There is a lot of confusion with some people regarding fuel cell cars and gasoline-powered cars that use HHO generators for supplemental energy. Much of the confusion started with Stan Meyer and his Water Fuel Cell car or dune buggy that supposedly ran using only H2O and nothing else.

But, the Stan Meyer water car was shown to be a fraud by an Ohio court and fuel cell cars in the 1990’s were just coming into their own, so the comparison and confusion have continued to this day. There is one website that I’ve found that is trying to clear up the confusion between HHO generators and hydrogen cars by showing contrast between the two technologies.

When it comes down to basics, the HHO generator produces hydrogen and oxygen from water as a supplemental fuel for gasoline-powered cars. Fuel cell vehicles, on the other hand use pure, compressed hydrogen gas to create electricity to run the electric motors on the vehicles. Anyway, as nutshells go, this is it, so don’t be fooled or confused by websites that state otherwise.
