Convert Car to Run on Hydrogen
by Tony Williams
If you are serious on saving money on your fuel bill you should be looking at alternative ways of stretching your car’s fuel efficiency and one of the simplest and cheapest ways to do so is to convert car to run on hydrogen. It is not only easy and inexpensive but also is very environmentally friendly.How to Convert Your Car
Some people are apprehensive about running their cars on hydrogen simply because they are afraid of carrying a combustible gas- far from understanding its safety features. But when you do convert your car, you are not actually carrying any hazardous gas but just water. Yes, many car owners who want to do this aren’t aware that plain water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen which can be separated by a simple process called as electrolysis. In the following paragraph let’s see how you can get your car to run on hydrogen.
All you need to do it at home are
1. A water tank fitted with two electrodes in the shape of plates
2. Wires to connect the electrodes to car battery
3. Flexible tubes (preferably insulated) and nozzles to pass the hydrogen to carburetor
4. A few screws to fasten them all up
By now you must have understood how you can modify your car to run on hydrogen. The principle that runs behind is when you energize the water, it electrolyzes and hydrogen or HHO evolves as bubbles. You need to mix the water with baking soda which acts as a catalyst. The hydrogen gas that evolves is carried through to the carburetor where it mixes up thoroughly with gasoline and air. And what happens there afterwards is the normal combustion process which the car is designed for and this process is completely automatic.
How Much It Costs
If you are oblivious of the cost of conversion and making your car run on hydrogen, it may pleasantly surprise you. You can definitely do it at your own garage for about $100. The entire list of materials you need to make your car run on hydrogen is available from any hardware store if not already available at your home.
The real fun is you don’t need a mechanic to get your car run on hydrogen and you can do it yourself at home. More than the cost of conversion what pleases you is its complete safety and potential to cut down fuel cost by at least half.
Thanks to better combustion properties of hydrogen (HHO, in fact), after you convert you car into a hydrogen based hybrid car, you are not only saving on fuel cost but can also pride on running a greener car which hardly emits flue gases.
