water injection

Not trying to be a pessimist, but unfortunately it takes more energy to split the water into it's gaseous components than it releases during combustion. Therefore it decreases a car's efficiency rather than increase it. Doing a wiki on Browns gas will confirm this also.

Like they say, if it sounds too good to be true.... ah well.

I agree Gerry

Flywest, Yes I did my homework and yes, as I stated in my followup I did Google it and in fact from the wiki I quote

"Oxyhydrogen is often mentioned in conjunction with devices that claim to operate a car using water as a fuel. Because the energy required to split water exceeds the energy recouped by burning it, these devices reduce, rather than improve fuel efficiency."

At no stage did I state that a petroleum vehicle was efficient and that a car wouldn't run on Browns gas.

Petroleum is refined before you put it in your tank, thus all you have to do is burn it, and yes there are pollutants and it is very inefficient etc. (especially my 4WD!!).

If you want to run a car only on HHO by only putting water in the tank, then you need an additional source of energy to help in doing that as the energy released by burning HHO will not produce enough to turn the water into it's gaseous elements as well as power the car, hence the comments and the quote above.

As I said originally, I don't like to be pessimistic and I certainly don't want to sound like a know-it-all or to bag anyone's comments, but if what I know and understand conflicts with something in a post, then I will (politely) offer my side of the argument.

I have seen a number of cars running with HHO devices as an add-on to their normal petrol engine with all kinds of claims regarding power and economy. I am yet to be convinced, but there's no way I will condemn anyone who thinks otherwise.

Have a great day.

fight you guys fight. i have looked into the brown gas aswell but there is a bit of mucking around . you have to make a device that changes the signal from the oxy sensor because as the brown gas enters and is burnt it gives a lean reading and thus the ecu richens up the mixture. so this sort of defeats the purpose .
thanks any way all suggestions are appreciated.

At least we understood them then!
