What is a “Supplemental Hydrogen Generator”?
A supplemental hydrogen generator is a container, e.g., a 32 oz. Ball Jar, that holds distilled water and an electrolyte. The water with the electrolyte is charged using the motor vehicle’s battery, that is, electricity (12 Volts direct current) is conducted into the negative terminal and also into the positive terminal of the jar. It is important that the battery’s electricity is used for electrolysis only when the ignition is turned on. This is the meaning of H.O.D. – hydrogen on demand. This induces electrolysis which separates the hydrogen molecules and the oxygen molecules of the water. As the oxygen and the hydrogen molecules bubble up through the electrolyte, a vacuum hose sucks these gas molecules into the air intake manifold of the engine of your motor vehicle. The oxygen increases the octane level of the fuel. The hydrogen increases the flame spread of the fuel during the combustion process, that is, the hydrogen makes the flame in your piston cylinders burn faster resulting in more of the vaporized fuel combusting. Thus, more of the fuel your engine is burning to power your motor vehicle. The hydrogen is used as a combustion catalyst. The result is reduced waste emissions from incomplete combustion, increase power being generated by the engine, and increased gas mileage due to increased fuel efficiency.
Is “supplemental hydrogen” the same as Brown’s Gas?
Yul Brown was an Australian professor who is credited with inventing the process of using hydrogen and oxygen obtained via the electrolysis of water without any spontaneous combustion. Brown’s gas was first used to weld dissimilar materials together, e.g., glass and metal, or metal and brick. Supplemental hydrogen, Brown’s gas, Browns gas, Rhodes gas (after William Rhodes), and H-H-O are different names for the same gas. By using Brown’s system of electrolysis of water, one liter of water can be made into approximately 1,860 liters of hydrogen gas.
How does supplemental hydrogen reduce exhaust emissions from your motor vehicle?
Unburned fuel is the largest component of your motor vehicle’s exhaust emissions. This unburned fuel is what pollutes our air. The supplemental hydrogen molecules burn faster than the molecules of gasoline or diesel fuel. This decreases the time it takes for combustion to occur inside your motor vehicle’s piston cylinders and at the same time increases the amount of fuel being combusted. Thus, the engine generates more power with more complete combustion releasing fewer unburned fuel molecules in the exhaust emission.
Does supplemental hydrogen reduce carbon build-up in the piston walls and heads?
The combustion of gasoline and diesel fuels leaves behind carbon deposits on the piston cylinders and on the piston heads and on valve heads. Most of this unburned carbon is released into the atmosphere via the exhaust system. However, a thin layer of solidified carbon coats the cylinder walls and piston heads. This excess carbon (which is greatly reduced by burning unleaded fuel) decreases the power of the engine. High octane fuels help burn off these carbon deposits. Supplemental hydrogen not only increases combustion efficiency. It also raises the octane level of your fuel which means your engine is burning fuel more cleanly including the carbon deposits. Thus, your motor vehicle burns carbon residue creating increased horsepower and increases fuel economy (gas mileage by 20% to 50% depending on the condition of your engine and upon your driving habits and the terrain you drive over and load you carry) and also makes your engine run smoother.
Is it safe to add a supplemental hydrogen generator to my motor vehicle’s fuel system?
Supplemental hydrogen generator fuel systems are closed systems. That is, they do not contain any stored hydrogen but instead create “hydrogen on demand” through electrolysis as the engine operates. This supplemental hydrogen and oxygen is channeled instantly via vacuum hose into the motor vehicle’s air intake manifold where it is mixed with the fuel injected into the combustion cylinders. Because the hydrogen does not come in contact with ambient air and because there is no pure hydrogen in the jars when the motor vehicle is not running, there is no danger of a fire even if the jars were to be punctured or broken. All that would happen would be that the water would leak out. These H.O.D. (hydrogen on demand) systems are safer than the gasoline fueled engines that they supplement. Further, combustion of hydrogen produces only water as a by-product, so there is no danger from flammable fuel by-products
Does supplemental hydrogen on demand work with diesel engines?
Supplemental hydrogen generators work with both gasoline and with diesel engines. Truckers are concerned with increasing diesel fuel economy. Most diesel powered trucks increase their fuel economy by 5% - 20% depending on the load being hauled, the driving conditions and terrain, and the condition of the truck’s engine. In 2007, Purdue University did a research study into the effectiveness of supplemental hydrogen and diesel engines. The study indicated that diesel engines increase fuel economy by approximately 15% on average. And most truckers will attest, 15% increase in diesel fuel economy amounts to saving thousands of dollars each month. Further, according to Wired.com (a Salina, Kansas trucking company), their average savings per month per truck after installing supplemental hydrogen generators on the trucks was $1.700.00 per month savings.
In fact, supplemental hydrogen generators work on any motor vehicle that has an air intake feed for the engine, which includes boats.
How can adding a supplemental hydrogen generator to my car’s fuel system save me money?
Consider, for an example, that your car uses 12 gallons of gas a week and that your car gets 25 miles per gallon fuel efficiency. At $4.00 per gallon for gas, you spend $48.00 to drive 300 miles each week. If you increased your fuel efficiency by the 20% minimum (that is, you would burn only 9.6 gallons of gas to drive the same 300 miles), it would cost you $38.40 to drive the same 250 miles each week. Thus, you would save approximately $10.00 per week driving the same routes. At the end of the first year, you would have saved approximately $500.00. Of course, if you got better fuel efficiency than 20% or drive more than 300 miles per week or if your motor vehicle gets less than 25 miles per gallon, your money savings would be correspondingly greater.
What are the tax deductions for installing a supplemental hydrogen generator in your car?
The I.R.S. (Internal Revenue Service) permits a taxpayer to deduct the cost of any property that you purchase in order that your car run on clean-burning fuel. Obtain a copy of I.R.S. Form No. 8911 which is a deduction from gross income for installing fuel conserving H-H-O generators into motor vehicles. This deduction is to be used in the taxable year that the hydrogen generator is installed into you motor vehicle. The clean-burning fuels accepted by the I.R.S. are hydrogen, liquefied natural gas, natural gas, liquefied petroleum, electricity, and E85 (or higher alcohol content fuel). The supplemental hydrogen generator must be installed in your motor vehicle in the year it is claimed as a deduction from gross income.

How much does it cost to run a supplemental hydrogen generator in your motor vehicle?
The cost is less than Twenty-five Cents ($.25) per week for most motor vehicles. The electrolyte costs less than $2.00 per year. Distilled water costs approximately $1.00 per gallon. The average consumption of distilled water per supplemental hydrogen generator is approximately one quart per 600 miles. So, if you drive 20,000 miles per year, you can anticipate buying 8 gallons of distilled water.
Will installing a supplemental hydrogen generator into my motor vehicle’s fuel system void the warranty on my motor vehicle?
Conditions that may void a vehicle’s warranty are specified in a federal law called the “Moss Magnusson Act” which states that dealers cannot void auto warranties because the vehicle has after-market parts. If the dealer can prove that a particular after-market part caused the failure of a vehicle component, then the dealer may disallow a claim for that issue only. It should be noted that the H-H-O fuel supplement kit does not in any way modify the engine.
All Sensor or Fuel System modifications can void a manufacturer’s warranty if that modification caused the system failure, regardless of what the after-market manufacturer may claim. If the auto dealer finds the after-market “Oxyisolator” in the car and your warranty claim is engine related, the dealer may have a case and may attempt to not honor your engine claim under warranty. In this event, the dealer must still prove that the modification caused the failure. To date, there have been no failures caused by H-H-O as a supplemental fuel. It should be noted as a practical matter that the cost of litigation to the dealer (as well as to yourself) will be far more money than it would cost to honor the warranty.
