BASIC PRINCIPLES WHEN MAKING THE
INSTALLATION OF YOUR GENERATOR
VERY IMPORTANT, read this manual carefully and if you do not understand the
instructions get help from a mechanic or call us for advice.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
The hydrogen produced is introduced into the engine through the intake making use of the
suction or vacuum that the engine produces, combines with gasoline, diesel, or LPG
depending on the type of engine; in the combustion chambers of each cylinder, it burns
together with the fuel used and the air drawn in by the engine. This mixture is
more efficient than the combustion of primitive fossil fuel, due to this efficiency
a high performance of the engine is achieved, a significant reduction in emissions
contaminants and proper engine cooling.
From the previous process, it can be deduced that fuel savings occur.

works with any electronic injection system; as well as with systems of
carburization and take advantage of the safety systems of the injection, such as disconnection

NOTE:
Current research on hydrogen is mainly focused on how to accumulate
the hydrogen that is produced after electrolysis (this is what is called technology
from the fuel cells). Once again, the consumer will have to rely on someone
that provides him with hydrogen for his new super efficient and super expensive car. Said

Install the bubbler anywhere on the engine, it doesn't matter if it is higher or
lower than the other elements. You can install it where you have enough space to

RELAY:
The relay can be fixed anywhere, but please consider the instructions in the
section on 'electrical connections'. The drier the place, the better it will be.
AMMETER:
Check the instructions in 'electrical connections'. Please note that the
The ammeter is connected to a board that is a type of resistor through which
the electricity circulates. NEVER connect the ammeter directly in the
circuit. Often it is placed inside the car for a better
control, as it indicates whether water or electrolyte needs to be added.
Note:
The ammeter is delivered in kits for engines with a displacement of over 5000 cc.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS:
See the section of the same name 'electrical connections' to see in
depth and step-by-step the entire electrical installation.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Install as much as possible both the water tank and the
generator, as far away as possible from very hot areas. The more ventilated it is

IMPORTANT:
For the electrical part, you must consider the following aspects:
The entire electrical circuit must be 'under lock' (which means that only ...
it works when the car is running). There is only power if the engine is running (is
turned on).
Connect the ground, with a cable to the battery or through the mounting screws to the
chassis. This is what we call 'grounding'. NOTE: the mass of the vehicle does not

noise control grommets that do not add weight.
If desired, all the wires can be connected to the battery (the black ones to negative)
and the reds to positive).

as a goal to feed it ONLY when the engine is running in order to avoid a
accumulation of HYDROGEN in the circuit and the discharge of the battery.
Look for where to connect the main power of the generator (+), it may be
directly from the battery or at the output of the alternator.

between 0 and 5 maximum and the generator will stop working.
It is possible that you live in a cold region, and that in winter the temperatures
drop below 0 degrees Celsius and fear about the freezing of the water in the tank. The
electrolyte dissolved in water, can function up to 10 degrees below zero without
freeze, if the ambient temperature is below this limit, wait for the engine to
heat before turning on the hydrogen generator cell.
Another solution, and perhaps the best, is to add ethyl alcohol to a solution of
20%, this will prevent freezing even below -30 degrees.
Steps:
Start by adding the delivered electrolyte to a gallon of water, close the lid tightly, and shake.
The liquid will hardly go down by itself (initially) to the generator, so in some cases
you need to blow a little through the outlet tube of the tank. When you blow into the tank, you will see the
water goes through the transparent tubes to the cell. Refill to the maximum
deposit again.
Start the engine. Soon you will see the bubbles from the generator running towards the
deposit, but I see bubbles from the deposit to the bubbler and from the bubbler to the
admission, because HYDROGEN is a transparent GAS.
The ammeter will indicate a certain amount of amperes, we will have to adjust it.

and check how many amps it shows.
Every 4-6 amperes generates 1 liter per minute of HYDROGEN. Knowing this
rule we can calculate how much HYDROGEN we need in the engine and
With how many amperes do we achieve it.

If you see that you have added too much electrolyte, simply empty a little (or directly
half) of the water from the tank, with a manual pump, never sucking with the mouth and

DRIVING WITH
HYDROGEN
Now that everything is set up, we must be aware that the vehicle operates on
more efficiently with the aggregation of HYDROGEN.
We need to take into account a series of aspects to make the most of the
benefits and achieve greater savings.

Usually, the maximum benefits are achieved when driving in the city and at
reduced speeds (at low revolutions), secondary roads and speeds

The ideal is to shift gears as soon as possible (that is, very short shifts).
We will be able to travel at 50-60 km in 4th or 5th gear without any problems and barely
pressing the accelerator.
You will notice that practically no smell comes out of the exhaust pipe anymore and in
diesel engines have particularly reduced smoke and black gases in
