I heard all the negativity surrounding HH0 - How it takes more energy to make it than it actually produces. How any improvements to milage would be the result of the driver actually driving more carefully. etc... etc...
With all the research pointing against this, I decided to actually build a simple HH0 generator and test it on a Honda CRV. Before installing the device, I carefully measured my gas milage and made every attempt to drive the same speed, similar routes, etc. After driving for 1200 miles, my milage was 23.345 mpg. I installed a simple 6 plate generator without the pulse width modulator, tested the system for leaks and fired it up.
I've driven the CRV with the HH0 generator for 800 miles now and my current milage is 28.566 mpg. This means for every gallon of gasoline, I have a net increase of 5.221 miles.
My next move will be to install a PWM and hope that this will keep the temperature down to below 120 degrees. After driving from work to home (42 miles) the temperature of the water in the tank rises from the ambient to 130 degrees. If I doubled the miles on the trip, it will probably reach the point that it begins to pull too many amps.
I am also looking at installing a "bubbler" on the system so it will allow a return of cooler water to the generator cell.
I went into this project with the attitude of adding more fuel to the fire as to why it wouldn't work. I've since changed my mind and with some additional refinements and testing, I think I'll be able to increase my milage on the CRV to over 30 mpg.
So, you guys that keep saying it won't work... lighten up a bit. Your comments remind me of all the scientists telling the Wright Brothers that there was no way they were going to take a heavier than air contraption and actually fly.
