If you are like me, these rising gas prices are really starting to get on my nerves. I started looking for alternative fuel and other ways to reduce my gas expenses. It was too the point where I was considering trading in my car for a hybrid. That's when I discovered hydrogen fuel. In this article, I'm going to discuss the truth about hydrogen fuel cell generators and how you can build a hydrogen fuel cell for your car.

Is This Science Fiction Or Is It Science Reality?

The myth about running your car on water seems like something out of a science fiction movie. I can tell firsthand that this myth is true. However, it is not completely true that you can run your car on JUST water. It is impossible to extract enough energy from water to completely run your engine. The truth is that you can use the hydrogen in water to supplement the current gas running in your engine. This means that your engine will not run completely on gasoline but hydrogen as well. So instead of using 100% of your gasoline, you will be using something like a ratio of 60% gas and 40% extracted hydrogen. Can you start to see how you will be travelling less to the gas station? (It means more money in your pocket!)

Wait, Can You Really Run A Car On Hydrogen Fuel?

Not completely, but a portion of hydrogen fill help run your engine. Now in order to get the hydrogen, we need to understand the composition of water. Water is composed of 2 hydrogen molecules and 1 oxygen molecule. By extracting the hydrogen molecule through a process called electrolysis, enough hydrogen can be used to supplement the gasoline in the engine. This ongoing process of extraction allows enough hydrogen to be used to help power the engine. Makes sense so far?

How Do You Build A Hydrogen Fuel Cell Generator?

It's fairly simple, but you can basically build a hydrogen fuel cell in one weekend without a large investment. You can build one as cheap as $150 for a single cell generator. There are step-by-step guides on how to do this and you don't have to be a mechanic to do it. If you already know a bit of car maintenance, then building a system shouldn't be too difficult.

In conclusion, the myth about hydrogen fuel cell generators is confirmed and it is possible to run a car on hydrogen fuel. The idea is to extract hydrogen from a known source such as water and use it to supplement the gasoline in your engine. These systems are not hard to build and with a good step-by-step guide, anyone can build one in their garage.
