Stuck under the hood of a gleaming black Dodge Truck 5.7 Hemi Engine is a cylindrical-tank with wing nuts on the lid— one red, indicating a positive charge, and the other black, for the negative, sit side by side. Wires run from the wing nuts to the battery and down into the engine.
The tank contains water and a small amount of baking soda. The negative wires connect to the battery and the positive to the ignition. When the car is turned on, the water mixture begins electrolyzing and dividing it into the hydrogen and oxygen atoms into a gas called HHO.
HHO is a combustible and powerful gas, but it’s not explosive and will ignite with the spark from your engine. The liquid in the cylinder begins to bubble and that gas is then sucked into the engines intake manifold, while the car is being used.
“Gasoline is not what combusts to make your engine work,” says Cornelio. “The fumes in the gasoline are what combusts. And since cars are designed to suck in this vapor anyway, the hydrogen gas goes straight into the cars intake and it combusts to make the engine work.”
It works because it’s slowing the fuel’s compression rate and giving it less air-to-fuel mixture. This is, in turn, making the gas perform like higher-octane gas.
“There is 100% fuel gas and active vapors in the vehicle,” adds Cornelio. “You have 50% of vapors and 50% of hydrogen gas, so you save half the fuel. You use more hydrogen and less gas, and it still gives you the same power.”
Results differ amongst vehicles. Therefore, pinpointing an exact amount of fuel savings is not possible. But the conversion kit increases fuel efficiency by 40 to 60 percent, say Cornelio and Morales.
“Cells can continue being added in a vehicle, until they reach 12,” Morales says. “I have 2 cells and it calculates to about 100 miles more to the tank on my Chevy Avalanche with a 5.3 L. On an average that vehicle will give me 13 miles to the gallon, but I’ve increased it 5, 6, even 7 miles more to the gallon with the additional kits. This is a huge deal for me because I can still use my vehicle and not be concerned with the amount of money I’m spending on gas.”
The device boasts of no safety hazards. Everyone knows pure hydrogen is dangerous; pure hydrogen in high-pressure tanks is even more dangerous. But the system doesn’t generate
