A hydrogen car uses hydrogen as its source of energy. Torque is produced by combustion in an automobile's engine and the burning of hydrogen is basically the same as burning fossil fuel such as gas or diesel to release energy. Because of the price differential between fossil fuel and water, there is a huge potential saving benefit that come with building your own hydrogen-powered car.
Drill two holes into the lid of the container to hold the two metal plates in close proximity to each other but not touching. Drill a third hole at the top of the lid for a PVC fitting.
Fill the glass container with water and a teaspoon of baking soda. The baking soda helps produce the Brown Gas or Hydrogen gas that will be generated during electrolysis.
Screw in both metal plates to the bottom of the lid while also connecting electrical wires beneath each nut on top of the lid as you tighten the plates into place. Submerge the metal plate into the water and baking soda mixture and tightly screw on the lid.
Drill one additional hole into the air intake housing. Be certain the hole is just after your auto's air filter and between the motor's air intake. The HHO gas will be drawn in naturally as part of the normal function of the engine and into the combustion chambers.
Connect one end of the plastic tubing to the PVC joint on the container's lid and the other end to the air intake housing. Seal your connections both on the containers lid and on the air intake tubing with silicone sealant.
Connect the two wires coming from your ignition switch to your battery heads, one to the positive and one to the negative. Retrace your steps to ensure all wiring and rubber tubes are properly connected and sealed.
