Hydrogen Generator Build Thread
I installed a Hydrogen Generator in my TJ last weekend and have seen some amazing results. I'm not a scientist just an average joe. I decided to try this just to see if it worked. It did for me. How long will it work? I'm not sure but here's how I built it. Do this at your own risk. I am not a mechanic or any kind of professional car specialist. This is just to document and share what I did to my Jeep. I will be updating this build over the next week. I will get it up as soon as possible. To busy at work to do it at one time. Enjoy.
Many think this is a plot for me to make money. It's not. After all I am showing how I did this for free. All the parts can be purchased at walmart and a hardware store. I am simply a jeep enthusiast that loves tinkering. I spend lot of time on this forum and I wanted to contribute. That's all. Stay tuned.

The Evidence
Here is the evidence everyone wants. It worked for me. I'm not sure of the long term effects. I hope to document them on this thread.
I filled up after work drove 21.6 miles to an other gas station then filled up again the receipt gave me how many gallons I used. Here is the reciept showing the time and location where I filled up. ![]() Here is the receipt showing the time I filled up, location and how many gallons I put in. Which is .516 gallons. ![]() Here is a link to google showing the two locations and the miles between them. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=TX-290&daddr=E+Palm+Valley+Blvd%2FUS-79&hl=en&geocode=FRfRzgEdGmEu-g%3BFTvC0QEdUDUu-g&mra=ls&sll=30.524432,-97.634135&sspn=0.004575,0.00927&ie=UTF8&z=11 As you can see I traveled 21.6 miles and used only .516 gallons. Google's estimated time is 25 minutes I took 29 min. That adds up to 44 miles per gallon. Going 60 mph on the highway. Cheers

I want to try this but can't seem to find a write-up with parts and instructions listed that doesn't cost $100.

That really doesn't work. Next time be sure to fill up at the same station on the same pump if you want truly consistent results.

I used two different stations in order to take the toll highway. I wanted to try to maintain 60 mph as much as possible. I was going to drive the same road the next day with the generator off but after seeing the obvious results. I didn't feel it was necessary.

Thank you for having the guts to try it out for yourself.
I hope you get it to work, if it does I might have to try my backup vehicle. |

Run it for a month and get back to us. 21.6 miles tells you absolutely nothing.

You won't need a whole month, just run for one FULL tank and you'll see no increase.
I know for I have gave it my best and failed. It doesn't work on Jeeps. |

even if it were to only get him 20 MPG, that would be awesome... I would kill for anything over 15 MPG at this point...
