I think you miss the difference between H2 and HHO
Er no. If you split water into it's component gasses with electrolysis you end up with a 2 Hydrogen molecules and 1 Oxygen molecule. HHO as a name is simply based on the molecular count of Hydrogen X 2 =HH and Oxygen X 1 = O, putting them together gives HHO. I don't know why it's called brown gas as it'll be clear and highly explosive. Unless the explosion gives anybody near by brown trousers.
HHO is used on demand and not stored.
How is it metered if used on demand? If it's added for economy, then surely it needs to be used most of the time.
Not saying H2 is not explosive.
Good, because it is highly explosive.
Filling a cup (upside down) with lighter gas and set it alight, see who jumps.
Lighter gas less than a 3rd of the energy that Hydrogen gas has when burned in air. Adding O to HH, the cap will explode, not just go poof.
Hydrogen explodes violently, it doesn't just burn.
So why would an exhaust producing water not be good?
I'm not talking about extra water from the exhaust. Water is already a by-product of normal engine combustion. You'll see it on a cold morning, before the exhaust system has heated up. It's a simple chemical reaction between a complex mix of Hydrocarbon molecules (petrol, diesel or LPG), and air (mostly Nitrogen, Oxygen with some lesser gasses).
Petrol molecule is made up as such: C8H18 (or 8 Carbon atoms and 18 Hydrogen atoms) Energy is obtained from the combustion of it by the conversion of this hydrocarbon to carbon dioxide and water. The combustion of process follows this reaction: 2 C8H18 + 25 O2 → 16 CO2 + 18 H2O Or better said, you have two of the hydrocarbon molecules along with 25 oxygen atoms, they swirl together into a mix, the spark plug ignites them, and out the exhaust comes 16 carbon dioxide molecules and 18 water molecules.
So providing the engine is running correctly more water molecules come out the exhaust than carbon molecules.
We all know a car running LPG will sail through any MOT standard why is that?
LPG and HHO are two very different things. If an engine only passes the MOT when running on LPG, then it's running badly and needs fixing correctly.
So why would an exhaust producing water not be good?
It's irrelevant. There's already huge amounts of water in exhaust gasses from burning a Hydrocarbon fuel in air.
But then it only goes bang when you tell it.
Does it? A vehicle engine has to ignite the fuel in the chamber before the power is needed, as the flame burns slowly. This pre-ignition is call ignition advance, and has to be there, or the energy runs inefficiently and very hot, especially the exhaust side of the engine.
Adding H2 + O to the mixture will reduce the need for ignition advance, so how is this overcome if destructive detonation is to be avoided?
It also burns bad stuff that our petrol/diesel setups miss, hence emission standards
A correctly running engine shouldn't have any undue build up of deposits and should burn cleanly anyway. If it's not, then it needs fixing.
What happens when you switch to LPG? Does it not switch to another ECU and alter things?
It has to do some modification to the combustion cycle, but it's irrelevant as HHO isn't LPG, not even close.
Let’s not get onto N2O then, ah but that’s breathable so why pump it in an engine to make it faster more power it’s not fuel, is it?
N2O is an oxidizer. It's added to an engine as a sort of chemical turbocharger. If N2O is being used, then extra fuel is needed at the same time, or no power is gained, and the engine melts pistons. Even when extra fuel is added, the pistons often melt.
Again it's irrelevant here, as were discussing HHO, not the properties of Nitrous Oxide.
We also run Natural Gas in cars, is Hydrogen/HHO not an extension of this
Natural gas a complex molecular string, just like LPG, petrol or diesel.
This molecular string is made up of Hydrogen and Carbon molecules. Not simply pure Hydrogen with Oxygen.
I take it you don’t believe the Mazda video then
Didn't see the video. Sorry.
hho generators are bull***
That's my opinion.
