Specific DIY Instructions

Organized according to energy type.

Hydrogen

  • Water4Gas - Simplified device uses a little electricity out of your car's battery to separate water into Hydrogen + Oxygen gas that is 3 times more potent than gasoline. It is added to the air intake of your car engine to improve gas mileage up to 37% by improving combustion. Unique spiraled electrodes produce more gas for less electricity than flat plates.
  • Water4Gas for Diesel Cars and Trucks - Ozzie Freedom's free online book shows you how to adapt your truck/van or any other diesel engine to run with less fuel via hydroxy technology which uses onboard electrolysis to run the H-H-O gas into the air intake to effect a more complete burn of the diesel. The ebook has lots of pictures, showing step by step here how to install the device at home.
  • Running an Automobile on Hydrogen Using Water - I appreciate an open mind for strange projects, but free energy from water, an electrolyte, and a mysterious "metal alloy" are fodder for the National ... (Makezine)
  • HOW TO - Make Hydrogen - Back in 1977, I wrote the head of the U.S. Energy Commission about a study I'd conducted re ... (Makezine)
