  1. Browns Gas / HHO An unusual form of energy production By Mike Bratcher And Matthew Moss

  2. So what is Browns gas / HHO? • HHO is a mixture of Hydrogen and Oxygen gases. • Typically a 2:1 ratio (HHO). • An environmentally safe type of gas, when burned, it does not release any pollutants, and turns into water!

  3. Brief History • HHO was discovered by Yull Brown while working at a laboratory in Australia in 1958. • Yull Brown discovered that hydrogen and oxygen gas can be safely mixed. • The result is Brown's Gas, a hydrogen and oxygen mixture that can be economically generated, compressed, and used safely.

  4. How is it produced? • Brown's Gas is produced by the electrolysis of water which uses an electric current to break down the water molecules into their gaseous state.

  5. Video Example

  6. Chemical Equation • electrolysis: 2 H2O → 2 H2 + O2 • combustion: 2 H2 + O2 → 2 H2O

  7. Usage of HHO gas • HHO is mainly used in the welding Industry where high temperature torches are used. • Temperatures of 2800 degrees can be achieved with a byproduct of water. • HHO can be used as an addition to gasoline in motor vehicles which could increase the gas mileage between 50-60%
