Anode

The positively charged pole, wire or plate in an electrolyzer or cell

Brown Gas

See HHO. The creation of Hydrogen from water by way of electrolysis was perfected by an inventory named Yule Brown

Bubbler

A simple safety device which is typically your last line of defense against flashback. This unit is typically a tube filled halfway with water. HHO enters the chamber from the bottom and “bubbles” to the top where it continues to your air intake. In the rare event of a backfire, the water in the bubbler will prohibit the flash from ruining your HHO Generator

Carbon Footprint

The gauge used to determine the negative impact human activities have on our environment. Emission of CO2 caused by the burning of fossil fuels plays a huge role in someone’s carbon footprint. Simply taking steps to reduce your fossil fuel consumption will reduce your carbon footprint on our environment.

Catalyst

A material introduced to enhance the chemical reaction between other materials without being changed in the process. Catalysts’ are commonly added to HHO Generators to enhance the electrolysis thus produce more gas. Some Catalysts’ commonly used in HHO

Generators

Baking Soda, Sodium Hydroxide & KOH. CAUTION: Too much of a catalyst can both overhead and damage your HHO Generator as well as cause damage to your engine. It is highly recommended to stick with the catalyst recommended by the maker of your HHO Generator.

Cathode

The negatively charged pole, wire or plate in an electrolyzer or cell

Cell

A device used to split the water into hydrogen and oxygen. The assembly of metal wire or plates where there is at least one Anode and one Cathode. A single Cell is commonly referred to as an Electrolyzer

Conductor

The metal element within a cell such as wire or metal plate that allows an electric current to flow through it

ECU

Engine Control Unit. This unit collects the data from the sensors and controls the functions of the engine such as fuel injection

EFI

Electronic Fuel Injection

EFIE

Electronic Fuel Injection Enhancer. A device used to trick the EFI to allow more oxygen into the fuel mixture

Electrode

A conductor such as metal wire or plate submerged in an electrolyte to allow electrons (electrical current) to pass thru the electolyte

Electrolyte

A combination of water and electrolyzer which makes a solution

Electrolyzer

See Cell

HHO

Mixture of Hydrogen and Oxygen. When adding Hydrogen to the air intake of your vehicle, this mixes with Oxygen thus creating HHO. Both Hydrogen and Oxyhydrogen (HHO) are highly flammable with more potency than gasoline. The byproduct of Oxyhydrogen (HHO) is water

KOH

Potassium Hydroxide. This is very alkaline, highly corrosive and is a strong base. Potassium Hydroxide is highly dangerous and can cause serious injury to an HHO system, not to mention your engine. Extreme care is strongly advised

LPM

Liters Per Minute. A common method of gauging the HHO output of an HHO system

MAF

Mass Air Flow. This is an input used by the ECU to calculate the amount of fuel to be injected in into the engine. The MAF sensor is commonly adjusted when using an HHO system

O2 extender

A simple device used to pull the O2 sensor away from the exhaust to keep the engine from detecting the affects an HHO system has on the emissions. The O2 sensor located in front of the catalytic converter is typically pulled away from the exhaust with this device

O2 (Oxygen) Sensor

An electronic device that measures the proportion of oxygen (O2) in the gas or liquid being analyzed. Used in science labs. In modern vehicles it is a small sensor inserted into the exhaust system to measure the concentration of oxygen remaining in the exhaust gas to allow an electronic control unit (ECU) to control the efficiency of the combustion process in the engine. A side effect of oxygen sensors is that they can prevent fuel-saving technologies which create a lean fuel-air mixture from working. If the engine burns too lean due to any modifications (such as adding oxygen from an electrolyzer), the sensor will detect the mixture as being too lean, and the engine computer will adjust the injector pulse duration, so that the air-fuel mixture continues to stay within the stoichiometric (see def.) ratio of 14.7:1 on a typical vehicle. There are ways that the oxygen sensor can be overcome. Sometimes, a device can be inserted inline with the sensor, which tricks the engine computer into thinking the mixture is stoichiometric, when actually it is either rich, or lean, and therefore, this modification will not be automatically corrected by the oxygen sensor.
