Anyone tried the Brown's Gas injector w/Tacoma?

Jan 15, 2008 2 Replies

Hi all,



I was curious if anyone has tried using Brown's Gas injection to boost the fuel efficiency of a Toyota Tacoma. This is also called HHO and is basically Hydrogen (H2) gas and Oxygen (O2) obtained via electrolysis of water. The truck's battery is used as the source of electricity for hydrolysis.



Here's one device, surely there must be more:

My main concern is that rusting could occur inside the engine.



Thanks.

Is it boosting combustion or just boosting compression like water injection did in some WWII aircraft engines. It also has a cooling effect as it boosts compression:

"Following experiments in cooling-drag reduction in 1943 with a P-40K-10-CU which had its "beard" radiator removed to wing installations, and in rear vision improvements by installing a "bubble" canopy on a standard P-40L, a general " clean-up " programmed was initiated, resulting in the sole XP-40Q. With a 1,425 hp Allison V-1710-121 engine, the XP-40Q was modified from the first P-40K-I to have a "bubble" canopy and cut-down rear fuselage, wing radiators and, eventually, clipped wing tips. A four-blade propeller was fitted, and water injection installed. With a weight of only 9,000 lb, the XP40Q attained a maximum speed of 422 mph. This was still less than the speed attained by contemporary production Mustangs and Thunderbolts , however, and the XP-40Q did not achieve production."

Here is what wikipedia has to say about it:

Many many more. Just do a search for water injection engines.

Many years ago there was a device that promised more power and mileage if it was installed. It consisted of a spacer block that fitted between the carburetor and the intake manifold. Inside was two little propellers that were supposed to atomize the fuel more efficiently. My grandfather bought one out of curiosity and installed it on his '46 Ford sedan. It made no difference whatsoever although there were many testimonies by so called happy users that said it dramatically boosted the power and economy of their cars.

Snake oil !! Save your money for gasoline.
