all of them were equally effective, thus we reviewed multiple products and the three most effective products are discussed below.

Based on:

* Practical ease and time taken for setup
* Atleast 35% fuel savings
* Cost of setup (under $60)
* Customer service
* Environmental benefits

Top recommendation

Run your car on water
Our top pick is Run your car on water because we feel the system is more complete; material used are more tolerant and durable; and the technology can be used in both older (carbureted) and newer cars (fuel-injected).

The guidelines and illustrations are also precise, concise, clearly explained and easy to follow. Also, the mechanical knowledge required for assembling the system is minimal. The device works with regular tap water unlike many others that strictly require distilled water. Typically increases gas mileage by as much as 45% (that's $1000 savings annually, at current gas prices) with a dramatic reduction of emmissions.

Here are the main components of the system;

* Hydrogen/Oxygen generator - the electrolyzer that breaks down water
* Hytronics module - the electronic circuit that controls the electronic signal necessary for electrolysis (simple unit that can be build using parts from Radioshack)
* In-dash indicator - to monitor all aspects of the water-hybrid system
* Flame arrestor - protects against combustion flashback in to the electrolyser
* Water tank - the simplest part of the system

The Hytronics module is the main reason why Run your car on water stands out above the rest.

Water4gas
This excellent product, water4gas was rated second only to Run your car on water, mainly because it is slightly more expensive and they don't talk about anything similar to the Hytronics module of Run your car on water. You get a lot more other details with this product, but not all of it is necessary to build an electrolyser. Some of the information is on building 100% water cars that need no gasoline at all. However we don't recommend you spend time on that (unless for research purposes). Nevertheless, water4gas comes with excellent customer support and free updates for life. It is also available in multiple languages for world wide usage.
One of the main unique features of water4gas is that water4gas shows you how to build multiple cells/electrolysers which can be combined to produce more hydrogen. This means, more fuel savings. Sometimes you don't get a significant additional increase of fuel effieciency with the use of more than one electrolyser. It depends on the individual situation. It also talks about tweaking your system Further using MAP sensors and Oxygen sensors.

Hydrorunner system is the third pick
This system is undoubtadly the best product, but we've ranked it third purely based on it's price tag of $3500 for gasoline engines and $7000 for diesel engines.

Experiments done by them had revealed

* 84% increase of gas mileage
* 10% increase of horse power
* 8% increase in torque
* 90% reduction of green house gases (CO2) * Extended engine life

The speciality of this system vs other systems like water4gas and Run your car on water is that, it has a built in computer which optimizes the rate of hydrogen release into the air intake manifold.This is the probable reason that their reported MPG boost of 84% is higher than what you typically get with water4gas or Run your car on water which is 35-50%. Hydrorunner comes with a rather expensive price tag at $3500 for a gasoline engine or $7000 for a diesel engine.You can order the system by visiting their website at hydrorunner.com/index.php.

The average American car is driven 15,000 miles every year. That's $2400 gas at $4/gallon and a potential $1000 savings with Hydrogen Enhanced Combustion. Have two cars? Drive more? you do the math. Gas prices are only getting worse and you have no excuse not to save $1000s while going green!

Water as Fuel? Is there a scientific basis?

2008-06-09T08:57:00.000-07:00

Water as a fuel is nothing unheard of. There are two main ways by which water power is being used all over the world. One is hydropower, where naturally moving water (e.g. water falls) is used to turn turbines which generate electricity. Sri Lanka is one nation that is completely powered by hydropower. The second form of water derived energy is the one that is hot right now. That is tapping right into the chemical energy of the components of water. It's a simple principle, water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen and you simply breakdown the same water to generate hydrogen and oxygen. This hydrogen can be used either to power cars entirely or to suppliment gasoline power. The latter is what actually happens in the case of water fuel cars.

However, any ordinary electrolyzer cannot generate Brown's gas (the combination of diatomic oxygen, diatomic hydrogen and other high energy molecular variations) required for fuelling cars. Special 'common ducted' electrolysers are necessary for this. I found this article on Brown's gas and some other high tech stuff like oxyhydrogen, MagneGas and a couple of very cool videos on the potential of water fuel. You can check it out on http://brownsgas.wordpress.com/

The Scorpion - the first commercial water fuel car to be launched in fall of 2008

The following paragraph was taken from Statesman.com

"A unit on the back of the car splits water molecules and mixes the hydrogen with gasoline in a combination of 40 percent hydrogen and 60 percent gasoline, Maxwell said. And although the car still needs gasoline, the hydrogen consumes the carbon waste, which reduces emissions. A 1½-gallon tank of water on the back of the car powers the vehicle, along with gasoline, for 5,000 miles, Maxwell said. (The image of the Scorpion was taken from Crave)

Just to put that paragraph in even simpler terms, it's someting like this. First, electrolysis breaks up water into hydrogen and oxygen. Secondly, this hydrogen will be inducted through the air intake manifold and blends with gasoline at a ratio of 40% hydrogen : 60% gasoline. The Scorpion doesn't store hydrogen, instead it uses water fuel to produce the required amount of hydrogen as and when necessary. This is why the water for fuel system is called a 'Hydrogen on Demand' technology.

You can read a lot more about the water for fuel technology, it's history, founders, the indepth science, how you can save upto 60% of your gas bill etc. etc. at http://www.savegassaveearth.com/ This site also talks about some research done by the US Air Force, the US Navy and some comments by NASA on this technology
