The Electrolyzer

The simplest Electrolyzer (Hydrogen Generator) in the world


The simplest Electrolyzer (Hydrogen Generator) in the world

The Electrolyzer is the heart of the Water4Gas system, that generates Hydrogen-Oxygen gas (HHO or Brown's Gas) and cools down the engine. Let's get familiar with its parts:


I'm not going to get into all the technical details. They are all in my books: where to find the parts for cheap, how to put them together, how to install, how to troubleshoot and maintain, etc. What I want to tell you is that there is no other Electrolyzer in existence today that can be made totally by hand from very low cost materials.

It's the genius of Bill Lang from Gulf Laboratories, Florida, that developed it; it was his work to raise the basic design from the dead and adapt it to modern hardware. I made small improvements here and there, but my main contribution was to document the exact sources, steps and procedures - so now everybody in the world can have it too.


Does it really work? Show me!

Water4Gas is very simple. You don't change your engine or computer. A quart-size (95O cc) container is placed somewhere under the hood. You fill it with DISTILLED WATER and a little bit of BAKING SODA. The device gets vacuum and electricity (12 Volts) from the engine, and produces HHO gas (Hydrogen+Oxygen) as shown in the video below.

The HHO gas that you see being generated, is supplied to the engine's intake manifold or carburetor. Our design is simple, effective and safe. Don't worry if it sounds complicated or you have questions, because you will get full instructions and diagrams that make it simple and clear.

Why is this better?

  1. Simplest possible design.
  2. The wire design is not only SIMPLE, it also produces more HHO for less electrical current. Why? Because the coil (spiral) creates a magnetic vortex (rotating magnetic field) that helps split the water.
  3. Can be done by anyone with basic technical skills.
  4. No need for expensive tools or a large workshop, can be assembled on a little table with a pair of pliers.
  5. Low cost to build, low maintenance costs.
  6. Easy to install in the vehicle.
  7. Designed to be easily chained to a multi-cell (several Electrolyzers hooked together for much better efficiency). This feature is gaining great popularity around the world, see below pictures from the UK (4 Electrolyzers) and the USA (6 Electrolyzers on a big semi truck):

  8. The only design that is both commercial, meaning that it is mass produced by many for making a living, as well as open-source and public domain so YOU can do do it too without paying any fees to anybody. For the first time, a successful Hydrogen-On-Demand design that is by the people - for the people. More on that in Day 7 of this course!

Is it dangerous?

Very dangerous - but only if you do stupid things! Hydrogen, any system using hydrogen as fuel, is not a toy! I've had people trying to ignite the hydrogen for fun...oh boy!!! They just wanted to see if it would ignite... Of course it will, dummies! Hydrogen ignites if you put a match to it, and then its flame runs at 3.5 Mach! Nothing you want chasing after you, man.

Throughout the books I have placed more than enough precaution notes, for every area that may harm you or damage the vehicle. Even when it came to toxic glues, I placed prominent warnings that you just cannot miss.

That said, Hydrogen-On-Demand technology is NOT more dangerous than the usual automotive technologies involving fuel, cooling, etc. For instance we all know that the radiator is essential to cool down the engine, and without it the car will go up in smoke. However if you open the radiator cap when hot, you're going to get hurt, is that right? The danger is not in the radiator, the danger is in ignorance and carelessness. There are safety rules and they are quite simple, but you have to know them and apply them.

If you follow the rules AS I HAVE WRITTEN THEM FOR YOU, you should not be harmed. I demonstrate my system to people almost every day and it is totally safe because I follow the rules. I never had a fire, explosion or meltdown. Follow my footsteps for maximum safety!

Let me give you a real example: in the installation chapter you will see that you MUST keep the output hose at least 4 feet long, to prevent fire hazard. Don't cut it short even if the device is closer than 4 ft. Maybe this "wastes" a dollar or two, but saves a lot of trouble! Every such precaution is highlighted in the book so you cannot miss them.

Bottom line: Hydrogen-On-Demand means that we are not storing Hydrogen! In normal operation we're using all the Hydrogen that we're producing, immediately. There is no Hydrogen storage tank to explode in case of an accident. MUCH SAFER THAN HYDROGEN CARS OR PROPANE/NATURAL GAS VEHICLES in my humble opinion.

But isn't it dangerous to use glass jars?

No danger that I know of. I have never seen any of the glass jars crack or break. One Friday afternoon I was cleaning my 6 jars from the Toyota. All 6 jars were already cleaned thus almost invisible, standing in line at the curb. My neighbor didn't see them and backed her car right on top of them. They were thrown to the road with great noise. I thought to myself: "Now THIS is damage!"

But when I picked the jars up from under her wheels, none of them was cracked, chipped or damaged in any way! Not a scratch!

However if you are concerned about using glass, a VERY durable plastic substitute is provided in the book. Not a cookie jar or any other food container - do not use cheap plastic containers because I have seen them melt in less than 10 minutes of operation.
