How to build a hydrogen generator for car?

Is it possible to build my own hydrogen-powered car and produce my own hydrogen to power it?

I installed two hydrogen units on my v8 truck and my mileage is better than ever!! I am going to install eight more hydrogen tanks in the rear of my truck with an extra battery to run it all. Free Fuel? I'm not sure but I will find out when I get eight units installed. Good Luck!!! This link will tell you how to design your own. http://www.expertvillage.com/video-series/4069_hydrogen.htm

Well I've reviewed the answers and there are some misleading posts. First the science is there for all to see. Second there is no need to change engines. Third there is a system which is able to supply all the fuel needed to operate your car without gasoline, with stainless steel valves and exhaust systems, plus in an affordable price range.

Actually you can tell your dad someone is already doing it, the company is called united nuclear and they are in development of both a solar or wind powered hydrogen generator and the kit for your car. The nice part is it is safer then gas because they are storing the hydrogen in metal hydride which will allow way more storage then just compressing the stuff and it won't leak out that way. Also the kit is nice because the modifications to your engine don't elimante the gas part it simply uses the computer to turn off the fuel injectors so if your taking a long trip you can still use Gasoline. If you want to develop your own kit I found a couple of websites that sell the metal hydride canisters for hydrogen storage but in the end I will just wait for the premade kit so it will have been tested.

research smack booster. it is the most productive booster to date and is one of the cheapest and eaisest to build. check out the website. everything is there for free including directions, parts lists and where to get it if you want to build it your self. smack booster emits 1.5-2 lpm browns gas and cost less than 200 dollars to build.... I am currently waiting on all the parts to be shipped! http://www.smacksboosters.110mb.com/

It's possible, and no new engine is needed. Just a little knowledge on how to alter or replace a few specific parts. Some guy altered his engine in the '70's to run off hydrogen. It was much safer than burning gasoline (less explosive force if it does blow, and it doesn't burn for so long), the engine oil lasted much longer since it wasn't polluted by hydrocarbon build ups from the burning gasoline and was pretty much free. I forgot how he got his hydrogen. I'd suggest using a windmill if there is any amount of wind in the area where you live; much more efficient per $$ spent.

there a number of websites online that show you how to burn water in your car. they somehow with water and electricity and something else convert the water to a hydrogen gas which is then run in through your intake system. It is supposed to increase your mileage up to 50% on some cars.The kits themselves can be expensive.Over $1000.00 for some models.Would be better to find plans somewhere and build it yourself

I don't think you can buy a hydrogen engine. Also, I think that to get enough energy to produce enough hydrogen to make the car go any significant distance, you'd need way more solar panels than will fit on the car. So you'd need to carry the hydrogen on-board the car in a tank, which sounds a little scary.
