Why hho is a hoax

Now switch on your hho generator, if there is sufficient gas production your speed and RPM mast grove again to a maximum value at this throttle value. If you do all this steps you will exactly see the RPM Window in with your generator will really works for you. Maybe you wonder now, at the beginning I said that a hho generator will work and now I tell you it wont work.

You have absolutely right, but I also said that it works under special condition. What are this special condition?. If you want to get the maximum advantage installing a hho generator you have first think about the following. How is your driving style?. No I am a cruiser, long distance driver. Your welcome, you have the best opportunity to handle on hho-generator.

If you take the car owner manual and look to the technical data of your car the most car producer inform you about the fuel consume of your car. And exactly here is the big secret of fuel saving using on hho-generator. OK I understand this but how can I handle this. Remember you already find out your most used Speed and RPM.

Now you have to find on generator what is able to supply this gas amount. Next, after install the generator, hope you have on speed control, cruise control installed.

Speed up your car to your favourite speed, and now set your speed control to this speed. Example: 90 KMH At this moment your hho generator must start his gas production. How to connect the generator to the cruise control, plans that for ask by mail. What happened now exactly. Setting your speed control to 90 KMH your speed control tray to save this speed all the time. Throttle is open to the value xxx. When the road begin to grove up, uphill, your speed control want to hold the defined speed, but because you need more power to hold the speed, your speed control must accelerate, that means you need more gas for this short time, speed and RPM is the some.

Now the road goes down, downhill, your car needs les power so at the some throttle position your speed groves up, also your RPM, your speed control tray to handle this new situation and reduce the throttle position to negative, so much as to can hold the defined speed 90 KMH. In some case to zero, can easy be proofed when your car has on economy fuel meter, bordcomputer.

T he idea of hydrogen as the fuel of the future dates back to Jules Verne, and by the s was a staple of science fiction. By the s, however, it was apparent that nuclear energy, while potentially competitive with conventional power, did not usher in a new golden age of cheap electricity. Incredibly, the Bush administration swallowed it, hook, line, and sinker. As a result, over the past six years, billions of dollars have been dished out to national labs, auto companies, fuel-cell firms, and other beneficiaries of government largesse on hydrogen show projects that have no practical application.

The problem with this expenditure is not simply the waste; the government throws away vaster sums on any number of other useless programs all the time. In consequence, despite the obvious relationship between oil dependence and the war with Islamist terrorism, no competent policy for achieving energy security has been put forth. If we are to achieve any progress on this most critical issue, the myth of the hydrogen economy needs to be debunked. It is bad science, bad economics, and bad public policy.

H ydrogen is only a source of energy if it can be taken in its pure form and reacted with another chemical, such as oxygen. But all the hydrogen on Earth, except that in hydrocarbons, has already been oxidized, so none of it is available as fuel. If you want to get plentiful unbound hydrogen, the closest place it can be found is on the surface of the Sun; mining this hydrogen supply would be quite a trick. After the Sun, the next closest source of free hydrogen would be the atmosphere of Jupiter.

Jupiter is surrounded by radiation belts so intense that they are deadly to humans and electronics. It also has a massive gravity field that would severely impair hydrogen export operations.

These would also be complicated by the 2. So if we put aside the spectacularly improbable prospect of fueling our planet with extraterrestrial hydrogen imports, the only way to get free hydrogen on Earth is to make it. The trouble is that making hydrogen requires more energy than the hydrogen so produced can provide.

Hydrogen, therefore, is not a source of energy. It simply is a carrier of energy. And it is, as we shall see, an extremely poor one. The spokesmen for the hydrogen hoax claim that hydrogen will be manufactured from water via electrolysis.

It is certainly possible to make hydrogen this way, but it is very expensive — so much so, that only four percent of all hydrogen currently produced in the United States is produced in this manner. The rest is made by breaking down hydrocarbons, through processes like pyrolysis of natural gas or steam reforming of coal.

Neither type of hydrogen is even remotely economical as fuel. High purity hydrogen made from electrolysis for scientific applications costs considerably more. For comparison, a kilogram of hydrogen contains about the same amount of energy as a gallon of gasoline. This means that even if hydrogen cars were available and hydrogen stations existed to fuel them, no one with the power to choose otherwise would ever buy such vehicles.

This fact alone makes the hydrogen economy a non-starter in a free society. And even if you are among those willing to sacrifice freedom and economic rationality for the sake of the environment, and therefore prefer hydrogen for its advertised benefit of reduced carbon dioxide emissions, think again. Because hydrogen is actually made by reforming hydrocarbons, its use as fuel would not reduce greenhouse gas emissions at all.

In fact, it would greatly increase them. To see this, let us consider an example. You choose to do it via steam reformation of natural gas, the most common technique used commercially today. The reaction is:.

As the positive enthalpy change indicates, the reaction is endothermic that is, heat-absorbing and will need an outside source of energy to drive it forward. Assuming an optimistic 72 percent efficiency in using the combustion energy to drive the steam reformation, this would allow us to reform 2.

So if we take five units of reaction 1 and add it to two units of reaction 2 , the net reaction becomes:. As far as usable fuel is concerned, what we have managed to do is trade seven moles of methane for twenty moles of hydrogen.

Seven moles of carbon dioxide have also been produced, exactly as many as would have been produced had we simply used the methane itself as fuel.

The seven moles of methane that we used up, however, would have been worth kilocalories of energy if used directly, while the twenty moles of hydrogen we have produced in exchange for all our trouble are only worth kilocalories.

So for the same amount of carbon dioxide released, less useful energy has been produced. The situation is much worse than this, however, because before the hydrogen can be transported anywhere, it needs to be either compressed or liquefied. To liquefy it, it must be refrigerated down to a temperature of 20 K 20 degrees above absolute zero, or degrees Celsius.

At these temperatures, the fundamental laws of thermodynamics make refrigerators extremely inefficient. As a result, about 40 percent of the energy in the hydrogen must be spent to liquefy it. This reduces the actual net energy content of our product fuel to kilocalories. In addition, because it is a cryogenic liquid, still more energy could be expected to be lost as the hydrogen boils away during transport and storage. As an alternative, one could use high pressure pumps to compress the hydrogen as gas instead of liquefying it for transport.

This would only require wasting about 20 percent of the energy in the hydrogen. The problem is that safety-approved, steel compressed-gas tanks capable of storing hydrogen at 5, psi weigh approximately 65 times as much as the hydrogen they can contain. So to transport kilograms of compressed hydrogen, roughly equal in energy content to just gallons of gasoline, would require a truck capable of hauling a ton load.

Think about that: an entire large truckload delivery would be needed simply to transport enough hydrogen to allow ten people to fill up their cars with the energy equivalent of 20 gallons of gasoline each. Instead of steel tanks, one could propose using very expensive lightweight carbon fiber overwrapped tanks, which only weigh about ten times as much as the hydrogen they contain.

This would improve the transport weight ratio by a factor of six. Thus, instead of a ton truck, a mere two-ton truckload would be required to supply enough hydrogen to allow a service station to provide fuel for ten customers. This is still hopeless economically, and could probably not be allowed in any case, since carbon fiber tanks have low crash resistance, making such compressed hydrogen transport trucks deadly bombs on the highway.

In principle, a system of pipelines could, at enormous cost, be built for transporting gaseous hydrogen. Yet because hydrogen is so diffuse, with less than one-third the energy content per unit volume as natural gas, these pipes would have to be very big, and large amounts of energy would be required to move the gas along the line. Another problem with this scheme is that the small hydrogen molecules are brilliant escape artists.

Hydrogen can not only penetrate readily through the most minutely flawed seal, it can actually diffuse right through solid steel itself.

The vast surface area offered by a system of hydrogen pipelines would thus afford ample opportunity for much of the hydrogen to leak away during transport. As hydrogen diffuses into metals, it also embrittles them, causing deterioration of pipelines, valves, fittings, and storage tanks used throughout the entire distribution system.

These would all have to be constantly monitored and regularly inspected, tested, and replaced. Otherwise the distribution system would become a continuous source of catastrophes. Given these technical difficulties, the implementation of an economically viable method of retail hydrogen distribution from large-scale central production factories is essentially impossible.

Because of this, an alternative concept has been proposed wherein methane or methanol fuel would be transported by pipeline or truck, and then steam-reformed into hydrogen at the filling station itself.
