Why HHO ? |

Up until 1982, we had carbureted and fuel injected
engines and gasoline was cheap. It was around this time that Electronic
Fuel Injection started appearing as factory equipped options available
on some cars and trucks. Unlike carbureted engines, Electronic Fuel
Injection had to be controlled by a computer. The new technology became
very popular, very fast. Electronic Fuel Injection relied on high
pressure fuel pumps to provide a finer fuel vapor spray, which increased
engine response. Not only was it easier to start a fuel injection
engine, it was safer; the possibility of backfires were drastically
decreased. The new injections system let us get more
economy out of a gallon of gasoline. The reason, the finer fuel vapor
spray. Well, big oil just could not have that, so in 1987 they had
computer controlled sensors forced on us by the EPA. Sensors that kept
us from changing our Air to Fuel Ratio.
Gasoline is a hydrocarbon. It needs oxygen in order to
burn with a flame. It is the air that provides the oxygen; about 20% by
volume. |

Poorer air/fuel distribution affects emissions, efficiency, and power,
in that order. |
| |
|
|
Increased
airflow is needed to burn more fuel, which in turn releases more energy
and produces more power. The combustion process converts the fuel's
chemical energy into heat energy, whether the fuel is supplied by fuel
injectors or a carburetor. So anything you do to help your engine breath
better will improve fuel efficiency. Use better air filters; such as
K&N. Use add on Electric Turbo Fans to force more air into the engine. |

An engine's air/fuel ratio must be precisely controlled
under all operating conditions to achieve the desired engine
performance, emissions, drive-ability, and fuel economy. Modern
electronic fuel-injection systems meter fuel very accurately, and use closed
loop fuel-injection
quantity-control based on a variety of feedback signals from an oxygen
sensor, a mass airflow (MAF) or manifold
absolute pressure (MAP) sensor,
a throttle position (TPS),
and at least one sensor on the crankshaft and/or
cam shaft(s) to monitor the engine's rotational position.
Fuel injection systems can react rapidly to changing inputs such as
sudden throttle movements,
and control the amount of fuel injected to match the engine's dynamic
needs across a wide range of operating conditions such as engine load,
ambient air temperature, engine temperature, fuel octane level, and
atmospheric pressure. |

So Why HHO |
| |
|
| Our air quality is not improving. Oxygen content, in
many areas, is not what it used to be. On top of that, computer
controlled emissions systems limit the air to fuel mixture in order to
maintain a slightly rich mixture instead of slightly lean mixture. This
causes excess fuel in the exhaust system. To overcome this, we were
forced to use expensive Catalytic converter to burn the excess fuel
vapors --- outside of the combustion chambers; Assanine. So why HHO?
Adding pure oxygen to the air being sucked in by the engine increases
the oxygen content of that air. Thus, more of the fuel vapor gets burned
inside of the engine, where it is supposed to get burned; which means we
do not need to buy as much gasoline. Adding oxygen also reduces
pollution to the air; less CO2, less Carbon Monoxide, less NoX; no need
for a Catalytic converter. The EPA says, "well we can not have that".
"Our government would loose to much Tax money". So they make the
computers smart enough to keep the air fuel ratio at 14.5 parts air to
one part fuel.

| Fuel
is saved while the car is coasting because the car's movement is helping
to keep the engine rotating, so less fuel is used for this purpose.
Control units on modern cars react to this and reduce or stop fuel flow
to the engine reducing wear on the brakes |
