Let’s get to it. Run your car on water… Sounds sketchy right? I had probably the exact mind set you have right now. Thinking this can’t be for real, and even if it is there is no way I am going to be able to build this on my own and install it. So let me tell you about my little story.
I am a divorced mother of two with limited time on my hands. I know absolutely nothing about cars, engines or building hydrogen generators for that matter. I drive a Jeep Liberty and let me tell you, I did not enjoy filling that thing up every week. I searched the net for ways to increase gas mileage and immediately saw ads for building your own hydrogen generator. I looked into it a bit and seen it was just a guide not an actual pre assembled kit so I shrugged it off thinking no way in hell I am going to build this, then install it you have to be kidding. I didn’t even know how to open the hood of my Jeep. (ya ya insert blonde joke here I know guys). Anyway I had some vacation time coming up and I figured what better time than to take a day and really attempt this project.
So I went ahead and purchased one of the top rated guides seeing as how it is made specifically for idiots like me. It had a 56 day money back guarantee so I figured what the heck; I’m going to try this.
Once I got the guide I bought (it actually came with a bonus book), and started reading it, it got me really excited. It had very detailed and easy to follow step by step instructions and illustrations to show me exactly what I had to do. It showed me exactly how it was going to work and help my gas mileage as well as emissions and cleaning my engine out. I got to the collecting the parts section and immediately took a trip to home depot. I had a very nice gentlemen look at the book with me and help me collect all the parts.
I went back home and started piecing the parts together as instructed. I never really got stuck at any part and have the thing completely built in just 2 hours and I went slow and cautious. I couldn’t believe how fast and easy it actually was. The pictures did a fantastic job of idiot proofing this.
Once completely built, I hooked some electricity to it from a test battery like it said to try, added some water with baking soda, and to my surprise it started carbonating and making hydrogen. I was ecstatic.
Now the scary part, installing it. After finally figuring out where the latch up under the hood was, I got my hood open (YAY!). Now what I saw made me ill. A complete mess of metal and wires. I was ready to close the hood again and give up right there. I looked at the pictures in the book and compared and managed to locate my air intake. I first found a place to set the hydrogen generator in the engine where it would be safe. Once I got it mounted I hooked the hose up to the air intake like it said, then I hooked the electricity from the battery exactly like it showed.
That’s it! I looked over everything, double checked, and then the book said OK fire up the engine. I am not going to lie I was quite nervous. I turned the key and it fired right up. I quickly ran back to the engine and look, and my generator was on, and working! I started seeing the hydrogen get sucked in through the little tube. It looked so cool and I was so proud.
“Blonde builds homemade hydrogen generator and installs it”
Let’s hear the blonde jokes now guys..? 🙂
So that is my story.
