Driven By Water - Building, Installing and Troubleshooting Your Hydrogen Generator

The Impossibe 1994 Lincoln Town Car Project?

2008-11-25T15:18:00.000-08:00

I was so excited to receive my Dual Edge MAP Sensor Enhancer and plastic housing two weeks ago. I quickly assembled the MAPSE and made the plastic housing to fit my stainless steel coil electrode - only to find that I do not have any MAP sensor in my car!

LOL!

This project has been much more extensive than I have expected, and the max miles per gallon that I've achieved over the original 14 miles per gallon was 21, and while that helps, it isn't the "triple amount" that I've been looking for.

With no MAP Sensor and no catalytic converter, I can't make the car run lean - in the normal manner. I will need to find the wires that go to the computer, and the wires that go to the upstream O2 sensors, and find out how to make my car run lean that way - a much more extensive process that requires much more time.

I still need to purchase an additional Dual Edge Map Sensor Enhancer to put in my boyfriend's car, his 1999 Ford Escort ZX2, and when the weather becomes less slushy, I will find the Map Sensor and make a video of it for you.

Two Exciting Purchases And New Videos To Come

2008-11-03T19:52:00.000-08:00

I purchased my clear plastic housing for my 1994 Lincoln Towncar and the Dual Edge MAP/MAF Sensor Enhancer today!

That means that within the next week I will be able to post new videos on the preparation of the clear plastic housing to fit the plexiglass and stainless steel electrode, the installation under the hood, and set up the Dual Edge MAP/MAF Sensor Enhancer to get the best possible MPGs.

I am excited to share this information with you so that you can be Driven By Water also, and drive GREEN!

Looking forward to the next blog!

Driven By Water - Turning Your Hydrogen Generator On & Off

2008-11-02T16:40:00.000-08:00

An on and off switch in your car is important to keep your hydrogen generator from continuously running while your car isn't started. You don't want to burn hydrogen when it isn't necessary.

There are two ways that you can turn your generator on and off. One way is with a simple lit switch that lights up when it is switched to the on position. The second way is to set up your switch to your ignition, so that when you start your car your hydrogen generator turns on, and when you turn your car off, your hydrogen generator turns off as well.

Since I already have the lit switch set up in my 1994 Lincoln Towncar, I will walk you through that material list and installation in the following video. Once I install the ignition on/off in my boyfriend's 1999 Ford Escort, I will post that video.

Driven By Water - Dual Edge MAP/MAF Sensor Enhanser

2008-10-29T13:58:00.000-07:00

After properly installing your hydrogen generator, you will notice a dramatic change in your miles per gallon. You will need to drive triple the miles to see your gas needle move at all, and you will feel a sense of euphoria that you probably didn't think existed *laughing*.

One of the things that my mom noticed within a few days of driving was that her durango would suddenly begin to use a tremendous amount of gas without warning, causing her to think that her install was done improperly or that the construction of her hydrogen generator was done wrong. While she was right to go back and check her system, she forgot to add one simple part to her generator system - a Dual Edge MAP/MAF Sensor Enhancer.

When you installed your oxygen extenders, they helped your car to run lean and "trick" your O2 sensors into not pumping so much gas into the system when it senses more oxygen coming in. Even with the oxygen extenders installed, your car will occasionally sense more oxygen coming into the system and tell itself to pump more gas in to compensate for that.

The Dual Edge MAP/MAF Sensor Enhancer is a simple device that you can install yourself if you're comfortable with working with vehicle electronics, or you can take it to a mechanic to set up. It helps your car to omit that false signal that causes your vehicle to pump in extra gas when it isn't needed.

This website explains what is going on to give you a better understanding of what the Dual Edge MAP/MAF Sensor Enhancer does and why you need it:

Driven By Water - Water/Baking Soda Solution & Finding a Place For Your Generator in Your Car

2008-10-19T18:24:00.000-07:00

Because you're using distilled water in your housing, you will need to add something to the water to conduct electricity - that would be the baking soda!

You're only adding 1 teaspoon of baking soda to a gallon of distilled water. Shake it up really good and you're ready to go!

This video will give you all of the details to making the solution as well as provide tips on how to keep your stainless steel wire from corroding and how to keep your water solution from freezing in the winter. You will also need to decide on an ideal place to put your hydrogen generator under the hood, and this video will help you with that also.

Although you are selecting a place to put your hydrogen generator in your car at this point, you should not install it until you have attached the oxygen extenders to your O2 sensors in your car. This is important to keep your sensor from over-pumping gasoline into your car because of the changes in oxygen. Revisit the first video before installing your hydrogen generator.

Driven By Water - Building Your Stainless Steel Wire/ Plexiglas Electrode

2008-10-18T13:20:00.000-07:00

I'm assuming that the choice you made for your housing is the glass canning jar, and will discuss building your electrode from stainless steel and plexiglas.

I will be buying a plastic water filter container and will show you how to turn that into your housing for your hydrogen generator in a later video, so stay tuned if that was the housing you chose.

I chose the stainless steel wire and plexiglas to build my electrode because I learned that it produces triple the amount of hydrogen that the stainless steel tubing, stainless steel pipe or stainless steel plate electrodes produce, it is very easy to assemble and is much more cost efficient.

Watch the following video for those instructions:

Driven By Water - Prepping Your Car & Assembling Your Housing Cap

Now that I've peaked your interest in HHO Gas by showing you why you need it and where it came from, you're ready to begin prepping your car to hold its own hydrogen generator.

As I've mentioned before, I'm a 29 year old single mother of 3 and my background is mostly in administrative duties - I have no prior background in automotive repair or car systems. However, I put the necessary time and effort into learning how the different parts of my car are effected by installing a Hydrogen Generator under the hood. I can't afford to cause any problems with my vehicle because it's the only one that I have to get around in.

It is best to understand best and worse case scenarios so that if you have a problem with your generator install, you can easily troubleshoot it.

The first step is to install oxygen extenders onto all of your O2 sensors in your car. You have two upstream sensors and 2 downstream sensors and they each need a oxygen extender on them for peak performance. This will making your car run lean on gas to accommodate the tremendous amount of hydrogen that your generator will be pumping into your system.

Did you know that only 25% of the gasoline that you put in your tank at the pump will produce energy that will run your car? That's right. 75% of the gasoline you buy every time you put gas in your car is wasted in excess energy, heat and UNUSED GAS. Hydrogen generators help your car use your gasoline better, so they aren't a substitution for gasoline - it actually turns your car into a water/gas hybrid where your car is running both on hydrogen produced by water, and hydrogen produced by gas.

Driven By Water - What is HHO Gas or Brown's Gas?

2008-10-18T12:33:00.000-07:00

Many people ask me how long the Hydrogen Generator and the HHO Gas/ Brown's Gas technology has been around. You'd be surprise how long people have been using water to run their cars.

This website will give you the full history on HHO Gas and Brown's Gas:

http://www.brownsgas.com/brownsgashistory.html

This link to my website has a video on Dr. Yule Brown and Stanley Meyers, two individuals who developed the Brown's Gas and HHO Gas technologies into the Hydrogen Generators that you see today. http://iamdrivenbywater.com/learnmore.htm

Once you read into the creation of HHO Gas, it will get your elementary science instincts kicking into gear.

I didn't mind the challenge of making my own Hydrogen Generators, so I opted out of purchasing someone else's model to help individuals build their own through Driven By Water.

Once you've begun seriously researching this technology, you will be excited to get started in building your own Hydrogen Generator or installing your Hydrogen Generator Kit.

Driven By Water - I decided to convert cars because...

2008-10-17T07:41:00.000-07:00

Gas has been on an up and down rollercoaster at least for the past 5 years. One thing we know for sure is that we probably won't be seeing .89 gas again.

Some of us have gotten very frustrated spending another car note worth of gas to run our cars each month and have purchased 2 seater vehicles or scooters to to afford those changes. For those of us who support 2 or more children and simply do not have the money to purchase a smaller car for less cargo, we needed a different option.

I'm a single mom of 3 children, and 4 of my 8 siblings have kids. So, outside of work, there are such a tremendous amount of errands and side places that need to be driven to, I couldn't consider a smaller car than my 1994 Lincoln Towncar. With two adults, 8 people can fit in that car lol. It guzzles gas like it's an SUV, so I needed to find a solution to my gas issues.

I started researching ways to add to the miles per gallon to my car about 6 months ago. My mom was talking about bio fuels and considering the purchase of a diesel engine car, and it was just too expensive an idea for me to consider. Diesel engines can run on vegetable oil with an additive put in the gas tank, so if you get vegetable oil from your local diner (they typically have to pay to get rid of it, and will surely give it to you for free) but for my wallet, investing in a diesel engine was too far out of my price range. I didn't have an extra $15,000 - $30,000 laying around to get another car.

One day, I was checking email when an advertisement popped up that says "Learn how to run your car on water." I simply had to check it out.

After viewing that website in disbelief, I went looking on YouTube for examples of people converting their cars into water/gas hybrids. I found several other websites and a minimum of 10 different ways to put together a small device out of mostly household products to slip under the hood of your car.

The device is called a Hydrogen Electrolyzer, also known as Hydrogen Generator, and it is made out of very simple materials. In the videos that follow this blog, I will show you how to make your own, create a switch to turn it off and on, and help you troubleshoot it so that you get the most miles per gallon out of your existing vehicle.

I'm now on my third conversion, my boyfriend's car, so you'll see me systematically convert his 1999 Ford Escort into a water/gas hybrid with ease and grace =D through blog and video.

I'm excited to share this with you, so stay tuned!
