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!
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.
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.

Chemical Equation
electrolysis: 2 H2O → 2 H2 + O2
combustion: 2 H2 + O2 → 2 H2O
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%
