Hho Silverado Mod


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi All,

 

The purpose of this thread is to get everyone possible involved in my current project. A little background info before I begin into the heart of this project. I am an A&P (Airframe & Powerplant) (Aircraft Mechanic) holder currently working for American Airlines. Since the recent spike in gasoline prices, I have heard and seen many HHO (Brown Gas, Hydrogen, Water4Gas) conversions. Only one has really caught my eye as being worthy. The "Smacks Booster", myself along with a few other people have taken this simple plan and added many mods to it since its original design. We have also decided to add many electronics due to the complexity of today's automobiles. What we hope to end up with is a easily installed, easily maintained, cost effective, yet efficient unit to market to the general public. We have done and are continuing to do many tests and modifications to this design.

 

Now to get to the project. I have a 2003 Chevy Silverado. 5.3Lr LS Extended Cab, Short Bed. 120000 miles basically stock except for an aftermarket CD Player (Fujitsu Ten (Eclipse) CD7000).

 

I am currently in the initial stages with only a ScanGaugeII unit attached to my truck so that I can gather as much initial data as humanly/mechanicaly possible. If anyone has any paramaters they would like to see feel free to chat in.

 

Once these initial parameters have been established I will add the HHO unit (which i will give more details about later) and the EFIE altering device (to allow me to adjust the fuel/air mixture on the go).

 

I will then record the same paramaters using the ScanGaugeII and any other devices that come into play during the process.

 

I will then leave it up to this community to decide on any other alterations to the design or for an overall "Pass" or "Fail" on this Entire Project.

 

I want as many people involved in this as humanly possible and no comment/email will be over looked for possible alterations in the experimentation/design/testing.

 

I look forward to working with you guys and I can't wait to begin.

I'm excited to see, or not see, the results. One of our members claims to have seen 30% better MPG with nothing more than a very simple device, no altering of the FA ratios or anything else, just simply plug-and-play. I'm glad to see we may get some empirical data for a change.

 

EDIT: Good luck and welcome to the site!

That is exactly what I am hoping to do. Not a single person I have come across can give me good results or bad results. Everyone I have come across has just half a$$ed this project.

 

I want to do it right and give everyone the results or failure that they have been looking for.

 

That is why I am using every bit of info that is out there now and doing it to the best of my ability with numbers to back it up or push it in to the ground.

 

I hope to get to the bottom of this once and for all.

 

But until then I dont want any posts about how stupid this is or how other people have proven this to give 300% increases.

 

I want numbers and I will provide numbers and hard evidence on whether or not this works.

 

Thanks Guys, I hope I can provide everyone with the information that they want to see, if you dont see it then just let me know and I will try to get it for you.

If you have something conclusive, and quantifiable, we are all for it.

 

We are a tough crowd, but we grow on ya :dunno:

Man, that's really stupid!..... oops. :dunno:

 

 

Oh and I have a special Hydrogen Unit for you my friend.....it may void your warranty....it may also require that you not return to your truck for 40+ years, depending on the half-life of hydrogen.

Until you learn how to defeat the laws of physics, that's all you'll get around here from anyone not named Riggs.

All the numbers and proofs you need are available in 2nd period Physics 101 at any local high school.

HAHA, well I can definately see that. Well i hope to either bust this thing wide open or prove it wrong. I hope it works, i really do, but if not then i want to have some good proof to back it up.

 

Thats why i want to get as many numbers and hard facts as possible. There will also be lots of videos and pictures.

 

So no shortage of info for you guys.

 

And just remember... "Only YOU can prevent forest fires and Nuclear Fallout!!!"

Only at the moleculare level, haha.

While I think this whole "HHO" thing is a bunch of BS, I look forward to the results, since it seems like you have an un-biased opinion towards the whole thing. Good luck, and keep us posted. :dunno:

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
