"We used to go 10 miles and literally watch the gas needle go down. Now we've gone about 60 miles and the needle has barely moved!"

How I Spent My Summer - 2008

As a craftsman and a business owner, I feel strongly that if I wouldn't buy my product, how could I expect anyone else to. With that in mind , when I became a water4gas affiliate I started to build electrolyzers and run them in 110-120 degree heat outside of my shop. I would run a unit 3-4 hours a day noting many things that would become design modification in the second and third generation prototypes. When I was satisfied that the unit was viable and able to do hour after hour producing at highway speeds I set out on a 3705 mile journey.

I encountered every kind of highway - long grades that really tax your engine, windy, hilly roads where constant shifting is mandatory, and straight level freeways such as the mighty I-5, which runs from South America to Canada. My destination was northern Idaho and return to the desert of Southern California.

I have a 1988 Toyota SR-5 pickup in excellent shape with just 118K miles, almost like new for this vehicle. It has an automatic transmission and a 2200 cc 4 cylinder motor. These trucks are bullet-proof but not known for big numbers as far a mpg is concerned. I had started keeping detailed records of fuel economy back in February when I become an affiliate with water4gas. My average empty was 22-23 MPG.

On my trip I was pulling a small 4 x 8 ft. trailer with 3 ft. sides. The total added pulling weight to the truck was 330 pounds for the trailer empty plus my gear. I was going to camp each night so I had minimal gear but still 200 pounds worth. This is important because my starting number was 22 MPG. All of you who have pulled a trailer know that they destroy mileage. Two summers ago I pulled a 12 ft. 4-wheel trailer loaded with 4 ATV's and two off-road motorcycles PLUS my gear up I -5 ending in Portland Oregon. If you have not ever driven that freeway it includes three mountain ranges to cross and there is usually a headwind going north. My Toyota pulled all the way without a hitch except that for more fill-ups than not. The MPG was between 9-12. Not good when 22 is your average.

That trip was before I installed my HOD system. HOD (Hydrogen On Demand) is what these systems are. They are not HHO - HHO signifies the production of Brown's Gas or H3O OH. I am the first on the market with a complete working, easy to install, simple delivery system that produces H3O OH and delivers it to the engine ON DEMAND. Be aware , there are many sites selling flawed plans that they took from the water4gas website and then call it their own.

Also remember that as I state on the Home Page, the benefits of HOD are many and MPG is the last and the hardest to control because of the nature of the OBD I & II computers put in all cars since 1989. My truck has fuel injection and a computer but because it is before the implimentation of the OBD's. I haven't yet put a digital hack on the truck to specifically increase the mileage.

My numbers are real and on the trip I got 16-17 mpg pulling north over the mountain ranges with the headwinds. From Portland up the Columbia River Gorge I got 31 mpg with a tail wind without the trailer. I found that the mpg was higher with my speeds between 45-60 up and down the hills and curves with and without the trailer and lower running 70-75 on the freeway with and without the trailer.

I got many a questioning look from guys driving big diesels pulling trailers when I would pass them on a long hill. The power increases available with the HOD system are truly amazing and pulling long 6% grades at 45 loaded puts a smile on your face.

While on this trip I installed one Big Daddy (64oz unit) three Main Man's (32oz.unit) and one Little Big Man..(16 oz.unit). Due to my design modifications on the standard water4gas template which was patented originally in the 1920's and refined by Bill Lang at Gulf Labratories in Florida, my units have longer wires and more wraps around the tower so therefore more H3O OH production per smaller physical size for the jars, thus able to fit in places in newer cars that the really big stainless steel and plastic units can't. The Main Man will work in any size 6-cylinder engine, whether straight 6 or V-6 and small V-8's. That's why I call it the Main Man. It will be the biggest seller because of it's size, production capacity, and price. The Big Daddy will work really well on BIG V-8's like the big towing 1-ton Fords , Chevy's and Dodge's - even the hemi, which is notorious for getting about 9-11 mpg.

Two of the Big Daddy's will work on big-rig 18 wheelers - no need to involve yourself with the complexity of a six-pack of 32 oz jars. I think it is better to have two big producers rather than six minimal producers.

OK...back to the trip!

The Big Daddy was installed in a 1978 Ford 3/4 Ton pick-up with a 460 V-8. That is close to the biggest engine still running on the roads, with 60K actual miles. Carol, the owner, said that at highway speeds you could watch the gauge go down. She was getting 9 MPG before the unit was installed. After, on our first trip, even before it was fine-tuned it jumped to 12 MPG - that's a 30 % increase in mileage, PLUS it runs cooler, smoother, and shifts easier and has more power.

Trucks and cars made before 1989 have an easier time showing positive results because they have carburators and no computers. I installed a Main Man on a 1993 Toyota Landcruiser with 305K mostly highway miles. Stevo and Dooney received, with the unit, a D.E.F.I.E., which allows the O2 sensor to relax and allows a leaner fuel/air mixture thus bigger mpg gains after the hack is installed. In an e-mail yesterday Dooney told me that the Landcruiser got 3mpg better on the return trip to their home in Montana.

Stevo is very sensitive to emissions coming out the exhaust because of the poor inefficient design of the internal combustion engine After installation he could stand next to the vehicle without getting sick. All unburned gas that would have gone out of the engine into the catalytic converter is vaporized with the addition of Hydrogen and ozone with the water vapor. The engine is continually steam-cleaned.

So, better performance, cleaner, if not zero emissions out of the tailpipe and a cleaner engine - these benifits are the major reasons to use one of our HOD systems. Then with the DEFIE you get a homerun. I haven't gotten reportrs back yet on the other two installs. The last was a Ford Ranger with 175K miles that was not being maintained properly. The emissions from that truck were terrible even after installation. These units work the best on cars that have no major problems and have been properly maintained - even changing the plugs and wiring on older cars will facilitate better results.

So the bottom line on cost per mile is that when I was doing my research gas was at $4.50 a gallon here in California, and that dropped to around $3.80 on the last legs of the trip. Before the HOD was installed my cost per mile was 26 cents. My cost per mile this trip was 19.4 cents a mile or a savings of 6 cents a mile loaded with the trailer verses 26 cents empty. 3705 miles x .06 cents = $223.00. That $223 dollars represents a 31 % savings on the trip. With the money I saved I'm going to Sedona for the Raw Spirit Festival .
