A Hydrogen On Demand System is a case in point of the system being greater than the constituent parts, to wit, the booster, the vaporizer, the fuel heater, all individually important with the Hydrogen Generator being the essential keystone of the system. In the next few paragraphs I am going to discuss what is to me the most important elements of a hydrogen on demand system. It is my aim to show you a simplified system, one that you can build yourself if you wish and one that will bring you some relief in your average miles per gallon of gas as well as your financial hardships every time you fill-up at the gasoline pumps.. I am sure that you have many questions about Hydrogen Boosters and its constituent parts that must go with it so please read on.
There are several different types of Hydrogen Generators available on the web. Usually the differences in type deal more with shapes and sizes of the canisters and their catalysts but more on that later.. They will all have the same elements within them and that is, some type of water, whether tap water or distilled water and some type of catalyst to speed up the electrical reaction to break the bonds of the liquid into hydrogen and oxygen. We are talking here about an Electrolysis of a water-based fluid to utilize the byproducts to get better miles per gallon of gasoline. .That is the basis behind all of the different types of Hydrogen Generators. The shapes of the outer body holding this liquid might be as simple as a quart fruit jar to a sleek 4.5 inch steel tube or PVC pipe. The catalyst might be common ordinary soda bicarbonate or the more caustic soda known as lye or potash. Whatever is used the catalyst bubbles away and the reaction of splitting apart of the liquid into hydrogen and oxygen takes place. The byproduct, hydrogen and oxygen are transferred into the nearest high volume vacuum line and thus into the car's combustion chamber. The desired result is a cleaner more efficient burning of the gasoline and much less smog from the exhaust pipe not to mention being kind to the environment.
The next part of the system which will be essential to keep any gains that you have received from your Hydrogen Booster should include at least an EFIE. What many companies that sell you a Hydrogen Generator or Booster don't normally tell you is that the generator is only the first step to a system, one that definitely requires you to fiddle around with the car's oxygen sensors. The reason for that is that the closest sensor to the catalytic converter reports live data on the air/fuel ratio to the car's power train control module. For this last, read the car's on board computer as the same as the power train control module. And the computer is not our friend when it comes to trying to gain more mpg than the usual factory established points. Any gains that you will achieve from the first day or so of a working Hydrogen Generator will be swiftly removed once the oxygen sensor reports the cleaner air in the exhaust area. The computer will add a more rich air/fuel ratio to compensate and you will loose all the gains.
Is all lost? Nope. Read on.
The EFIE pronounced E-fy for ( Electronic Fuel Injection Enhancement) is a simple device that allows you to alter the return signal of your oxygen sensor so that the signal can be received by the car's computer and used to change the air to fuel ratio beyond the normal factory established set points. Normally these set points are in a range from the leanest (14.7 to 1) to the richest, ( 7 to 1) When leaning you will be instructed by the EFIE installation information to use only slight increments of the signal to see how your car/truck handles the leaner air to fuel ratio. This is not the only time when you should err on the side of caution when working with these products. Please remember that all of these electronic devices are experimental to a certain degree.
The single and dual EFIE's that are hard case finished and use dials and ports for the probes of the millivoltmeters are easier to tune and establish your set points below 14.7 to 1. Tuning should be done with small incremental moves of the dials. The results show up quickly on the millivoltmeter and then the scan gage. One of the EFIE's that I have seen and liked featured two dials, both reading from the one oxygen sensor closest to the inlet of the catalytic converter but one dial labeled, In-Town and the other Highway. The way points had been established for each of the types of driving conditions. Neat huh? There is a lot that you can do with the EFIE and many persons just use the EFIE along with their Hydrogen Generator.
The bottom line here is that you can choose to add more miles per gallon by investing a little sweat and time and of course cash in alternative fuels. The important thing for me is that I am not just sitting and allowing the outrageous prices of gasoline to leave my car at home and walk. By extending my miles per gallon beyond the pitiful mpg of our American gas hogs I am not allowing events that I cannot change to overwhelm me. I feel that each small increment in mpg means I am reclaiming some of my hard earned cash from the rapacious Oil Companies.
