Hydrogen Generators for Cars and Trucks

Hydrogen generators for cars and trucks are becoming increasingly popular. And, why not, since these units can increase gas mileage, increase engine performance and decrease emissions all at the same time.

Hydrogen generators for cars and trucks are sometimes called hydrogen boosting technology or hydrogen injection or even hydrogen additive technology.

But, no matter what you can it, they all work in a similar fashion.

The idea behind onboard hydrogen generators for cars and trucks is that they use electricity provided by the car to electrolyze a small amount of water and inject the resulting hydrogen and oxygen gases into the vehicle's intake system. The hydrogen and oxygen displace some of the fossil fuels in the cylinders, help the gasoline or diesel fuel to burn more efficiently, increase power and decrease pollutants coming out the tailpipe.

Below is a list of some of the more popular hydrogen generator kits and DIY systems that are currently on the market.

Hydrogen Generator Kits for Cars and Light Trucks

Punch HHO - offers two different HHO generator kits plus an advnaced EFIE to realize maximum gains and gas mileage savings.

HHOtek offers highly durable, high output hydrogen generators for cars and trucks that are design no to overheat and provide maximum output and gasoline savings.

Hydrogen Boost is a complete system including hose, wiring kit, electronic control circuit and manuals. Sells for between $1,000 - $4,000 depending upon type of vehicle.

Hydro Assist Fuel Cell is actually made up of three components that help to achieve high fuel efficiency from any car. The three components are an hydrogen fuel cell (generator), an vaporizer and an optimizer. Prices are not published, so you have to request a quote.

Green Future Technology offers a hydrogen generator kit for gasoline and diesel powered cars and trucks. Prices start at $1,095.

Hydrorunner G3 - manufactured by the owners of Check Engine Service Center, this device can be installed and serviced by this company for those in the Tampa, Florida area. The price is between $3,500 and $10,000 depending upon type of vehicle.

National Vapor Industries - offers several different types of units and currently has an application pending with the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

HydroLectricPower - hydrogen only device (not HHO) that is approved by CARB for reducing tailpipe emissions and is said to significantly increase gas mileage.

Hydrogen DIY Plans

Gas 4 Free offers a comprehensive a well laid out set of plans to use water as supplemental fuel to increase mileage and lower emissions in any model and year of car or light truck. This set of hydrogen generator plans costs a little more than the others but is well worth it as it is well thought out, well laid out and a cut above the rest.

Water 4 Gas is an inexpensive do-it-yourself set of project plans for those with mild to moderate mechanical ability. Two books will show car owners how to electrolyze water, and inject the HHO gases to increase gas mileage and decrease emissions. The downside if the Mason Jar and the recommended baking soda electrolyzer when others recommend KOH or NaOH as being more effective.

Fuel Trips offers plans to let consumers easily convert their cars to use water as an additive to any internal combustion engine. One trip to the hardware store is all it takes.

Drive with Water Fuel - Geared towards novices who barely know how to tinker with an automobile, this step-by-step guide is short and to the point.

Smack's Booster is a DIY system that shows garage inventors how to build the electrolysis unit step-by-step.

Hydrogen Generator Kits for Light Trucks Only

Get Hydro Power is a system for light trucks that mounts in the toolbox or bed of the vehicle. The systems start at $2,095 and go up to $11,490.

Hydrogen Generator Kits for Large Trucks

Mileage Maker is a system for large diesel trucks to increase performance and gas mileage while decreasing emissions. Will increase gas mileage 20 to 30-percent depending upon driving habits. Prices start at $299. Don't be fooled by this butt-ugly website, this product does indeed work.

Hydro Power Pak is a retrofit system for semi-tractor trailer rigs that will electrolyze water and inject hydrogen and oxygen into the intake manifold. This will increase engine performance and decrease emissions.

Hy-Drive - hydrogen generation system (HGS) for the mining and trucking industry.

Canadian Hydrogen Energy Company - Offers hydrogen fuel injection (HFI) technology for class 7 and 8 diesel trucks.
