Bubbler:
A safety-enhancing device (or part of a device) to bubble air
through water in an electrolyzer.

designs might vary - old generators and bubbler shown
Cell (or Electrolyzer cell):
Defined as one unit in an electrolysis system
(a
series of individual cells). By a certain arrangement of electrodes (when
plates are used), a single device can have several cells. In Water Hybrid
Technology electrolyzers where electrodes are spiraled to save energy, each
device (one jar) would constitute one cell.

Browns Gas:
A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. The product of an
Electrolyzer. Two parts hydrogen to one part oxygen plus some water
moisture. Named after Prof. Yull Brown but goes by many other names:
Rhode’s Gas, after it earlier researcher, Dr. William A. Rhodes; also called
HHO (Hydrogen-Hydrogen-Oxygen), hydroxy, oxyhydrogen, green gas, dihydroxy,
water gas or water gas, water fuel or water fuel, etc. In Korea they
call it Brown Gas. Korea by the way has very good technology of HHO
generators for industry. Brown's Gas is great not only for supplemental fuel
for engines, but also good for cutting metal, soldering, brazing (joining
metals at high temperatures), as well as the welding of various metals
inexpensively (compared to the commonly used welding with acetylene).

HHO:
Hydrogen+Hydrogen+Oxygen. The product of splitting water (H2O)
into its components. Common name for Brown’s Gas.

ECU: Engine Control Unit:
Your car's computer. It's the heart of the engine
management system in a modern car, collecting many inputs from sensors
around the car and controlling all functions of the engine such as fuel
injection and heat management.

EFIE: Electronic Fuel Injection Enhancer,
a device to correct the stichomythic (see def.) level programmed into a car
in order to accommodate water fuel technology.
Top
Electrolysis:
When a direct current is passed through a liquid which
contains ions (an electrolyte), chemical changes occur at the two electrodes;
usually a separation of oxygen from hydrogen or other substances it is
chemically bonded with. In our case the process of splitting water into
hydrogen and oxygen.
Top
Electrolyte:
A mixture of catalyst and water in an electrolyzer. We
sometimes refer to the catalyst as electrolyte. That's a common mistake –
the catalyst in our case would be the Sodium Bicarbonate (“baking soda”)
and the electrolyte would be the solution, or the mixture of Sodium
Bicarbonate and water.

Electrolyzer cell: ( see "cell" )
A single cell in an electrolyzer: an anode and a cathode
immersed in an electrolyte. An electrolyzer can have one cell or many. Also
see 'cell'.
Top
Electrolyzer: ( see "cell" )
A device or machine that splits water into hydrogen and
oxygen thus producing Brown's Gas. A common misnomer is “hydrogen
generator”; sometimes called “cell”, as in 'Joe cell'.
Top
Generator: ( see "cell" )
A common misnomer for an electrolyzer, as in “hydrogen
generator”. When mentioned in Water hybrid literature, we refer to
stationary engines that are used to convert gasoline to other types of
energy, usually electricity.
Top
Lean (mixture):
Less fuel and more air in the air/fuel mixture. In
accordance with common wisdom (the “wisdom” of modern automakers) the
mixture should be ideal at 14.7 parts air to 1 part gasoline. But in actual fact
it can be as lean as 100:1 or more.
Top
Vaporizer: ( see "cell" )
A device that adds water vapor to the air/fuel mixture of a
vehicle's engine in order to boost its power, save gasoline and reduce
harmful emissions.
Top
Hydrogen:
The lightest and most abundant element. A gaseous diatomic
element (in simple words: gas that always has particles in pairs). The atom
consists of one proton and one electron.

design might vary
MAP sensor:
Manifold Air Pressure sensor .Oxygen sensor or O2 sensor:
An electronic device that measures the
proportion of oxygen (O2) in the gas or liquid being analyzed. Used in
science labs. In modern vehicles it is a small sensor inserted into the
exhaust system to measure the concentration of oxygen remaining in the exhaust gas to allow an electronic control unit (ECU) to control the efficiency
of the combustion process in the engine.
A side effect of oxygen sensors is that they can prevent fuel-saving
technologies which create a lean fuel-air mixture from working. If the engine
burns too lean due to any modifications (such as adding oxygen from an
electrolyzer), the sensor will detect the mixture as being too lean, and the
engine computer will adjust the injector pulse duration, so that the air-fuel
mixture continues to stay within the
stichomythic (see def.) ratio of 14.7:1 on a typical vehicle. There are ways
that the oxygen sensor can be overcome. Sometimes, a device can be
inserted inline with the sensor, which tricks the engine computer into
thinking the mixture is stichomythic, when actually it is either rich, or lean,
and therefore, this modification will not be automatically corrected by the
oxygen sensor. [Source: Wikipedia]

PCV valve: (

Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve, a one-way valve that
ensures continual refreshment of the air inside a gasoline internal
combustion engine's crankcase.
Top
PCV:
Positive Crankcase Ventilation, a system using a PCV valve (see Def.)
to evacuate gases and moisture from the crankcase of an internal
combustion engine.
Top
Water Hybrid:
A combined technology to convert water to energy. Consists
of a electrolyzer (or several electrolyzer cells) installed on board a vehicle or
any other ICE (see def.), plus a set of fuel economy enhancer, fuel
additives and other techniques.
