Question Hho

Anybody ever heard of HHO gas systems, if so do they work??

If I remember when studing physics 1st law of thermodynamics States that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only converted from one form to another.

There seems to be loads of kits for doing it on the net.

Getting more energy out of something than putting in is a perpetual motion machine. No such thing.

As far as I can see - none are offering to make fuel for free, they are offering to provide fuel from water. There is a 'cost' to provide the 'H' required for the engine, and they 'fudge' the cost of this.

Basically they are splitting water into hydrogen and 'waste' oxygen. The fuel hydrogen then runs the engine.

The science works.

The cost of splitting the water at home is not efficient if you are using mains electricity, but if you are using 'free' sun energy, then the cost of the fuel is free....
