All of us are concerned with the high price of fuel today. In addition, the fuel emissions and carbon footprint of a vehicle is enormous. What if you could get your fuel from a common source and possibly double your gas mileage. For less than it costs to fill your SUV, you can build a DIY hydrogen generator.

While there has been much work in the are of hybrid technology in the past few years, most of the research has focused on storing extra energy in batteries. We are still unsure of the length of time those batteries will last and know that the will be very expensive to replace. Instead of using batteries, the DIY hydrogen generator stores energy as hydrogen and hydrogen oxide gasses.

Hydrogen and hydrogen oxide are unstable gasses. Because of the chemical instability, they long to be converted back into water. By mixing into gasoline and burning in a regular internal combustion engine, they are converted to water. The only change you will see in exhaust gasses will be more water vapor, which is harmless. Because of increased fuel efficiency, there will be fewer noxious gases spewed into the atmosphere. These two gases alone are not able to be generated in significant quantities to run you vehicle alone, but if mixed with gasoline can increase you mileage by a factor of two.

There are many DIY hydrogen generator kits available on the internet. You can also find and print out your own instructions to build the hydrogen generator. Most parts are available at your local hardware store and include such items as wide mouth canning jars, plastic jar lid (read mayonnaise lid), vacuum tubing and other simple parts. All told, you will spend less than sixty-five dollars to build the DIY hydrogen generator.

There are many reasons to build a DIY hydrogen generator for your vehicle. The first is to save money. Fuel prices continue to grow, but imagine cutting those costs in half. Even if gasoline climbs back to the 4 dollar price tag, by using only half the amount in your current vehicle, it would be like paying two dollars per gallon.

In addition a DIY hydrogen generator is good for our environment. Your vehicle will suddenly become more efficient in burning the gasoline it uses with fewer emissions. Think of the clean air we could leave for our grandchildren with this technology.

Finally a DIY hydrogen generator will cause your vehicle to last longer. Engines that burn hydrogen gasoline mixtures last longer than those that burn gasoline alone.
