One of the most effective ways that I know to clear the air is to compare and contrast the hydrogen car with the water car. The hydrogen car runs on compressed hydrogen gas or liquid hydrogen pumped from outside the vehicle into a tank.

The run your car on water car uses H2O stored onboard, electrolyzes it to create HHO gas and uses this as supplementary fuel for a gasoline or diesel powered vehicle. Where people get confused are the similarities.

Both the hydrogen car and water car can start with H2O and create hydrogen from it in order to run or partly run the vehicle. The question is first, where does this conversion from H2O to hydrogen occur. If it occurs outside the vehicle and then pumped into the vehicle’s tank this is a hydrogen car.

If water is stored onboard the vehicle, however, and electrolyzed, this hydrogen on demand technology is a characteristic of a run your car on water vehicle. In this scenario, water is electrolyzed into HHO gas then pumped into the vehicle’s intake system where it mixes with the gasoline or diesel and helps this fuel to burn more cleanly and completely.

Another area of confusion is that some websites call the HHO generator a water fuel cell or HHO fuel cell or something similar. This is misleading terminology. A hydrogen fuel cell goes inside a hydrogen car. HHO generators or hydrogen generators go inside typical gasoline-powered internal combustion engine vehicles.

I hope this clears up the confusion. Many people get these two very different technologies mixed up because many webmasters themselves are very mixed up.
