Could someone explain what is the difference between a H2 generator and HHO generator? It seems that every man and his dog has been led to believe that HHO can be made by simply sticking two electrodes in water and passing a current through the electrodes. I think the difference between the two needs to be defined so that people aren't being led to conduct research into or purchase devices that are simply H2 generators.

H2O- Two to one, Hydrogen to Oxygen, H2 is Hydrogen alone....HHO is where water has been broken down, just like hydrogen is seperated through electrolisis but the oxygen gasses are mixed with the hydrogen gasses.

I understand that a HHO system rearranges the water molecule to produce a more potent gas. What I'd like to know is what are basic requirements of an HHO system for it produce HHO gas and how are they different to a system that produces H2. How can one tell if a system is producing HHO or H2?

I was going to tell you to google it, but I did and saw it was confusing because a lot of sites are about HHO. You have to have an electrolizer, basically it's two (non-metal) containers connected at the bottom with a hose. Both containers need a valve on top to release the gas. Place an electrode in the bottom of both containers, (platinum works best) connect one power lead to each container, the negative will produce hydrogen, the positive will produce oxygen. In an HHO system only one container is used for the electrolizer.

This is the reason why I initially asked the question. There appears to be no clear definition as to what a HHO generator is. Even Peswiki provides no useful information other than stating that HHO gas is produced by electrolysis.

A HHO generator does consist of one gas collection chamber but so does an Oxyhydrogen generator. Are they one and the same? If not how can one tell if their generator is producing HHO gas or oxyhydrogen?
