HHO Water Gas

If all hold out on this one, things are going to be sweet! Bye Bye accursed fossil fuels...not quite Cold Fusion, but a very new unique way at extracting hydrogen from water via electrolysis...at least, apparently, a viable way of doing it. See for yourself. =o)





Powertrain technology: US firm seeks patents for ‘Hybrid Hydrogen Oxygen System’
25th May 2006


US developer Hydrogen Technology Applications, Inc. says its Aquygen Gas, used for welding and other industrial applications, can also be generated on board cars and used as a primary fuel source or fuel additive for gasoline, diesel and aircraft turbine engines.

The Hybrid Hydrogen Oxygen System ("HHOS") can generate sufficient Aquygen Gas using ‘wasted’ energy from a car's alternator to separate the hydrogen and oxygen in water through electrolysis to enrich a vehicle's traditional fuel supply (gasoline or diesel) to provide a net power increase. In the firm’s prototype vehicle, it has been estimated that the heavy-duty alternator deployed requires about 4hp of the stock engine's base power load. It has been estimated that the increased energy release of the combustion process using the Aquygen Gas enrichment resulted in a net 17hp gain.

The company says its HHOS system can be installed with ‘very little’ modification to a standard piston engine, and that water and oil operating temperatures are not affected.

The HHOS has so far been tested in two different vehicles (a 1994 Ford Escort, and a 1998 Ford Ranger pickup) and fuel economy increases have ranged from 22.9% to 100% depending upon the amount of electrical energy available for the production of Aquygen Gas. The Escort has reportedly been driven 100 miles on just eight ounces of water.

The HHOS could be retrofitted to existing gasoline and diesel vehicles, and Hydrogen Technology Applications claims the economic payback on fleet vehicles could be less than six months.

According to a press report at kxan.com, the only problem is said to be that the oxygen produced along with hydrogen by the system gets so hot it could possibly burn the cylinders in a car.

The HHOS is in patent-pending stage with 39 claims pending.

Just Enjoying The Weekend And "10 Things I Hate About Commandments."



- Just sit'n here on the couch, mid-day feeling like a bumn, and it feels great! Actually I'm getting ready to get up and go outside for a bit...Just a bit, since it's like 100 outside. I need to get up, just so I don't feel like too much of a slug - LOL! Exercising later will make me feel less guilty though, about being so lazy. ;o)

A Few Changes With A New Look.

I still haven't found the time to post some pics or any little plurbs about my trip, but soon. I'm still playing catch-up on a few things around here, you know how it is, when you leave on any vacation, you come back to a pile of poo! ;o)

Who Done It?!?!

Music...Music...Music.

I've been listening to a lot of new songs and my taste in music is all over the place...But I've really been getting into some of music by Gnarls Barkley. Some of his songs are real catchy and they have a great mix of styles to them, all of which I seem to like. Two good songs right off the bat that I should mention are Crazy and Smiley Faces (the one playing right now.) They also have released some great promo pics, as you can see...They must have a great sense of humor as a band. LOL great shots!




Gnarls Barkley - Smiley Faces <----Oh yeah, not hosted on my site. ;o)
