- Are high gas prices a problem? Let’s see if HHO (Oxyhydrogen) increases fuel efficiency by an AMAZING 35%, increases horsepower and torque while removing carbon deposits from inside the engine. I install and then test the HHO generator on both a vehicle and a fuel injected generator for fuel efficiency, performance and removing carbon deposits. I purchased the HHO kit and all of the supplies used in this video.

Dido! To bad!
You are welcome! Glad to hear!
When you said it was worth $200, he was hoping you literally meant that and give him the $200! ;-)
@Charles McKinley apparently hho has a higher expansion rate, it does burn more in the cylinder then just gas.
But you have to reprogram the ECU/chip and do all kinds of stuff that makes it not really worth it..
The engine starts sensing more oxygen and then starts dumping in more fuel because it thinks its running lean, so generally you're not going to get better results without heavy modification..
Also optimal voltage is 2.2v so ideally you want 6 cells separated in the car, you charge at 12 volt but tap off the batteries in parallel so you only get 2.2v to the cell..
@ProjectFarm thank you. I can't afford to put 200 bucks into something that is a gimmick
My friends and I used to make these in college, we had a Civic that we actually got up to 60 mph with. Everything was stock, except for the homemade HHO generator, BUT we did have to tune the ECU. We did learn that it makes a bigger difference with gasoline engines versus diesel engines. But we did get my 2004 diesel excursion up to 24 MPG. I swear by HHO, but you definitely have to tune the ecu to inject less fuel because the air is richer.
Thanks for sharing.
how you tune eco to to inject less fuel
Why didn't you take these supposed findings to a scientific paper. I always see these claims but none of them are ever backed up.
That would make sense.
@@derfvcderfvc8714 because that was over 15 years ago before it became a big thing lol
This reminds me of when I was 16 and bought my first car in the 60's. I bought every gimmick known to man from the JC Whitney catalog. Each installation would boost HP by 15-10%. By all accounts I should have had a 500 HP 283 Chevy, but alas nothing ever changed. I can still hear my dad LHAO. It seems that the products now days are higher tech labelled, but work about as well as I remember. Thanks for doing this, it brought back some great memories. 🤭

I remember those 1000 watt 6 x 9 speakers, oil-foul-resistant spark plugs, and an in-dash AM/FM/TV Cassette player. They also had a lot of big bore kits for VW Beetles and stuff like that.
Oh man. Those were fading out when I was a kid in the 80’s. So, I moved on to the P.A.W. Catalog. Chock full of everything from the latest in Wolverine blue racer cams to the complete, “assemble it yourself” all aluminum BBC. (Boomer bbc, not zoomer bbc)
I remember all the gimmicks in the J. C. Whitney catalog,never Bought them though.

He use a generator for saving gas mileage. That was wrong you need to install in a car that can lean out the gas to save on mileage. You can’t get mpg out of something that don’t move .this tiny little system definitely isn’t big enough to show anything. So yeah he’s right it’s to good to be true because the set up is wrong . Someone figured they know in theory this works put on a different scale so they figurethey could find a handful of Desperate people to buy the product
After watching: shiiieeeeeeet
@@NoBs48 You believe in a flat earth don't you?
@@NoBs48 mileage is a way to measure fuel consumption. The generator runs at a almost constant rpm and if you add the exact same amount of fuel you can get a time that can be used to measure fuel consumption. Just because it didn't measure mileage doesn't mean the test is wrong. It is just a different way to measure fuel consumption.
Made my own hho unit years ago. Did get noticeable improvements in mileage. Difference…I installed a simple potentiometer on the dash wired into my map sensor. I was telling the computer that there was less air flow than was actually present, thereby causing the engine to call for less fuel. I adjusted based on need and could turn it way down on the interstate allowing for incredible fuel savings.
I appreciate your input. Makes sense.
Note that what's happening is that you're lowering the fuel mixture hence lowering the horsepower of the engine and creating better fuel efficiency out of it. Another way to do the same would be to take two cylinders out of combustion or have a smaller engine running. An engine with less horsepower is generally more fuel efficient as you give up on acceleration, while a 5 liter mustang has less MPG for the opposite reason. You actually don't need to install an HHO to achieve similar results.
Problem is AF mixture is set from the mas and the o2, these systems worked on old Beetles because we would manually adjust the carb to lean out the AF, simple procedure HHO off set carb lean till it sputters, turn on HHO to remove sputter, gently rich the mix until it runs smoothly and you get your MPG increase. Yes oil Temps were checked as was timing to prevent detonation issues.
Modern engines see a cleaner burn as leaning out, so the ECU enriches the mix to offset and you get poor MPGs.
These systems work better on Diesel as its a static rate of diesel going in versus a variable rate like modern gas engines.
Good test but it was missing this variable.
one of the best you tubers to date, no bs, straight up content, science, and no money farming from companies. MAD respect
Thanks so much!
@@ProjectFarm i did the double treatment to my motorcycle and as soon as i poured it in it atleast felt like the engine started to run smoother (could be psychological effect). But your tests and stuff could actually check if their claims are even clos to the truth.
hes been working it. Check out his videos from the past.
SCIENCE? Really?
Did PF Test the generator to see if higher Octane Fuels were an advantage? They are only advantageous if the engine is designed, engineered, and properly tuned for High Octane Fuels. So the same theory must apply to the addition of H2 gas. Did PF test to see if doubling the available Oxygen would improve efficiency of the Generator? Well no, because the ECU assumes that only 20% oxygen is available at 68F at Sea Level.
No my friend. Whilst PF's videos are entertaining, they are very very far from being anything that could be considered SCIENTIFIC. Wayyyy too many assumptions being made and implied in all of his 'experiments'. But very entertaining.
Love the videos. No nasty nasty cheap gimmicks or graphics. Just straight honest to the point results with some fun and enjoyment added.
He drilled holes in his air boxes to test this for us, that's dedication!
My thought exactly.
He could have gained more HP just my testing with the hole in the air box. That's a fancy high airflow intake now. Just don't drive on dusty roads.
Duct tape will fix it, he even knows what brand works best
Next video: we're gonna see what epoxy works best for filling holes you drilled into plastic!!
Thanks for watching!
There are some issues you weren't aware of.
The electrolyte works optimally at 165F.
Ideally you want 'ported' vacuum to draw in the brown's gas. Drilled hole in the intake is not ported vacuum. Most cars no longer have ported vacuum. If you have a PVC valve and connect to that, the benefits are reversed (you want more of the gas when you accelerate not less and PVC vacuum is reverse of that).
You want no more than 20 amp load. About 10amp is optimal so as not to place drag on the alternator.
You want a brown's gas output of 1 liter per minute per liter of engine size.
Additionally there are other things to trick the engine into utilizing the brown's gas effectively (deals with the upstream O2 sensor and IAT).
Just slapping one on can improve things a bit up to about 20% increase in MPG without other modifications.
I got double on the wife's car, but for a day. Her 4 cyl ran like a 6 cyl as far as power and acceleration went.
Seems the computer didn't like the car getting that great of MPG and brought the mapping back into what the manufacturer's specs were.
I even installed 3 lights too.
Green meaning it is on and working.
Yellow meant it was low on water.
Red means pull yer arse over and see what the problem is (usually blown fuse or loose wire or something but could be worse). Car would work with any of the lights on.
Had to keep resetting the computer every time I used the system. Finally removed it due to the hassle.
The hydrogen in that will slowly remove built up carbon.
When there is no free carbon available (takes a LONG time) it will pull carbon out of any steel parts (this is called Hydrogen embrittlement).
Those plates are made from stainless steel.
Best plates are made from Platinum.
Plate spacing is roughly 1.1mm for great results.
One hot plate and at least 5 or more neutral plates before the negative plate.
Some use electronics to pulse the DC current to to cell around 44kHz.
The water you must use has to be store bought distilled water.
Other water has contaminants in it that reduce efficiency, eat plates, draw too much current, create too much heat, and create sludge in the system.
Never use salt in a system like that. It creates Hydrogen chloride gas which can be explosive in sunlight.
With the dry cell, you don't have to worry about hitting bumps and drawing the electrolyte into the engine like you do with a wet cell.
Remember, there is no free ride with anything. It takes more energy to break the water molecules than you get out of it.
But the advantage is more efficient combustion and resulting more power and better MPG if you keep your foot out of it.
Just a few tidbits for everyone.
Author - redo the test but drive the car for 1 hour SANELY in warm weather so the system gets to operating temperature. Then test it again.
We saw you run that stop sign! lol
Did u run it on a early 2000’s car or like a newer model year car?
@@ddddmmmm9026 2004 chevy.
If you use non ported vacuum, your benefit is at idle as you have max vac applied.
Once you apply the throttle, vacuum drops and the cell reduces output. That is backwards from what you want to do.
I did try it on an old Jeep 6cyl too.
It had a bad miss in it even though all the parts were working fine.
Hooked up an external cell to the vacuum and direct from the battery.
Within 15 minutes, the miss was gone and the engine ran smooth as glass.
Once I disconnected the cell, within another 15 min it was back to having a miss in it.
I used stainless steel plates and Potassium Hydroxide with distilled water.
Plates were 1MM separated.
It was a container not the wet cell some use.
Plates size was roughly 3" x 5".
Used 7 plates, 5 were neutrals in between the electrode plates.
Edges sealed with Marine silicone.
Amps were between 13 and 20 depending on the temperature.
Any more that that it created drag on your alternator and much of the water would evaporate off without converting due to high heat.
Had to be very careful as the solution became a toxic waste due to chromium released from the stainless steel.
Gloves are highly recommended and so is eye/face protection.
Bad thing about stainless steel is that it is a resistor. Platinum electrodes are the best but who can afford them??
I found I only needed 3-4 volts to effectively run my system, I used a voltage reducer to heat the water around the pvc capsule containing my plates. Had it explode a few times under the hood bc of the faulty voltage reducer getting too hot exposing hydrogen under the hood next to my headers. 😅 I was only 17.... live and learn. You need a stand alone computer and a hell of a programmer friend to get these to work on anything newer than the late 80s.
@@kjruff7786 Actually there are two key components to fiddle with -
The O2 sensor output and the IAT sensor.
You can buy a module to tap into the O2 sensor(s) (I think it is called a PWM) to trick the computer.
For the IAT, simply remove it from the air intake and let it sit under the hot hood.
Deviating too much out of the fuel map will set a code and you lose your benefits.
Not sure you you could fracture the molecule bonds of water with that low of a voltage.
The typical sweet spot for voltage is around 28-30 VDC.
The o2 sensor extensions actually don't normally work as most cars have 2-4 o2 sensors now and they work with about 4+ other sensors. Tricking them only messes with other sensors and the computer compensates by pushing in more fuel

@@billc7211 I mean this in a good way, chill.
I love your videos. When testing, you try to think of any aspect that could change the outcome. Very thorough testing. Great job!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Love the video Im a big fan. The biggest variable here is the fuel injected controller that is adding the fuel. The controller cannot see that there is another fuel (hydrogen) being added to the combustion chamber so it keeps running it's normal fuel trim.
This means that selling these kits to people is just useless because they are not actually leaning out the gasoline mixture to make room for the HHO to work. If you tune the fuel injector controller (pcm) you can get some small gains in the V8 with the HHO. If you tune the generator or switch to a carb and lean out the gasoline and add HHO, you can get very good gains and maybe almost run 100% on HHO.
Thanks!
correct you are
It wouldn't make sense to me to run 100% on HHO, being that it takes more energy to make the gas than you get in return. This means that you'd have to have some supplement of power. This could be from having to replace/recharge the car's battery, or by using gasoline/diesel. I could see running 50% as a maybe possibility just from a GUESS, but I don't have much of a clue honestly. I'd love to see some proper testing and evidence in these regards.

Great video and effort on testing the HHO generator! However, it looks like there might have been a crucial component missing in your setup - a fuel regulator. The main idea behind HHO systems is to supplement the traditional fuel, allowing your engine to operate on the lowest possible amount of it. A fuel regulator can help control the flow and ensure that the engine uses minimal gasoline or diesel, while benefiting from the higher octane level provided by the hydrogen. This adjustment could significantly improve your system's efficiency. Would love to see how this change impacts your results in future tests!

@@ProjectFarm Dude, try this if you able and still have setup.
Run your car on gas. Measure gas consumption.
Now make hydrogen outside of engine.
Now keep reducing the fuel mix so you running leaner. Keep running lean until engine stops. Now add hydrogen. Keep adding fuel + air making it richer. Now how much less fuel are you using?
This will tell you if you have more efficient combustion because you added hydrogen to the mix. Then it's question of power to produce hydrogen vs savings in less gas consumed.
There could be economic advantages. Gas at $5/gal, it still might be cheaper to cook hydrogen at home and run it with your vehicle.
@@joeboxter3635 How will you store enough hydrogen to give your vehicle decent range (like 400 miles or so)?
@@Cougracer67 Oh, I don't mean this to drive. I mean to determine if adding hydrogen+ air to allows a much leaner fuel mixture to produce same power out.
If it can then that would be some evidence that hydrogen can act as a catalyst to increase gas efficiency. At least it's a start towards proving this out.
If I understand what he did, he tried original fuel air mixture + hydrogen -- not lean mix.

Effect of hydroxy (HHO) gas addition on gasoline engine performance and emissions
Mohamed M.EL-KassabyYehia A.EldrainyMohamed E.KhidrKareem I.Khidr
Mechanical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Alexandria University, Egypt
Received 8 June 2015, Revised 14 October 2015, Accepted 28 October 2015, Available online 21 November 2015, Version of Record 8 March 2016.
Abstract
The objective of this work was to construct a simple innovative HHO generation system and evaluate the effect of hydroxyl gas HHO addition, as an engine performance improver, into gasoline fuel on engine performance and emissions. HHO cell was designed, fabricated and optimized for maximum HHO gas productivity per input power. The optimized parameters were the number of neutral plates, distance between them and type and quantity of two catalysts of Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The performance of a Skoda Felicia 1.3 GLXi gasoline engine was evaluated with and without the optimized HHO cell. In addition, the CO, HC and NOx emissions were measured using TECNO TEST exhaust gas analyzer TE488. The results showed that the HHO gas maximum productivity of the cell was 18 L/h when using 2 neutrals plates with 1 mm distance and 6 g/L of KOH. The results also showed 10% increment in the gasoline engine thermal efficiency, 34% reduction in fuel consumption, 18% reduction in CO, 14% reduction in HC and 15% reduction in NOx.
Since you drilled that hole in your air intake, I can’t help but suspect a “Which aftermarket cold air intake is best” video in the works lol
He already knows which duct tape work best. Air intake IS technically a duct so using it wouldn't even be Jerry rigging it
Likely K&N, but that's because it offers almost no restriction on air flow due to extremely poor filtration. Great for the 1/4 mile drag ...but slowly killing your daily driver by always letting dust and debris into your engine.
@@SomeGuy-vo7we actually K&N isn’t the best. Black bear performance did some dyno testing on the popular intakes with GM vehicles.
He already did that and most of those cold air filters are garbage at filtering.
Most of the time the stock airbox is best.

This wouldn't cause any violation of thermodynamics. Cars are WELL below the Carnot efficiency, the max effeciency a heat engine can reach at a given temperature, which is about 40-50% at car engine temperatures. Cars run at more like 20-30% efficiency, so it's plausible to get a bit more out of it, just not in this way.

@@explorenaked I remember "Salton Sea Resort" ads from early 1960.
Try using a separate rechargeable battery bank for the electricity to make the HHO gas.
Using electricity to make HHO to run a engine is less efficient than just the electricity for an electric car but would be easier & cheaper to make a HHO/gasoline hybrid than trying to build a gas/electric hybrid.
Take a small 4 cylinder pickup truck, add a battery bank and some solar panels to the truck roof & bed cover. Use the solar panels to recharge the battery bank that makes the HHO.
Probably still more trouble than worth but would improve MPGs depending on how much HHO is added.
Similarly related, I hope he tests Water - Methanol Injection. It's reported all over that it works, but you _do_ need to advance the engine timing. It works because it lowers the temperature in the combustion chamber _and_ acts to increase downward pressure in the combustion chamber, while allowing you to increase the engine timing. As a bonus, it keeps pistons clean.

I have been binge watching you for 3 days, and I am extremely impressed with your engineering skills, dedication, and attention to detail in your videos. To me, your reviews are as good as Consumer Reports reviews in the old days. I am really glad I found you.
Thanks!
I’d say better than consumer reports. He’s got nothing to gain.
Consumer reports in the old days? What sis they do to them current days?
No. He is FAR better than consumer reports
I support you! thank you for your work. it is very interesting.
Thanks so much!
I learn a great deal watching your show. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome! Glad to hear!
i remember a friend of mine around 2006 was trying to convince me that these kits would make our cars get better MPG. Snake oil never dies.
I remember these kits from 1986 and it came with a free spark amplifier that went on top of the coil.
Same. I explained the physics to him then too.
Snake oil is stronger than ever. Discouraging.
@@wiredforstereo Yeah, it should seem pretty simple "you can't get more energy out of a system than goes into it."
This thing uses energy from the engine to do what it does, so how would it improve engine efficiency when *at best* it could only break even?!
@@steventhomas5865 I have one of those spark amplifier thingies! I got it at a trade show back in the 90s along with my sample of Dura-Lube after watching an engine run without an oil pan. 😉
I’m 76. Can’t remember how many ‘new inventions’ were advertised in my life time to improve your car’s performance. None of them worked. They were usually seen
in Popular Mechanics, Mechanics Illustrated and Popular Science. Small ads in the back of the magazine.
Thanks for sharing.
a lot of inventions did help make combustion engines more
Efficient. Injection, turbochargers,... The thing with those inventions is that they became mainstream pretty fast.
Popular mechanics was awesome source of gimmick ideas, read it everyday in study hall in the 80s.
Magnets on fuel lines still being sold. I met the fraudster who is Rich from this nonsense.
Sad
Makes one wonder if it isnt a coincidence that we have scientists and engineers optimizing motors worldwide and no car is using one of those kits. One would nearly go so far and say those guys know what they are doing :o
Thanks for this detailed , very well explained expirment.
I've run HHO systems before with mixed results. I was able to achieve a 20% millage improvement for highway driving only in a 96' 2.2L Subaru. The problem comes down to the EFI system which compensates the amount of fuel injected based off of the increase of O2 picked up by the 02 sensor, with the HHO, as well as the trouble of this effect with the variation of air/fuel mix to constant HHO output, produced by the fuel cell, unless you invest in specialized electronics which match the HHO production to air/fuel mix. For this reason in my experience with vehicles that work with HHO will only see gains after resetting the computer and maintaining a semi consistent air/fuel mix to HHO such as highway driving, once the vehicle is allowed to idle for extended periods the 02 sensor picks up the additional oxygen and registers a lean burn condition injecting more gas to make up for it and this is stored in the trim tab memory banks where by gains quickly disappear. Different vehicle manufacturers also apparently have different fuel management programs as well, I have tried two high quality installations on Ford with no effect unfortunately. There are two work arounds for this which are costly and complicate the installation. One is a smart PWM that controls the amount of HHO the cell produces to match the air/fuel ration but to function it must be spliced into the wiring harness of many of the engine sensors. The other are hydrogen separator cells which separate the hydrogen and oxygen releasing the oxygen and only adding the hydrogen to the combustion. In any case the computers trim tab memory should be cleared prior to running the system. IMHO the generator did not see fuel efficiency improvements because it is an EFI generator and was reading the added O2 as a lean condition which it compensated for by increasing the fuel injection beyond the actual amount needed for combustion. I would like to do another HHO installation on another vehicle and perhaps will post a video of it. Check my channel if your interested and perhaps you will find it a few months from now. Great video btw, with this information perhaps you could have seen different results.
Thank you for your work on this and detailed explanation of what you did, and your findings.
nice! I have to chime in though I designed a cell several years ago, (actually 4 cells ganged together). I installed it on my 97 dodge ram. I swear, I went from 200 miles to the tank to 400. The draw back was my cells would wear out within the month. My cells were unique. Some say they looked like strands of dna
so standalone system and problem solved or a remapping and its potential is greater than the cost in the end lol .... thanks for this tho bro as i am a knowledge freak and love learning stuff like this .. peace and love brotha keep it rad stay safe and build on ... l8z
I achieve a 15 -20% millage improvement in my 2005 Chrysler Pacifica, hho generator was runing on 30Amps, I don't remember the number but the gas (HHO) output was quite high
Great job 👏🏻
I remember before everyone had the availability of the internet at anytime, a lot of people automatically believed anything they heard on TV or in magazines. Thanks to your channel and a few others we now see the real results of these products.
The modern-day version of gullible is watching CNN.

Zip ties this magnet to your fuel line for great fuel savings!
@@KarateSensei71 or Fox or any corporate media.
Yeah, although the HHO craze really took off on the internet back in the mid 2000's, so I'm not sure what that says :)
You’re the man for making all of these non-sponsored videos for us to see how products really perform! Keep up the good work boss 👍
Thank you, will do!
I love your test on everything, very thorough.
Thanks so much!

Snake oil. Unfortunately a lot of people still fall for this :(
Always explain to them, if it made enough gas to help anything, the motor would have to run harder to power the generator, and it never works xc
Deliberately blowing $200 when you KNOW ahead of time that it's a "perpetual-motion machine" is going above and beyond the call of duty for a content-creator. (After that crap is torn back off, he should see if it blends, and then whether or not it'll stop a fifty-cal.)
@@geth__commands_6300 Everything is relevant to weight? Gravity is not, all objects fall at the same rate in a vacuum. Time, when traveling near the speed of light is relevant for the occupant.
If hydrogen is utilised you know it is used to generate electricity to operate the motors because the is not any air for the engine use, don't you. Even diesel engine submarines use batteries to run under water. Without batteries, all submarines would be useless underwater.
In your insult to the OP, what does "you must be the old and new generation well done" mean? Perhaps because they are not in the correct generation, the one in the middle of generations. I wouldn't know how that could be insulting. Also now that you are aware of everything in your statement is incorrect, false or misleading, does that mean you resend your insult?
This SNAKE OIL should be taken off the shelf and the owner held liable !!!!
Snake oil or improperly installed?
To see any improvement on a fuel injected car the oxygen sensors need wrapped with aluminum foil.
this will cause the car to lean out it’s fuel to air mixture.
The hydrogen hose needs put into the vacuum system generally the brake booster line with a three-way connector.
A resistor spliced into the wires to the map sensor to tricks the vehicle into believing that there is no Vacuum leak. That idle air control valve will do its job and bring the vehicle back down to a Smooth idol.
Have made my own using a mason jar.
It did increase mileage a lot .
Chevy 350ci V-8 went from 15 mpg to a bit over 50mpg..
The Chevy 4cyl went from 40 mpg to over 100mpg.
Carburetors not EFI is why
Thanks for your time investment on this test! Good job!
Thanks and you are welcome!
I feel like his BS meter is so finely tuned that you can tell the outcome just by the way he says "we're gonna test that.."
Thanks for the feedback.
He needs to add a physical BS Meter or BS score to the show, lol. This one earned 10/10 BS score.
@@weldabar I feel like that just wouldn't be his style. a BS score would be too gaudy for him I think. I like the idea, I just don't think it would fit.
Yeah, too gaudy indeed. The sly smirk and the promise to test the claim is enough.
lmao!!
Project Farm's thumbnail game has truly ascended to new heights
Lol, Thank you!
Never tried one of these, but my hats off to you for trying. Kind of expected it to be a scam. My cousins and I did a homemade electolysis-gasoline hybrid some 20 years ago. The results were kinda neat with ours. We doubled fuel economy, but only during the first 20 minutes of driving. After that economy tanked big, but still remained slightly above normal. As far as we could deduce, it was something to do with the computer module, and we didn't have the ability to really toy with that. Ended up converting a few family members engines, until there was a little bit of an accident, then we all switched back lol
It required more work than it's worth tbh.
Thanks for the feedback.
Bro I love the tests u do keep it up bud
Thanks, will do!
Love Your Channel! God Bless You Bro!
Thanks!
A better way of saving fuel is to fit small wheels at the front and big wheels at the back, then you are always driving downhill except for steep mountain roads.
Hahahaha!
Awesome....I wonder how many people went and put some lift kit on the rear of their vehicle.
Bruh
@Aquatic Ape hilarious 😆
even - the small wheel inna front give you triple the speedo speed :)
I knew what the results would be, but I still watched and appreciate the work. Thanks Todd!
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
I was hoping it didn't work.
@Charles McKinley Settle down there, Sparky. It was a turn of phrase.
@Charles McKinley i didn't do well in school, can u tell me why this had no chance of doing anything good pls? :>
*edit: i read some more comments and maybe sorta kinda get it lol basic energy cost vs. what it produces? breakin apart water costs energy, and the hydrogen doesn't have the potential to make more energy than it cost to produce in the first place?
@@outseeker There is that, of course. This gizmo must actually be a net energy drain...using the alternator to produce zero benefit totals up to a net negative.
If you're going to get any usable power out of hydrogen, you've got to keep it separate from the oxygen until it's in the combustion cylinder. This kit spits the two gasses out through the same tube, into a common tank. By the time they get to the engine, they're already recombined. The bubbles you see are certainly just water vapor that has not condensed yet. And it's such a tiny, tiny amount of that, that even if adding water vapor to an engine's intake WAS beneficial, there's no way any performance differences could be measured without extended run time in a very expensive laboratory environment.
Thank you so much for making this video
You are welcome!
thanks, Todd another great money saver and time and trouble. I am still amazed where you get all the testing tools.....awesome.
Thanks!
I've really been wondering about this since I saw a video selling them last year
Thanks for watching!
I can really appreciate Project Farm's dedication toward controlled testing, going the extra step by not allowing companies to muddy the waters by sending him free products.
Thanks!
@@ProjectFarm Thanks for what?Your test was a failure,you didn't even hook it up properly.Why didn't you hook up the generator to the alternator,the result would have much better for the hydrogen mileage but no you hooked it up to the battery,how much did big oil pay you to dupe the test.Well it don't matter anyway because the hho system did quite well in it's own right
Considering the differences in the price of water and the price of gas.
I dont quite see the reasoning, if a company sends in a product for review then an honest unbiased review they would get. Now a company sending in a product to be "promoted" would be entirely different and would be basically equivalent to getting paid to say good things about their product.
@@BlackHeartScyther He might still review the product honestly, but many people would accuse him of going easy on a company for supplying free products. The comment before yours accuses him of being a Big Oil shill for the simple crime of not concluding that HHO shows benefits.
@@bugsbunny3488 The only thing he did wrong was not tune the fuel injectors so the whole test is pretty much invalid. He has to test it w/ a carb generator and adjust the mixture it to really see if it will work or not. he did have power supply to the generator so it not like he was pulling power from another source.
I'm a young mechanic and I have to say I'm extremely thankful to see you test some of these things. I learn a lot which I then apply to my work. Keep it up man
Thank you very much!
And THANK YOU for being an honest mechanic! 🔧👍

It may not have cleaned the plugs, but it sure did clean out your wallet.
I think it's more about buildup over time not being as significant
@@THESLlCK Since it's using more fuel that would be impossible.
Yeah hydroxy gas ain't for liquid engines

He might just buy them by the gross.
Did you notice any difference in fuel economy on the suburban? Just curious cause the generator is carbureted and the suburban is fuel injected so maybe the suburban ECU will see if it running lean or rich and maybe adjust fuel. And I love your videos straight to the point!
Generator is fuel injected also...

You should use the thread tape for gasses vs the liquid kind. I believe it’s usually yellow in color 👍😊
LOVE your videos! Don’t buy anything without watching your amazing work to see what will serve my needs best! 🙏☺️
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
Teflon tape is Teflon tape. It makes no difference. The only difference is the color which is to denote that the joined fitting is being used for flammable gas service.
However, in many instances the tape thickness may be greater. This is compensated with more or less wraps of Teflon on the threads.
In practical service the color of the tape does not change the performance of the tape regardless of the application.
This Man is fantastic. I really appreciate his work!

Soon as people started being able to monitize their videos allot of people began to get greedy and push out crap content in order to make a quick few quid. Then since sponsorships came around RUclips took a rapid decline into the ground. It's so hard to find dedicated content creators that stick to their ground, don't get sold to companies and don't give into easy money at the sacrifice of their fan base.
Im just glad that some channels don't do that and this is definitely 1 of them. The content has stayed great for years.
We all need to appreciate what this man went through to get these results while all of our Ass are on the couch enjoying and learning what to buy and what not.
