HHO conversion kits have become a phenomenon sweeping the internet, especially as gas prices have been increasing. People are lured with the promise of improved fuel efficiency. While we are currently in a normalized period as it relates to gasprices, the future promises the return of sky-high gasoline prices. HHO is commonly referred to as hydrogen (not an accurate reference) and Brown’s Gas, among others. But do these conversion kits truly perform?
The answer to this question is very subjective. Many people have built and installed a system that they claim has produced huge improvements in fuel economy and increased the power of their vehicle. But let’s look at some of the truths about these converters.
1. They are not clear-cut, as some may claim. I have personally built a converter from plans on the internet. It involved a glass jar, some hard to find parts, and lots of patience. I actually broke the plexiglass I used as a tower on multiple occasions. This ended up being a major frustration.
2. There is no documented proof backing up their claims (none that I have seen, that is). There are many designs available online. Just go to eBay and look for yourself. A search for HHO will result in many devices sharing the same claim: it will cut your fuel costs. But is there an approved laboratory that has proven this? Is there a standard which, when followed by manufacturers, will produce repeatable results?
3. HHO converters are not maintenance free. Water must be added, stainless steel parts must be replaced, etc. In freezing climates, there is the risk of the water in the converter freezing, causing a potentially dangerous situation.
4. Newer vehicles have computers that must be ‘tricked’ or somehow modified to avoid working against the modification. Often times this trick involves reducing the fuel/air mixture, resulting in potential power loss. Others recommend wrapping aluminum foil around your oxygen sensors, tricking them into giving false readings. That sounds trustworthy.
Brown’s Gas can work for some. However, unless you are very mechanically inclined or simply love to labor under the hood, try another alternative.
Different Technology
Rather than manipulating what goes into the engine, why not control what comes out? Let me clarify. The greatest way to truly lessen emissions and improve the efficiency of your vehicle, thereby reducing costs (getting better gas mileage), is available and very affordable. The InterCharger imparts electrochemical changes to the hydrocarbon emissions as they pass through the device. This results in a much cleaner intake as well as reduced pollution. The end result, proven result is better fuel efficiency, smoother engine performance, and less pollution.
The Intercharger will:
* Reduce toxic crankcase emissions
* Reduce overall emissions
* Reduce maintenance costs
* Improve engine performance
* Extend the life of the engine
* Increase fuel efficiency

Sir,
Do you have a more recent opinion on this Intercharger device? I get very conflicting opinions and I’m not sure of the validity of their testimonials on their website.
Possibly the most important aspect of HHO is using it to reduce consumption along with improvements in fuel burn and lessen contamination.
