When I first began writing HHO articles on Hupages.com, I wrote on HHO because of my personal experience with Hydrogen Generators. Believe me, I have heard all the tech guys who claim this process of extracting hydrogen from water and burning it as a fuel in automobiles was either a scam or it was not an affordable process. My own personal experience on this matter proves to me, they are wrong.

I am not writing this specific article to discuss whether or not this hydrogen on demand technology works, this article will focus on how certain Hubs are purposely misquoting the truth about HHO Hydrogen simply for the purpose of making money. The favorite quote of these misleading people is “Run Your Car on Water” this statement is totally misleading because it is meant to give the reader the impression that you can run your car totally on water, without the use of petroleum based fuel.

The statement, “Run Your Car on Water,” is nothing more than a play on the emotions of people. This statement forms a picture in the subconscious mind of a water hose being shoved in the gas tank and “putt putt” of you go……..

I just read two new Hubs today that are written by a new Hubber, he even makes statements about using water in the tank instead of petroleum! He then goes on to push water4gas, so he clearly understands that the statement about putting water in your gas tank is a bunch of bull meant to mislead.

First thing is, the hydrogen generator and all the accessories that go along with an hho generator, is not a $10.00 water hose, it’s more like $400.00 to $3,000.00, depending on what vehicle you install the unit on. I’ll tell you all again right now; those cheap water4gas units that are made out of glass jars are one of the most dangerous devices ever placed under the hood of a car. You doubt me? Ask any good Mechanic, one that isn’t selling those “glass jar hydrogen bombs.”

I’ve had those who make and push these water4gas glass designs tell me that I know these jars are perfectly safe! First of all, no sir, I don’t know that! Second thing sir, what happens if you’re in an accident and the jar cracks? What happens in an accident if the jar cracks and the engine is still running? It will be pumping hydrogen gas into the enclosed hood compartment, and when it ignites you got yourself a huge bomb. Then they will say that this hydrogen is not as explosive as petroleum. O.K., that’s great, but it still burns! And if it burns under the hood of a car, what then?

A second fact about cars running on water is this; no car runs on water! Now, there is a test car that runs on 100% hydrogen, but this car is not producing its’ own hydrogen from water. This car is not running on water, its’ running on hydrogen which has been produced by a $10,000.00 commercial hydrogen generator. There is no possible way for one of these hho generators for cars could possibly produce enough hydrogen to supply enough fuel to run a car on nothing but hydrogen.

In fact, if you attempted to run a modern combustion engine on nothing but hydrogen, you would blow up your engine. The reason being, petroleum fuel is also a lubricant for the internal parts of the engine. If you totally remove the petroleum lubricant, the engine will soon heat up and then blow up.

I have also learned that several of these Hubs are offering free plans for building hydrogen generators. I found that many of them were just a scam that will lead you to their website where there are no free plans at all, instead, you will either find the real hho plans for sale, or, you find hho plans that are so technically hard to understand, no one could ever use them. So it leaves the visitor with the option of buying one of their pre assembled hydrogen generators.

I have gotten some response when dealing with this problem. One Hub was forced to actually make real plans available. I would suggest that everyone report these Hubs that are doing this, as misleading and deceptive content.

Please feel free to comment on this Hub. I know I haven’t covered everything, so please add your two cents and maybe we can get something done about this problem.

I have added a list of quotes from Auto Engineers; hopefully they can help you understand that there are professional people who do support this technology. I understand that some of you have your own engineers and opinions, well, so do I.

So who is right about this hho technology? We both are. How can that be? As long as this technology works for you, and you are convinced it works, your opinion that it works, simply put, is your valid opinion.

For those who have the opinion that this technology does not work, your opinion has either been formed by what someone else has told you, or perhaps your personal experience with hho. If you are of the opinion that hho generators do not work, then that is your opinion, and to you, your opinion is right. And so it is, to you. But your opinion does not carry any more weight than the opinion of those who say this technology does work.

I personally know for a fact that this hho does work. I did no other modifications to my vehicle other than install my hho hydrogen generator. So I know for a fact that my on going savings is not do to any other modifications done to my vehicles engine, my savings, week after week, tank after tank of gas, is due entirely to the addition of hydrogen to my fuel.

*Don't attempt to install a hho generator at home unless you know what you're doing, or have someone who is qualified, do it for you.

For those who argue that automotive engineers do not support the use of hho, you need to look at the real facts instead of trying to push a view you can not support. Following are extracts of statements made by The Society of Automotive Engineers. After reading these statements, ask yourself why it is we have people running around saying that engineers do not believe hho works!

All of the following are summaries of reports made by The Society of Automotive Engineers, Troy, MI.

The Internet is just filled with information, you never know what you'll find. Well, it has come to my attention that a pour misguided soul has twisted something I said on this Hub and he is trying to discredit my knowledge of HHO. Honestly, I am not sure what peoples problems are today, maybe it is a lack of common sense, or maybe their brains have been burned out from too many drugs, or it could be both.

The issue that arose was from my comment about the dangers of the water4gas mason jar design. I said that if the jar was to crack in an accident it could allow hydrogen to be released into the hood compartment and cause an explosion. My would be attacker somehow read something else into this. His comment was that I am ignorant concerning hho because if the jar busted the water would be lossed and no hydrogen would be produced.

I have to agree with this pour soul on that, but that is not what I said, I said if the jar were to crack gas would leak from the crack in the glass. I did not say if the jar busted. The person who alerted me to this said this other person is selling hho generators and loves the mason jar water4gas design.

So I conclude this little rebuttal with this, the water4gas mason jar design paved the way for where we are today but I have never liked the water4gas design and never will.

As you have all now read the comment from scottman, I thought my readers would be interested in a very detailed scientific study conducted on the lubrication properties of gasoline. This study was done as a comparison between diesel fuel and gasoline. The study clearly points out that though gasoline is not as great a lubricant as diesel, it does however lubricate the the engine and any engine part it has contact with. Go here; Gasoline

There is a valuable lesson to be learned from the comment given by scottman. You are not considered a professional if you do not continue to study. Most professionals are required to do a certain amount of continuing study or face losing their license. No one can possibly know it all, so we must continually study the work of other professionals in our field. If you do not do so, you may end up looking like a fool.
