Hydrogen Generator on Large Truck

Gee, Idk, I see the cost is about $4500-$5,000, that buys a lot of fuel, but depending where this all goes, probably be the business to be in. They CLAIM 10-35% savings, but it's been my experience, YOUR savings will probably be the "10%" range, the "35%", under unattainable ideal conditions. Probably warehouses full of crazy inventions, that may or may not work. Time to blow the dust off them, and try again.

 

Those #### things are ALWAYS scams. I have seen these kits around since i was a kid, and their always some variation of the latest and greatest thing. If they existed and worked every motor vehicle maker would use them to help beat ever more idiotic epa standards and being able to claim their vehicles were the absolite best.



Heres a perfect example of one of the most popular kits. Only a fool thinks these exist god forbid actully work. You would be better served to take the thousands and tuneing up your vehicle, changeing to a more efficent tire or a hundred other things. Sadly a lot of people are either gulible or desperate or both and buy these until someone comes along and shuts them down before they reopen under a new name.

 

Pretty much anything spouts "HHO" is garbage. What's coming out of these is diatomic hydrogen and oxygen gas in a 2 to 1 ratio.

They all like to quote a study that showed significant increases in fuel economy. They neglect to point out that the cars were substantially modified to allow very lean combustion of the gasoline when the hydrogen was present. It allowed the throttle to be opened further to reduce intake vacuum. That's not doing anything for a diesel with no throttle butterflies!

And they talk of improving efficiency by adding the hydrogen. Problem is, combustion efficiency is already high on modern engines, it's the thermal inefficiencies inherent to internal combustion engines that needs improved.

It's just like any good snake oil, there's just enough truth to fool most into believing the hype.

 

Not that I like him but Kevin Rutherford did a long term test on dedicated route with a 10 k plus unit .. end result 3 batteries 3 or 4 boosts and he lost .2 mpg . He also had extra downtime while they reprogrammed his unit to improve it .. PS these guys push units hard in spring for a reason. All trucks improve.75 to 1.5 mpg on summer fuel and warmer weather with no add ons ..
