I know not of the HHO system intended for automotive applications as is
being discussed here, , but I do know of similar systems that are used
to produce H2 gas and O2 gas for welding gold, silver, and platinum
without producing oxides of same.
In this case, a potassium salt is added to distilled water to make an
electrolyte. A 110v AC transformer/inverter produces a 12 amp current
through the electrolyte and hydrogen gas and oxygen gas is released.
There is a separator that collects the Hydrogen and the Oxygen
separately. An electronic brain controls the amperage and therefore the
gas generation rate, so one can control both flow and pressure. For
jewelry purposes, the oxygen and the hydrogen is recombined at the
torch tip and can produce a carbon free flame as hot as 3200 F.- easily
hot enough to melt platinum.
The point here is that there are hydrogen generation systems already in
operation in industry, and there is really no reason these cannot be
adapted to automotive vehicles NOW to produce supplemental fuel to
enhance vehicle mileage. This would be an interim measure until full
hydrogen systems are on line for full time use. The fuel savings on oil
based fuels would be enormous, and move us in the right direction of
getting of oil all together as a fuel.
About oil, even though we might eventually get off oil entirely as fuel,
we will be continuing to use large quantities of the stuff for other
things, simply because there is no other material with which to produce
them. As long as there is oil in the ground, we will continue to use it.
