I was wandering through myspace videos and found this clip. As far as I can tell this is legit. I am currently looking up HHO gas to find out the chemical difference between it and H2O ( HOH ). If this isn't a hoax, our energy concerns are soon to be extremely eased.

 

I'm no chemist, but what physics I had tells me that 2H atoms and one O atom will bound in exactly one way and one way only to from only one molucule that is available in 3 different states. In fact, I think I need a glass of that right now.

Gut feeling? Hoax or more likely scam, since there is less money hoaxes.

 

well i'm a biochemist. things can bind in more ways than ya think. they just tend to form in one specific way under certain parameters. In normal environments, its in the normal form. but this guy uses some special kind of electrolysis so i'm not sure yet. but i will be looking it up.

 

myth busters did that test on a v-8 powered car 80's some thing MY and the test failed really really bad...

but take out the water and just use the hydrogen alone and the car runs off it then they made a kaboom and it was the end of that test

 

http://hytechapps.com/index.html here is the website for the company in the video....... didn't know if you had seen it or not. Looks pretty plausible to me.

 

chemistry is complicated.

 

wasn't so much a kaboom as in a little backfire and viola streaming flameball out of the hydrogen nozzle..

that was sweet.. it actually worked!

 

the hydrogen part but no the conversion of the water into hydrgen well you saw that show so i don't have to go into great detail

if you want me to put it into greater detail its gonna look like gibberish if i do

 

Not sure what you guys are talking about with the mythbusters thing. didn't see that one. Sounds like it might be different than this though. I did research the design website and apparently its not HHO as in the chemicals. It stands for Hybrid Hydrogen Oxygen system. They still didn't give away the chemical makeup of the gas they use, but its basically electrolysis of water into a special oxygen/hydrogen blend that turns back into water after combusting. Patents are still pending so I have a feeling I won't find out the chemistry behind this until those are sealed deals.

I saw an extended video from their website and it does explain it a little further. So far it totally seems legit.

Update:
Woops. Found a paper on it. Apparently it isn't a combination of oxygen and hydrogen gas... Apparently it is still actually water but with all sorts of crazy anomalies. It isn't symmetric. It's chemical bonds are not valence. It adheres to the inside of the tubing of the instruments they use to run tests on it and clogs the lines. The molecular mass of the HHO is somehow 1 g/mol heavier than water (which makes NO logical sense to me). When you mix gas with diesel fuel it should lower the flashpoint (making it easier to blow up). However with HHO it actually raises the flashpoint.

"our working hypothesis is that the HHO gas is composed of stable clusters of individual H and O atoms, HO dimers and ordinary molecules H2, O2 and H2O all bonded together by attractive forces between opposing polarities in the toroidal polarization of the orbitals of peripheral atomic electrons"

Pure. Insanity.
