What is an HHO Generator ?
An HHO generator is a device that produces hydrogen and oxygen by electrolyzing water. The two most common types of HHO generators are alkaline HHO generators and PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) HHO generators.
Alkaline HHO generators have the advantage of relatively lower setup costs, but their disadvantages include higher energy consumption and the need to frequently replenish the alkaline solution (such as KOH or NaOH). This also leads to an unavoidable issue of highly corrosive alkaline mist being generated alongside the HHO gas. Due to the corrosive nature and the cheaper materials used, the equipment often requires frequent maintenance and replacement of critical components.
On the other hand, PEM HHO generators offer much higher electrolysis efficiency and lower energy consumption. They only require the addition of pure water, with no need for other solutions. Thanks to the use of DuPont’s proton membrane and an iridium oxide coating, PEM generators outperform alkaline electrolysis systems in various aspects. However, the cost of the equipment is slightly higher. As the saying goes, the only downside of expensive things is that they’re expensive.
The Science Behind HHO Technology
Some people think that using an HHO generator violates the laws of thermodynamics, but this is a misconception. HHO gas does not save fuel by replacing part of the fuel burned. Instead, it improves fuel combustion efficiency within the engine, leading to fuel savings. You can check out the video below to observe the different combustion behaviors when HHO gas is added to the engine.
However, simply adding HHO gas is not enough. A microcomputer is also needed to adjust the ignition timing. When an engine uses different types of fuel, each type requires different settings. Methanol, ethanol, racing gasoline, diesel, and hydrogen peroxide all need specific settings to achieve optimal performance. Factors such as spark plugs, carburetor injection, and engine timing must be adjusted to ensure the engine runs at its best. Since hydrogen burns much faster than gasoline, adding a small amount of hydrogen to the mixture can enhance fuel combustion efficiency. You also need to retard the engine’s ignition timing closer to TDC to further improve engine efficiency.
Our team of engineers has spent eight years testing various cars and different mileages, and through continuous testing, we’ve found the optimal solution.
Cost Savings: How Much Money Can You Save with an HHO Generator?
According to our actual tests on trucks of different brands, models, and years, there will be a 10%-18% increase in fuel economy.The truck is a FAW JieFang heavy-duty semi-trailer with a displacement of 11.05 liters and 460 horsepower. We conduct a same distance, same section, same driver,150KM driving test.
Firts test
We don’t install anything. Let the truck run 150.9KM
Average MPG : 33.5L/100KM
Consumption : 50.9L

Second test
We installed the senza hydrogen truck kit. and then ran the truck for the same distance.
Average MPG : 27.8L/100KM
Consumption : 42.0L
Mileage : 150.6KM
Test results
Average MPG :
First : 33.5L/100KM

After our many tests, we found that the trucks using the hydrogen truck kit can improve the fuel economy by 10%-18%.
Environmental Benefits of Using HHO Generators in Cars
Our research on the performance of HHO gasoline engines under fixed conditions
One of the significant benefits of using hydrogen and oxygen in internal combustion engines is the potential for reduced emissions. To evaluate the impact of the HHO car kit on emissions, we measured the levels of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC) produced by the engine under various conditions.
1.HC emissions decrease first and then increase with the increase of hydrogen and oxygen content, with the lowest emission value when the hydrogen and oxygen content is 600ml/min. HC emissions can be reduced by 30%.
2.CO emissions increase first and then decrease with the increase of hydrogen and oxygen content under low and medium load conditions, with the lowest emissions when the hydrogen and oxygen content is 450ml/min; under medium and high load conditions, CO emissions decrease first and then increase, with the lowest emissions when the hydrogen and oxygen content is 450ml/min. CO emissions can be reduced by 25%.
