The HHOmbre improves the performance of HHO Generators. What are HHO Generators?
A popular after-market fuel economy product on the market today is the HHO Generator; also called the Brown’s Gas Generator, or Hydrogen Generator. This basic and proven technology has made its way into the public domain, and many small companies have their own versions.
The HHO generator electrolyzes distilled water into special hydrogenoxygen molecules known as “Brown’s Gas”. It uses an electrolyte and the vehicle’s battery to free the hydrogen and oxygen.
The hydrogen and oxygen become part of the combustible charge through the air intake.
The hydrogen increases the burn rate of the fuel, causing it to combust more thoroughly.
The oxygen causes the fuel to burn hotter (kind of like stoking a camp fire).
The fuel is thereby burned more efficiently and completely, which results in increased power and /or increased MPG.
Why the HHOmbre? (Reason 1)
There are several reasons why these HHO generators haven’t become more popular.
- Typical commercial units are installed in the vehicle and wired “brute force”, which means at full output anytime the engine is running. Testing has shown that at idle, there is too much HHO gas for the engine, and at heavier loads there is too little.
- By varying the output of the HHO Generator (based on load and throttle angle), with little production at idle and brute force at heavy throttle, the engine and vehicle’s ECM are able to deliver better performance and economy from the system.
- Our HHO Generator Controller, the HHOmbre, does just that. Ecoceptor’s testing of the HHOmbre shows typical 10% to 30% increases over the brute force method, with less deterioration of the cell, and fewer water fill-ups.
Why the HHOmbre? (Reason 2)
Drivers have a natural tendency to forget to refill the water reservoir. When the water level gets too low, the HHO fuel cell gets “cooked” or gunked up by the crystallized electrolyte. It must be removed from the vehicle, disassembled and thoroughly cleaned, and a new electrolyte charge added. This is costly, labor-intensive and frustrating for the driver.
- The HHOmbre monitors the water level, and alerts the driver via an amber LED and a red LED.
- If the amber LED is on, it is time to add water.
- If the driver ignores the amber LED, a lower water level will trigger the red LED, and the HHOmbre will shut off the HHO generator to prevent damage to the fuel cell.
