Hydrogen Generators for Cars and Trucks

Hydrogen generators for cars and trucks are becoming increasingly popular. And, why not, since these units can increase gas mileage, increase engine performance and decrease emissions all at the same time.

Hydrogen generators for cars and trucks are sometimes called hydrogen boosting technology or hydrogen injection or even hydrogen additive technology.

But, no matter what you can it, they all work in a similar fashion.

The idea behind onboard hydrogen generators for cars and trucks is that they use electricity provided by the car to electrolyze a small amount of water and inject the resulting hydrogen and oxygen gases into the vehicle's intake system. The hydrogen and oxygen displace some of the fossil fuels in the cylinders, help the gasoline or diesel fuel to burn more efficiently, increase power and decrease pollutants coming out the tailpipe.

Disclaimer: One must note that hydrogen generators are controversial right now as critics say they don't work and if they do they don't work as well as some vendors advertise.

Below is a list of some of the more popular hydrogen generator kits and DIY systems that are currently on the market.

Hydrogen DIY Plans

Gas 4 Free offers a comprehensive a well laid out set of plans to use water as supplemental fuel to increase mileage and lower emissions in any model and year of car or light truck. This set of hydrogen generator plans costs a little more than the others but is well worth it as it is well thought out, well laid out and a cut above the rest.

Water 4 Gas is an inexpensive do-it-yourself set of project plans for those with mild to moderate mechanical ability. Two books will show car owners how to electrolyze water, and inject the HHO gases to increase gas mileage and decrease emissions. The downside if the Mason Jar and the recommended baking soda electrolyzer when others recommend KOH or NaOH as being more effective.

Fuel Trips offers plans to let consumers easily convert their cars to use water as an additive to any internal combustion engine. One trip to the hardware store is all it takes.

Drive with Water Fuel - Geared towards novices who barely know how to tinker with an automobile, this step-by-step guide is short and to the point.

Smack's Booster is a DIY system that shows garage inventors how to build the electrolysis unit step-by-step.

National Vapor Industries - offers several different types of units and currently has an application pending with the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

HydroLectricPower - hydrogen only device (not HHO) that is approved by CARB for reducing tailpipe emissions and is said to significantly increase gas mileage.

Hydrogen Generator Kits for Light Trucks Only

Get Hydro Power is a system for light trucks that mounts in the toolbox or bed of the vehicle. The systems start at $2,095 and go up to $11,490.

Hydrogen Generator Kits for Large Trucks

Hydro Power Pak is a retrofit system for semi-tractor trailer rigs that will electrolyze water and inject hydrogen and oxygen into the intake manifold. This will increase engine performance and decrease emissions.

Hy-Drive - hydrogen generation system (HGS) for the mining and trucking industry.

Hydrogen Hybrid Technologies - Offers HFI LX and SX series units for larger and smaller trucks.

Go Green Fuel Systems - uses electrolysis of water to increase gas mileage in diesel trucks. The offer a free flow system that has been field-tested around the Dallas area.

GreenChek Technology - uses a hydrogen fuel injection system for large trucks, diesel trains and buses.

As you can see, there are quite a few choices of hydrogen generators for cars and trucks and more are being developed all the time. With gasoline prices at all-time highs and global warming a worldwide threat, many people are looking for a way to use less fuel now. The devices listed on this page are a step in the right direction. For other hydrogen generator types please check out the page listed as many different systems exist in today's marketplace.
