1-29-10 - HHO can work rebuttal

Ok this thread has gotten so fractured by all the name calling and other crap that is has become easy to miss something. And the 500 character limit is hard to make clear points. So I wrote this blog entry to try and catch up.
ES2008: NASA showed flame speed improvement with the 231 g/hr too. They also showed an improvement in TE as well. You even posted a quote stating they got a 10 percent fuel enrichment using 231 g/hr. How else do you explain this increase if not for an increase in FS and TE.
In the Popular Mechanics article the guy says he tested all kinds of units that gave up to 1 LPM this is even less than what Silverado says is average.
A1mint is a funny dude…
HHOinfo: In many document places H2 added to gasoline allows for leaner burns and higher compression ratios. It’s just a matter of adding enough H2.
Sliverados1500: The geneset tests were made to show different aspects of HHO.
Here are the reasons that are given to prove HHO cannot work.
1) HHO takes more energy to make than it gives back to the system.
Smack tests he posted a 6 % gain in run time using HHO AND the load required to make it.
Rebuttal: the test is not valid because it was a portable generator and they are not comparable to automobile engines.
But from an energy stand point the energy used to make the HHO was made by the engine and it the engine still ran longer with the same EGT.
2) HHO is an ant fart compared to the BTU energy available in gasoline.
Scarecrow ran his generator on HHO alone on 3 times less BTU per hour compared to the rated gasoline usage.
Rebuttal: the test is not valid because it was a portable generator and they are not comparable to automobile engines.
But from a BTU stand point this test shows that the other factors of increased flame speed and lean burn range are more relevant to engine production than BTU values. An example of this in methanol, it has energy value is only 19.7 MJ/kg but it is used as a racing fuel because it can give more power to the engine through higher compression ratios. Measuring engine output in BTU is wrong and misleading.
3) Just because some in the HHO community believe that gains are possible but they have not seen them yet does not mean it cannot work.
To All: The bottom line here is that all of your arguments against HHO are not proof that it cannot possibly work and that it will never work. These are just your theories and opinions. Again, I have seen it work, I’ve done the math and see that it is possible. I believe those positive dyno tests results are correct.
