![]() One thing I notice is, now everyone Googles things and some tend to believe what their "research" turns up, we now have so many self proclaimed Google Professors. But that aside, I think there is a another issue. For example if this system works, demand for petrol will drop. Petrol is mostly tax in the UK, so where will the Govt raise tax revenue? UK car tax could go from £150 on my car to £1500 overnight. There will be all sorts of other taxes brought in to replace those lost on petrol. All I see at the moment is use this tech on a small scale so not to force a change in Govt revenue policy. Last edited by totallybonkers; 12-01-2012 at 08:49 AM. |

The Hydrocarbon Crack System is the easiest way to produce Hydrogen on Demand on your regular car or motorbike.
It's easy and cheap to put an HCS set-up on your vehicle. Information at: http://www.facebook.com/groups/121433801328438/ I started with a regular HHO booster which crack Hydrogen and Oxygen out of water. It works but overburdens the engine consuming many of its own gains. I added an HCS and this worked very well (I even gained some mileage per liter of fuel). Then I disconnected the HHO and both the power and the fuel savings went up. Forget HHO. Fit HCS. Dan. |

Hey, edostar. Thanks for mentioning this. A very small amount of googling brought me to a discussion you were involved with on GasSavers forum: http://www.gassavers.org/showthread.php?p=166265
You gave quite a few details in that thread. Might I suggest you start thread here giving an overview for people who may not have heard of this? I think it would be better to discuss hydrocarbon cracking in a separate thread, rather than in an HHO thread. Thanks! I look forward to discussing this with you. |

Hi Apollo_gnomon.
Thanks for the positive response (most people try to prove that it can't possibly work without ever bothering to try it for themselves). Apart from the GasSavers forum thread; I also contribute to a similar thread on the Fuel Saver forum http://www.fuel-saver.org/Thread-Hyd...racking-System and just set up the HCS facebook page that I gave a link to in my last post. I realize that HCS isn't HHO but I like to mention it (even at the risk of being slightly off-topic) as it solves the main problem associated with electrolyzing water; the fact that the alternator is running full tilt just to get you some hydrogen. HCS takes nothing from the engine so any gains in the way of burn efficiency are pure gains. People tend to like the idea of HHO better because it promises to run your car (at least partly) on water. HCS cracks hydrogen from regular gasoline vapour which doesn't feel like such a slap in the face to BIG OIL. If the fuel efficiency gains were marginal; I could sympathize with their lack of enthusiasm but they aren't. I get around 30% extra mileage running HCS on my fuel-injected Family Car in city driving and the gains are much better out of town. I agree that a separate thread would be better than interrupting this HHO discussion. If I start one; I'll link it here. Dan. Last edited by edostar; 02-07-2012 at 02:47 AM. |

Okay; I just started a new thread to explain and discuss the Hydrocarbon Crack System:
http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showt...post1060915533 I wish the discussion on HHO well. Dan. |

I went on to write. Quote:
My 2.2 litre car has a fuel pump delivery rate of about 2 litres per min of petrol. Thats required at maximum load. That petrol is then atomised to 15% of the air fuel in a 1 Litre cylinder. Powering a car on HHO would require similar volumes of HHO gas to atomised petrol. I'm trying to compare 15% volume of HHO gas in 1 litre of air fuel mixture to 2 litres per min of petrol, then atomised. ( I use atomised to describe the carburetion process) I've also got a 2.6 litre car running on LPG, it has a 90 Litre tank which gives me about 250 miles (Rough guesstimate) The LPG is stored as liquid and then heated before entering the engine. So how many litres of gas, does 90 litres of LPG make when its heated? Thats how much HHO has to be produced for the engine. Any help appreciated. |

I think the talk of maximum pump ratings and maximum combustion chamber volume is whats causing the confusion. Just because a car engine has a cubic capacity of 2 litres does not mean it uses 2 litres of fuel on every stroke,
if we take the real world example given for LPG Quote:
A 250 mile journey at a realistic 50mph average means 5hours driving time or 300 mins, this equates to an actual LPG consumption of 0.3 litres per minute (90 litres/300 minutes), rather than the 75 litres per minute quoted before. So, if I have this right, to completely fuel that 2.6 litre car you would need a gas kit capable of producing at least 0.3 litres per minute |

I did some checking and found this - Quote:
146.66 Litres of gas per minute at 1000rpm - my Lotus redlines at 7000rpm! |

That 0.3 litres per minute liquid LPG then heated and expanded into gas. How much volume expansion does liquid create when converted to gas? My petrol fuel pump delivers 2 litres of liquid petrol to the floats per min - that liquid is then atomoised into a mist through the carb and represents 15% of the air fuel mixture in a litre or in my case each 500cc cylinder. HHO gas generators typically produce 2 to 4 litres of HHO gas per min (I think) - a single HHO bubbler is not sufficient to power a car, a single bubbler will only give an MPG improvement. I spoke to one of the manufacturers and they tell me they are working on building devices to completely power the car - but they are not there yet. |

its possible to burn less fuel at a higher rpm for instance, and a 2 litre engine at part throttle can easily return better fuel consumption than a 1.4 litre engine pedal to the metal. Engine displacement and RPM are an indication of the maximum theoretical fuel consumption only, what matters is actual consumption - see example above |

![]() It would take 8 revolutions to suck the full 2.2l of air. So 70 odd litres..Still a fair bit. |

We are talking 1 litre volume of air mixed with 15% litre volume of gas. In fact in my 2.2l Lotus as has been pointed out, each cylinder, by volume is equal to 0.5 litre. So when the piston goes up and down, it draws in, by volume, 0.5 litre of air of which 15% is HHO gas. Then it compresses it and fires it. But there is little doubt, each cylinder is pumping 0.5 litres volume of air on each stroke of which 15% is HHO gas or LPG Vapour or droplets of petrol from an injector or carb. It is shifting hundreds of litres of air and gas per min. |

![]() But does your calculation take into account 1 power stroke per rev or 2? |

Here's my LPG system.
Professionally fitted by the company that originally bought the car. Bay view Vaporiser bottom right hand corner ![]() Air filter The big silver feed pipe goes under the airfilter. ![]() LPG Gas ring! The hose under the airfilter connects to the feeder ring. ![]() They are supposed to stamp the Litres per min, but they don't on the ones I looked at online or on mine - I cleaned it up and checked. I've checked my vaporiser - it says R90/E and below it G.P.L This appears to correspond to a max engine power of 139Kw (186Hp) If they do not specify litres per min then they should say kg per hour, according to section 8 of this paper - Quote:
Quite funny when we first got it - pull out on a car to overtake, kick down, shift gear and watch the car your overtaking pass you by on the inside as you run out of power and slow down behind them. My LPG system fails at speeds over 90 mph and on the very rare occasion I drive that fast I have to sitch over to Petrol. |

a) you are driving your 2.2litre car on a flat road at 3000rpm and barely depressing the accelerator, just cruising along a high speed, b)you are driving your 2.2litre car up a steep hill at 3000rpm and have your foot almost pressed to the floor to maintain the speed obviously this is not true, in the second example you would be using much, much more fuel (by several orders of magnitude), even though the engine bore and stroke is the same and the rpm is the same - the amount of fuel injected into the engine is NOT directly proportional to rpm or bore&stroke (cc). The fuel injection system will inject the fuel/air mix required and this will vary tremendously depending on load and throttle use If your assumptions were correct, there would be no need for fancy computer fuel injection systems, as every stroke gets the same amount of fuel and air anyway, why bother? |

I had not considered this. My Lotus, 2.2l with twin Dellorto carburettor does not have sensors. But as the engine vacum builds, more air is sucked in through other jets, drawing more fuel to contribute to the main jet. Its progressive through the air chambers. So, quite correctly not only does the volume of air and fuel increase but also fuel for extra load, uphills, with passengers etc. So to have any hope at plotting how much fuel is required, you need fuel consumption and air volumes at idle and full load, not just high rpm in neutral gear. Any gas would have to match the fuel volumetrically. Hydrogen having a higher BTU than petrol and LPG having a lower BTU than petrol, adjustment can be made for the gas volume depending on BTU. Petrol requires 15% fuel to air mix. LPG requires more (I get less mpg per litre on LPG than petrol because of this) Hydrogen would require less. I still think the best way look at hydrogen powering cars or HHO generators contributing to MPG is to plot this volumetrically to get an idea of how much gas your HHO or Hydrogen generator needs to be making to have an effect on MPG or completely power the car. |
