Save Money With a DIY Hydrogen Generator Kit

All of us are concerned with the high price of fuel today. In addition, the fuel emissions and carbon footprint of a vehicle is enormous. What if you could get your fuel from a common source and possibly double your gas mileage. For less than it costs to fill your SUV, you can build a DIY hydrogen generator.

Just as the more expensive hybrid technology stores the excess energy available when a vehicle is coasting to a stop, the hydrogen generator also stores that excess energy. Most of today hybrid vehicles use batteries to store the excess energy that is just wasted by conventional automobiles. The hydrogen generator stores the excess energy by converting water into hydrogen and hydrogen oxide.

Hydrogen and hydrogen oxide are both very reactive gasses. They would prefer to burn and be transformed back into water. Therefore, when these gases are mixed with gasoline, they increase the power rating of the fuel. They give your car more power and noxious emissions. As a matter of fact, the only emissions from burning hydrogen or hydrogen oxide is water.

Since there is no carbon in these two fuels, there is no carbon monoxide produced by them. Since your vehicle cannot be powered on these two fuels alone, but must still rely on gasoline, there will be some carbon monoxide produced, but less than if the car was running on gasoline alone.

There are many DIY hydrogen generator kits available on the internet. You can also find and print out your own instructions to build one. Most parts are available at your local hardware store and include such items as wide mouth canning jars, plastic jar lid (read mayonnaise lid), vacuum tubing and other simple parts. All told, you will spend less than sixty-five dollars to build the DIY hydrogen generator.

There are many reasons to build a DIY hydrogen generator for your vehicle. The first is to save money. Fuel prices continue to grow, but imagine cutting those costs in half. Even if gasoline climbs back to the 4 dollar price tag, by using only half the amount in your current vehicle, it would be like paying two dollars per gallon.

In addition a DIY hydrogen generator is good for our environment. Your vehicle will suddenly become more efficient in burning the gasoline it uses with fewer emissions. Think of the clean air we could leave for our grandchildren with this technology.

A third reason to build a DIY hydrogen generator is that engines that burn hydrogen last longer. This means a longer time between replacing vehicles.
