Joe Cell versus HHO Generator

The Joe Cell versus the HHO generator is a topic I feel necessary to talk about since there is so much confusion given the apparent similarities of these two devices. Both the Joe Cell and HHO generator are filled with water and connect to the vehicle's intake system.

This is where the similarities stop, however. HHO generators use an electrical charge from the car, truck or other vehicle to create oxyhydrogen (hydroxy) gas and inject this gas into the internal combustion engine to help the gasoline or diesel fuel burn more cleanly.

The Joe Cell, on the other hand, is based upon electrical charge only. Now, I need to make it clear that I take no position on whether or not the Joe Cell is viable technology. Joe Cell could be a hoax or it could be technology that is ahead of its time and not yet well understood.

HHO gas is barely understood and some might put this is the same category, if it weren't for oxyhydrogen torches that have been around for years and have been proven to work repeatedly. Like HHO generators, Joe Cell also has a number of people giving it voodoo qualities that has helped to retard its research and acceptance.

I'll do my best to describe how Joe Cell is theorized to work in a practical and non-mystical manner. Those who have claimed they have gotten a Joe Cell to work experience an increase the efficiency of a normal internal combustion engine and say that the so-called magic is all in the electrical charge of the distilled water that fills the device.

One of the most palatable theories is that Joe Cell uses distilled water, is connected with concentric stainless steal circular pipes, is connected to a vehicle negative battery post and passes positively charged hydrogen ions into the car's cylinders where this electrical energy is converted to mechanical energy.

Those who have said that they have successfully worked on Joe Cells cite the downside of this device such as touching it will discharge it, the device may take a long time to work once the engine is started, electrical interference from the engine or even electric storms may disable the device and it requires Austentic stainless steel in order to work properly.

In the HHO generator, the water depletes at a regular pace since the hydroxy gas is pulled into the vacuum of the vehicle's intake system. The Joe Cell, on the other hand, very little distilled water is lost because only a few H+ ions make the trip to the vehicle's cylinders and the rest of the time the Joe Cell acts like a battery with a decidedly polar charge.

A few hardcore automotive engineers like reveling in the Joe Cell, trying different methodology to get it to work. But, the popularity of the HHO generator in recent times has outpaced the Joe Cell since its technology is more understood and is not a fickle in getting it to work well in one's vehicle.
