Hydrogen Hybrid

Archive for the ‘Hydrogen Plans’ Category

Before commencing reading, first it is important to understand that for any person who is inexperienced in experimenting with this technology, hydroxy is potentially VERY dangerous to YOU. Hydroxy is a highly explosive gas, it certainly isn’t for people who like to blow up balloons, and it certainly is not for the beginner.

It commands RESPECT and caution. Permanent ear damage is possible from the ignition of the gas from balloons. Explosions and a harmful shock wave can also result from unintentional combustion. Those who do not handle with care are posing a SERIOUS health risk to them self’s and others.

If you cannot go along with this, then you are CERTAIN to in danger yourself and others. We must therefore state an obvious warning and disclaimer. If you are a beginner, PLEASE seek technical advice from professionals; do not experiment with it by yourself. Hydroxy gas may be dangerous to the inexperienced and to those who do not handle with care; however, hydroxy technology is manageable for safe operation. Stick to the EXACT guide lines listed and damage is preventable.

Change these rules in ANY way, and you may not be back to read how to do it properly the next time. Please read the disclaimer before commencing any projects on the Hydrogern Hybrid.

Praveen Varma is the inventor of a critically needed OPEN SOURCE fuel saving hydroxy booster. Praveen has done this open source research and development in order to advance education and reduce emissions. Praveen also intends to do further open source research  and is committed to bringing practical low cost open source water fuel cell technologies to the public.

Praveen is also providing the public service of making kits available for those who cannot build boosters for their cars, trucks or motorcycles.

The Karma booster and other designs which Praveen works on consists of a container of distilled water with a conductive additive. When an electric current is passed through the water it produces a gas mix commonly referred to as hydroxy. This hydroxy mix improves the quality of the burn inside the combustion chamber while reducing hydrocarbons and CO2 coming out of the exhaust.

 Praveens boosters are solid stainless steel making them robust and heat proof. Note only this, but tests are conducted to measure the gas output where the cell temperature is taken into account. This is important as steam can be produced and give a false indication of the cell’s gass out put.

The above cell was tested to show the Water temperature with 4 hours of continuous operation.After 4 hours the cell was 65 Deg centigrade from starting a point of 32 Deg centigrade. Typical mileage gain results have been averaging around 20+% using these designs.

Praveen’s boosters are compact, simple to construct and very efficient. Praveen is currently offering these units for sale and intends to use the revenue raised to do further research and development. 

These concepts have been in existence for a very long time since 1918!. Praveen has kept these units at LOW cost - Please use the email link above to order direct, if any problems please email us.

Praveen is also involved in other clean energy research and development and intends to disclose his results open source for all faculties and the public to benefit.

Despite Praveen having a working available device and R and D potential, the device has no faculty recognition or support.Praveen requ

Praveen’s contributions need a grant backed research and development environment to flourish and will be submitted into faculty study and support in the proposed granted Panacea research and development center. 

These systems can be developed further to allow for a pure clean stand alone water fuel energy system. Praveen is unable to finance all of the research himself like the rest of the registered technologies presented.

Petrol-hydrogen hybrid
Rather than using fuel-cells to power an electric motor, the Scorpion from Ronn Motor Company would have an internal combustion engine burning both petrol and hydrogen, achieving 40 miles per gallon (about 5.9L/100km) on the highway.  Reference

Unlike a hydrogen fuel-cell car, the Scorpion’s “hydrogen on demand” system wouldn’t require a high-pressure hydrogen storage tank. Nor would a driver need to find and fill up at a hydrogen filling station.

Instead, electricity from the Scorpion’s alternator sends an electric charge through the water in a storage tank, fracturing molecules and releasing hydrogen, which is injected into the motor, explained Ronn Maxwell, CEO of Ronn Motors in Horseshoe Bay, Texas.

“This means that as we’re driving down the road, we’re producing hydrogen in real time, and blending it with gasoline at a ratio of 30 to 40 per cent,” he said.

This approach CAN be implimented NOW for EVERY car and not limited to expensive sports cars.

For those of you who commute for less than 2 hours a day, heating from a generic booster design such as the original “Smacks” booster Gen I and Gen II design is not an issue. If you’re using such a booster always check your electrolyte and temperature every 1 hour of driving.

For those that drive longer than two hours, a 6 or 7 series flat plate cell or an all stainless steel tubular design (profiled below) will have no heating issues. Praveen’s and Wouer’s cells have so far proven the most reliable as they are all made out of solid stainless steel. Or you can try The BB Smack which is designed handle over two hours of driving; more details are included in the booster design section.

There are many benefits of using hydrogen as a fuel, compared to conventional fuel options.

1) Hydrogen is incredibly inexpensive. They is an unlimited quantity waiting to be harvested and used. Fossil fuels are a finite resource, which one day will be completely depleted. Hydrogen is a renewable fuel source.

2) Hydrogen is extremely clean fuel. When hydrogen fuels an engine, there is no carbon dioxide, the only by-product is crystal clear water.

3) Hydrogen is safer to burn than any existing fuel source currently being used. We are all much more conscience of the environment and how we can protect it. In the USA, California has laws requiring clean-burning cars, and hydrogen would fulfill this legal mandate. Because hydrogen is produced “on demand” and not stored,it is safer to use.

4) Hydrogen is more affordable than fossil fuels. Hydrogen can be produced with either solar or wind power, both of which cost consumers nothing.

5) Hydrogen creates more energy per pound than any other conventional fuel. Hydrogen is two to three times more energy efficient than petrol, disiel or gas in vechiles.

A vast amount of research is currently being done into providing a cleaner, safer, renewable source of unlimited fuel termed “the hydrogen economy.” This is the potential future where consumers become dependant on hydrogen as the primary fuel source.

If that day comes, we will save us money and protect our environment.

Why Hydrogen is a safe fuel?
The main reason is that hydrogen ir rarely found in its ionic, free floating state. Hydrogen always bonds with itself or other gases around it when it is free floating. The systems discussed are based on using hydrogen using “on-demand” application. It is not stored for later use.

Pure hydrogen cars require extensive, and expensive engine modifications. Converting from petrol/gas only needs minor adjustments and can be removed in a matter of minutes.

Facts: Bench Tests by Wouter have shown that the Waterfuelforall 6 series tubular cell generates 2lpm @ 20A, 13.8VDC without overheating.

If the voltage differentials between cells were that much of an issue as is being portrayed by some, then how is it possible for the tubular cell to achieve such good efficiency figures without overheating!?
Note that the following figures are achieved with constant spacing between the tubes:

2lpm x 60 = 120lph
13.8V x 20A = 276Watt
276/120 = 2.3 W/lph

According to Faraday predictions, it should require 2.36 W/LPH of hydroxy gas production, when gas volume is measured at STP. At room temperature this figure changes to 2.16W/LPH. So the tubular 6 series cell performance converts to 93.9% Faraday efficiency. It is not claimed that the voltage differentials have no effect. What is being emphasized is that one can see by these results that the effect clearly has a minor impact on the overall performance of the tubular design.

In this regard one must remember that the voltage is the driving force behind the current. While the inner tubes does have a smaller total area, one does need a little bit more voltage to push through the same amount of current as with larger tubes, and this is exactly the case in a tubular cell, where the voltage differential between the inner tubes is slightly higher than between the outer tubes.

What people do not realize, is that if one was really that concerned about the voltage differential between the tubes, then you could simply have a larger space between the outer tubes and a smaller space between the inner tubes, and then the voltage differentials will be closer to equal everywhere.

E.g. instead of having equal spacing cells 1″,1,5″,2″,2,5″,3″,3,5″,4″, you could have 1″, 1.25″, 1.5″, 2″, 2,5″, 3″, 4″. Wouter has done a LOT of real-time testing in this regard and feels that it is unnecessary to complicate things. But this is merely to show that one could easily address the concern if it was really necessary. In this regard t as long as one makes sure that the surface area of the smallest tube is large enough, you will have NO problems!

An example: As a rule of thumb I aim for max 0.15A per square centimeter, because Wouter uses proper 316 grade tubes. (If you are using a stainless steel of a lesser quality I would not recommend going higher than 0.1A per square centimeter) So the length of the tubes will be determined by the maximum amount of amps that you want to run your cell at. Obviously the inner tube will have the least area and thus you will be basing your calculations on the inner tube’s area, e.g. if you plan to run your cell at max 25 A and we only want max 0.15A/cm2, that imply we need a minimum electrode plate area of 167 cm2 for each tube.

The area of the inner tube is calculated as pi*Diameter*height. So for a 1″ inner tube the required Height = 167/(3.14×2.5) = 21.3 cm This will be the length of all the inner tubes and obviously the outer tube will be slightly longer.

Note that if we were trying to achieve resonance, then uneven voltage differentials between cells will have a greater effect and in such instance, Wouter does recommend people to go for a square plate series cell design. But since we are merely performing brute force electrolysis, it is not so much of an issue and we can take advantage of the benefits offered by a tubular design.

One of the biggest advantages of the tubular design compared to the sandwiched series cell design is the fact that the sandwiched series cell can be prone to leaking of water and hydrogen.

Wouter reports that after the 6 series cell design has been conditioned, the gas production has increased to +-3 liters per minute @ 30 amps. The 6 series tubular design stabilizes at +-1 liter per minute gas for every 10 amps consumed, once the cell has been run in properly.

For a concentration of 6 teaspoons (30ml) of lye to 1 liter of water (distilled recommended), the typical temperatures and amp flow for the 6 series cell is:

Amp             flow        Temperature         Gas production

Start             5A           Cold                       0.5 lpm
10 min        7.5A                                       0.75lpm
1/2 hour    10A                                         1.0 lpm
1 hour        12A           40 deg                C 1.2 lpm
1 1/2 hour 15A            50 deg               C 1.5 lpm
2 hours      16A            58 deg               C 1.6 lpm
3 hours      17A            65 deg               C 1.7 lpm
4 hours      18A           73 deg                C 1.8 lpm
5 hours      18A           74 deg                C 1.8 lpm
6 hours      18A           75 deg                C 1.8 lpm
7 hours      18A           74 deg                C 1.8 lpm
8 hours      18A           73 deg                C 1.8 lpm

One can see that after 4 hours of continuous operation, the temperature stabilizes at +-74 degrees Celsius which is ideal! Should the electrolyzer be used as a booster, then airflow will have a cooling effect on the cell and the booster should stabilize at a lower temperature.

The above figures is for a unit built from 7 tubes with diameters 4″ / 3.5″ / 3″ / 2.5″ / 2″ / 1.5″ / 1″ and at least 20cm in length, measured with a water temperature not exceeding 75 degrees Celsius. Since gas production is directly related to the amount of amps, it follows that the formula for the expected gas production (once the cell has been run in) = 1 lpm for every 10A, 13.8V = 1 lpm hydroxy gas for every 138Watt.

Not only does this technology Improve MPG | LPK (Miles Per Gallon | Litres Per Kilometre), SIGNIFICANTLY CUT EMMISSIONS down to a healthier level plus allow many more benefits. This technology also opens the door scientifically for 100% water based oxyhydrogen fuel systems for vehicles. This is an obvious threat to the multi trillion dollar OIL industry. Hydroxy technology has even shown to be effective at reduction of radioactivity.

Hydroxy technologies also show that hydrogen power can be stored safely by being perfectly inert in water. As a result, hydrogen can be produced on DEMAND from water. This eliminates the need for dangerous hydrogen storage tanks on board cars and in any communities wishing to use hydrogen for power.

Quote - ” Hydrogen-on-demand does not need costly infrastructure and makes cars safer ” Hydrogen-on-demand would not only remove the need for costly hydrogen pipelines and distribution infrastructure, it would also make hydrogen vehicles safer. “The theoretical advantage of on-board generation is that you don’t have to muck about with hydrogen storage,” says Mike Millikin, who monitors developments in alternative fuels for the Green Car Congress website. A car that doesn’t need to carry tanks of flammable, volatile liquid or compressed gas would be much less vulnerable in an accident. “It also potentially offsets the requirements for building up a massive hydrogen production and distribution infrastructure,” Millikin says-End quote Mike Millikin.

Quote- Hydrogen-on-demand, whether from water or another source, could address two of the big problems still holding back the wider use of hydrogen as a vehicle fuel: how to store the flammable gas, and how to transport it safely. Today’s hydrogen-fuelled cars rely on stocks of gas produced in centralized plants and distributed via refueling stations in either liquefied or compressed form. Neither is ideal. The liquefaction process eats up to 40 per cent of the energy content of the stored hydrogen, while the energy density of the gas, even when compressed, is so low it is hard to see how it can ever be used to fuel a normal car.-End quote New scientist magazine.

Run your car on water is a technology which helps car owners spend a lot less on fuel by adapting the water fuel technology. They actually sell a Do-it-yourself guide geared towards helping you set up your own car and run it on water. This is done by harnessing the electricity in your battery to split the water molecules and thus cause your car to run on hydrogen. This does not mean that you would have to completely ignore gasoline. It just means that your car will run side by side with both gasoline and HHO (hydrogen), also referred to as brown gas.

With this introduction, you should be able to decipher what the benefits of using water as fuel is. The first benefit is the amount of money you would save on gas. Some people have reportedly saved as much as $200 on gas within a month of using the device. Other benefits of using this is reduced carbon dioxide emissions, saving time as you do not always have to queue for fuel at filling stations, can be used on any of the different car types, trucks,
