Burn Water

Burn Water


While surfing on the internet just type in hydrogen, burn water, HHO, Brown’s Gas or probably a number of similar queries and you will be led to numerous sites telling you how you too can increase fuel mileage and lower your fuel costs by buying a manual describing how to build your own HHO converter or some other device that does the same thing.

Electrolyzing water into its component parts yields two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen.  Separated, these two gases are not particularly dangerous, but combined they are very explosive and in more than a small volume HHO is very dangerous.

No car manufacturer in the world is currently using or has ever used this technology and I’ve always felt for good reason, but apparently some have realized the tremendous benefits of burning water instead of gasoline in a motor vehicle.  Arnold Huffenpuffer was one such person.

Arnold was so thrilled with the performance of his Water to Fuel Converter he just had to E-Mail the company.

Subject: Unbelievable Savings


Fantastic is the only way I can describe how well my Water to Fuel Converter works.  Your instruction manual was so easy to follow, anyone could build and install your invention.  And the savings, WOW.  My old ’71 F-150 mileage has gone up from 17 miles per gallon of gasoline to 1750 miles per gallon of water.  With gasoline at $4.00 a gallon I’m now saving over $94.00 a month.

I must admit I was a little skeptical when I read the claims you were making on your web page.
“Turn water into safe, clean HHO gas and dramatically increase your car’s fuel mileage,” was a little unbelievable to tell you the truth, but then I saw President Carter’s image on the U-Tube promotion.  I tried to load it.  I have dial-up so after 15 minutes I only got about a minute of it before the connection shut down so I never got to see President Carter, but I figured if one of our Ex-presidents is on your site it must be true.

I built my Water to Fuel Converter exactly the way the manual said.  My wife has some Mason jars she never uses so I didn’t have to buy one.  I got the rest of the stuff down at the hardware store.  Then I told my buddy Marvin about it; Marvin lives right next door.  Marvin’s one of those science type guys, always figuring something out.  He said, “Sounds like you threw away $69.95.”  Marvin’s like that, you know, skeptical, even way more than me.

I said, “We’ll see.  Anyway, I wanted to ask if you’d give me a hand putting it on my old truck?”

Marvin said, “Well, if I’m going to have anything to do with this, we’re going to do it right.”

I asked, “How are we going to do that?”

Marvin said, “First we set up a way to perform tests to verify the results.”

I asked, “How are we going to do that?”

Marvin said, “Just bring your truck over to my place and I’ll show you.”
I did.

In Marvin’s garage, he disconnected the gas tank fuel line and plugged it.  Then he fastened a roto-tiller fuel tank under the hood.  He said it held exactly one gallon.  I was beginning to see where he was going with this.

First we took the truck to the interstate.  Marvin added some gas to the roto-tiller tank, filling it completely.  We drove up the interstate.  I held it right on 60.  Marvin did the timing and measuring.  We ran out of gas in 16 minutes, 20 seconds, and had gone 16.8 miles.  Marvin refilled the tank and we went back down the interstate.  17 minutes, 50 seconds.  17.2 miles.  Marvin figured it out, an average of exactly 17 miles per gallon.  Marvin was satisfied, so we went back to his place.

In Marvin’s garage we installed my Water to Fuel Converter.  Marvin kept going, “This thing will never work.”

I said, “We’ll see.”

We went back to the interstate and did Marvin’s test again.  24.8 miles per gallon.  You should have seen the look on Marvin’s face.  Of course I rubbed it in as much as I could.  It’s not often Marvin’s wrong.

We took the F-150 back to my place.  Ole Marvin was looking really excited.  Marvin hardly ever looked excited about anything.  He checked the amount of water still in the Mason jar and wrote that down.  He said, “I’ve got to go home and do some calculating.  I’ll see you in the morning.”  He left.

Marvin was back at 8:00 the next morning.  He looked like he had been up all night.

I asked Marvin, “Well, what did you figure out?”

He started explaining.  Now I’m not one of those scientific guys so I had him write all this down.  So, this is what he said,  “A gallon of gasoline contains a thermal energy of about 125,000 btu, or 36.6 kilowatt hours.  That means that at 17 miles per gallon your old truck uses 36.6 kilowatt hours of energy to go 17 miles.  At 24.8 miles it would use 53.4 kilowatt hours.  It is apparent that by using a Water to Fuel Converter, at a distance of 24.8 miles the F-150 used 36.6 kilo-watt hours of gasoline and 16.8 kilo-watt hours of HHO gas.”  He went on to say, “Now since the Water to Fuel Converter uses electricity from the battery at the rate of 36 watts and it took 25 minutes to drive 24.8 miles that means the input power used by the converter was 15 watt hours.  Therefore, (I always like hearing Marvin saying ‘Therefore,’ like some college professor) 15 watt hours of input electrical energy produces 16,800 watt hours of HHO gas.  That of course means that the principles of conservation of energy and thermodynamics are total fabrications.  It is also apparent from the small amount of water used that the thermal energy in hydrogen is thousands of times greater than it is said to be.  From my measurements you should be able to drive around 8400 miles on a quart of water.  I suspect a conspiracy perpetrated by the government, car makers and big oil.”

Marvin’s like that.  He’s always suspecting conspiracies.  I think it’s probably just somebody’s mistake.  Anyway, I didn’t understand anything he said, all I know is, I got another 7.8 miles per gallon.  I said, “Well, whatever you said, I’m satisfied with the results.”

Marvin said, “I’m not.  If one of these things works so well, why not use two?”

Ole Marvin was even more excited than he was last night.  I said, “You mean build another Water to Fuel Converter?  I never even thought of that.  That’s a great idea.”

So we did.  And tested it.  We got 32.5 miles per gallon.  I’ve never seen Marvin like that before, you know grinning from ear to ear, really, really excited.

He said, “Let’s do it again.”

We did, only this time we built two more.  Now, with four Water to Fuel Converters, my old F-150 was getting somewhere around 48.2 miles per gallon, it was a little bit difficult for Marvin to be accurate.  See we had a little problem.  We got up to speed before we turned on the converters.  Once we turned on all these converters that old F-150 took off like a shot.  I had to hold my foot on the brake to keep it down to 60 mph.  Marvin said it just wouldn’t work, putting all that HHO straight into the intake manifold.  Well, Marvin figured out how to fix that by changing a few things and adding some parts he had lying around.  He had to tune it a little.  The first time we tried it, it backfired and blew the hood about 20 feet into the air.  After he figured out what was wrong we hammered the hood back to the shape it was supposed to be, sort of, and wired it back on with some old coat hangers I had.  We also had to fix the brakes, they were pretty much worn out.

With these kinds of results of course we just had to add four more Water to Fuel Converters.  Now with all 8 converters my old truck got 79.4 miles per gallon, at least that’s the best estimate Marvin could come up with.  We were only able to make one run and that was only for 4 minutes.  Five of the Water to Fuel Converters blew up sending the hood flying again.  Marvin said he knew how to fix that little problem.  Too much pressure he said.  Marvin is most often right.  We picked up the hood and all the glass we could find; it wasn’t much.  We went back to Marvin’s.

When we got there, Marvin asked, “Why are we messing around with gasoline at all?”

I said, “It could be because it’s a gasoline engine.”  I don’t think he was asking me though, just kind of talking to himself.  Marvin does that sometimes.

Of course he had to start explaining all this stuff again.  I made him write it down.  This is what he said.  “The 8 converters were making 322 kilo-watt hours of HHO gas each hour.  Your pickup uses 129 kilowatt hours each hour it is running at 60 mph.  So right now we’re making 193 kilowatts more HHO than we need.  There is no reason to burn any gasoline at all.”

I thought I had him on one point.  I said, “Ahh, but you’re forgetting the electricity drawn from the battery to make the HHO.”

Marvin said, “I didn’t forget.  8 times 36 equals 288 watts.  If it makes you feel better we’re only making 192 and three quarter kilowatts more HHO than we use.  OK?”

I thought I’d won a small victory.  I don’t know why he was still looking so smug.

Well anyway, it all worked just the way Marvin said it would.  Now my old F-150 gets 1750 miles per gallon of water.  Marvin added some other kind of contraption that had a pressure relief valve so that the extra HHO could be burned off through two pipes he ran up on each side of the rear of the cab with a spark plug at the top of both pipes.  He put some kind of check-valve at the end of each pipe.  He said they were very important.  He was disappointed when the flames could just barely be seen, but said it should be really cool looking this winter.  He didn’t explain so I don’t know what he was talking about.

I think I might have to disconnect a couple of the converters though.  It seems last week when I took the F-150 out to the country I set a few trees on fire.  I know Marvin will be disappointed but you know burning trees only adds to air pollution.  He’ll understand.  Marvin’s like that.
