How to Connect an HHO Generator
HHO generators use a catalyst such as baking soda to create a fuel additive from distilled water that is fed into the engine of a car to provide cleaner, more efficient power. It works by using the energy released by the breakdown of water into hydrogen and oxygen molecules. The unit is installed in the engine bay, where it is connected to the intake line of the engine. The installation can be accomplished at home with the proper tools.
