Does anyone know anything about fuel cell conversion kits hydrogen? Do they work? Is this a scam? People are selling these kits online. Is this for real? Why does not everyone do that? Where's the catch here?
They work, they simply do not put out enough hydrogen to affect the engine efficiency or mileage. To be effective, would require a generator that would put more watts (power) the engine of your car (impossible), which explains why hydrogen as fuel engine is a basic loser .... it costs more energy to produce than it provides when burned, notwithstanding own.
"There is an energy in the water. Chemically, it is locked in the atomic bonds between atoms of hydrogen and oxygen. When hydrogen and oxygen combine, either in a fuel cell, internal combustion engine fueled with hydrogen, or a pickup truck with a fortune of an electrolytic cell in the bed, there is energy left in the form of heat or electrons. is converted mechanical energy by the pistons and the crankshaft or electric motors to move the vehicle.
Problem: It happens exactly the same amount of energy to cause the atoms of hydrogen and oxygen apart inside the electrolysis cell you back when they recombine inside the fuel cell . The laws of thermodynamics have not changed, despite all the hype you read on some blog or news aggregator. Subtract the loss of heat in the engine and alternator and electrolysis cell, and you lose energy, not to win period. "
Hydrogen technology has nothing to do with violating the laws of physics or the perpetual motion all your do is light a fuel and turning that energy in the same manner as gasoline. The difference is you consume more energy from your alternator and battery to extract hydrogen and oxygen from the water. If you want to know if it works before trying the oil companies and governments to ban car customization, the problem with hydrogen combustion is he makes too much nitrous oxide, which is supposedly the fourth greenhouse gas more great, it's not as bad as CO2 but we still need to find better ways to solve the pollution problems of the worlds energy / and time is not on our side ... Just thought if you had a second battery rigged up that you have loaded with water, wind, solar etc. when not using the car. and an additional alternator thats dedicated to the electrolytic cell that could provide enough additional energy to make a difference to the economy, how much energy would it take? What is the calculation? it must be worth a try for such a small price. Safety first when hydrogen is supposed to be 4 times more flammable than gasoline!
Any package about Brown's Gas or HHO or running your car on water is a scam. You can not violate the laws of physics.
the catch is, they do not work.
