Simply put, electrolysis is how it works. Combining distilled water with baking soda added as a catalyst and introducing an electric current cracks the hydrogen and oxygen molecules, allowing these molecules to bubble to the surface of the electrolyzer and then be pulled into the combustion chamber through the vacuum action of the engine. The illustration below shows the basic concept.
The Basics of Installation
The pictures below show the basics of how a unit gets installed. Detailed instructions are included with your kit. The vehicle pictured is a 1993 Landcruiser. Since it is a computerized car, installation of a D.E.F.I.E (Digital Electronic Fuel Injector Enhancer) will be required to see improved mileage. If you are familiar with engines and auto electrics, you can install my units and the D.E.F.I.E. yourself. Otherwise, I recommend you consult a professional auto mechanic or auto electric mechanic. After watching and assisting with the installation pictured below, the owner of this vehicle installed the Main Man unit in his 1987 Chevy himself.

 | This is the Main Man unit. Your distilled water/baking soda mixture is poured in here, leaving about 2 inches of air space for the hydrogen to circulate. |
 | As you can see the unit is tucked in next to the windshield washer container. Notice the piece of plywood that the unit is sitting on. This is to give the unit stability. The black wire (ground) from the top of the unit is bolted to the side of the engine bay to the right of the windshield washer container. |
 | This picture shows how the unit hooks up the engine's electrical system. Notice the red wire (hot) that goes from the top of the unit to the back of the engine bay, where it has been spliced into a hot lead. |
 | Here's a close-up of the splice. We simply used a 12-volt electrical test light to find a hot lead while the ignition key was turned to the Accessories position and spliced the red wire to the hot lead with the blue splicer (included with kit). Finding the hot lead while the key is turned means you are using a connection that will only give power when the key is turned. This prevents the unit from running when the car is off. |
 | This picture shows how the vacuum hoses are run in the engine. The right-hand vacuum hose goes to the manifold, and the left-hand vacuum hose goes to the air intake past the MAP sensor. Notice the white ring on the right-hand hose - this safety feature is a one-way valve that prevents the gas from backing up into the jar and causing overheating of the jar. |
 | This is how the hose gets hooked into the manifold with a T-junction. |
 | Here's the left-hand vacuum hose hooked up to the air intake. A small hole was drilled and a connector piece glued in place with Super Glue Gel. |
 | The last thing you do is use a bungee cord (blue cord pictured) to secure the glass jar so that it doesn't get knocked around in the engine bay and break. Refilling the unit is a simple matter of unhooking the bungee, lifting the unit up and unscrewing the jar from the lid. When refilling, take care not to let any dirt get in the jar or on the wire-wrapped core. |
