Is anyone using a Hydrogen Generator?
 

Hello Ya'll,

Just curious if anyone else is using a hydrogen generator on their truck. I have been experimenting one of my trucks for a while. I'm amazed (and excited) about the increase in fuel mileage that I'm getting.

The truck is a 2003 Freightliner Columbia, with a 14L detroit. It has always been a pig on fuel. My quarterly IFTA MPG calculations have been between 4.9 and 5.3. The most recent Hydrogen generator that I have installed is by far the best. For 20k miles I have been getting between 6.25 and 6.95.

I'm about to install my second unit soon. This time it will be on a Cummins. I hope to get the same results.

not sure I understand. you have a generator & it is used while driving your truck? I thought generators were what is used so you can turn off truck engine & run a/c heat e.t.c. without burning much fuel.

I'm talking about a HHO Hydrogen generating system that produces hydrogen to burn. It is plummed into the intake. By doing this, it reduces fuel consumption.

If you do a google search, there is tons of info on the technology.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks!

I have read something on this. one sight was several glass jars hooked together. looked something you would see the professor create on Gilligan's island. lol. not sure how long glass jars would last on my bumpy riding truck. A while back.. a year or so a local man was installing some type of hydrogen on 4 wheelers & big trucks. I'm not going to knock it. just scared to try it.

I have seen the mason jar set-ups. They are interesting looking.

It just a small (14" cube) that holds a few gallons of water. You have to wire it directly to the batteries. It pulls 20-25 amps. Using $2.65 a gal for fuel, a increase to 6mpg from 5mpg will save $11k a year based on 125k miles.

I find it hard to believe that a 14'' cube of water with 25 amps passing thru it would produce enough gas to make a differance in MPG or power for a v6 gas engine let alone a big deisal. How much gas does it produce? Without knowing the output of your generator there's now way to do a compareison.
But I do have one question, Why are you only getting 6mpg?

It doesn't increase you a full mpg. They don't produce enough hydrogen to do so.

The turbo3000 does.:lol:

I use a flux capacitor. Mileage went through the roof.

It might be the loads that he hauls, where he hauls them, and how often he stops. I drive multi-stop loads exclusively, I love to run in the mountains, and for us, a 'light' load is anything less than 40,000lbs, and my Century's (both the one with an APU and this piece of junk without one) get between 6.0 and 6.4mpg. Both trucks use 435hp Cat C-15's, Eaton 9-speed top 2 transmissions, and 3.55 rears.

As for the HHO deal, I've heard about it, and heard of folks getting good results, even though I still don't know how it's physically possible.
