An '''electrolysis system''' makes a mixture of [[oxygen]] and [[hydrogen]] gas, also known as [[oxyhydrogen]], from water. There are many types of electrolysis systems. These systems have been associated with hydrogen production, but others have used oxyhydrogen alone to fuel engines <ref>http://www.keystonestatehho.com/emissions.html</ref> to [[Oxy-fuel welding and cutting|welding torches]]. This is because the oxygen to hydrogen ratio is 1:2, which is perfect because when burned there is no other production other than pure water. But these systems have been tied with scams as well. The reason for the failure of the scams are due to the fact that usually they don't produce enough oxyhydrogen. Even though many universities and private parties have done tests and have argued for years on the results, no official government test data has been released.<ref>[http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/autos/aut10.shtm United States.

==Types of systems==
===Pipes Method===
:The Pipes Method uses two pipes, one smaller than the other, the smaller one inside the larger one. A negative or positive charge is run through the larger pipe, and the opposite charge is run through the smaller pipe. But for more effective results, it is possible to put multiple neutral-charged pipes in between the two charged pipes for more surface area on the water to produce more oxyhydrogen. The pipes are usually made of copper or stainless steel.<ref>[http://www.hyiq.org/Library/Images/HHO%20Cell4.jpg Picture of a Pipes Method System]</ref>

===Stacked Plates Method===
:The Stacked Method uses multiple plates in close proximity instead of pipes. There can be two or more individual plates. They are usually thin and made of copper or stainless steel. But the same ideas applies. ''Picture of a Stacked Plates Method System''<ref>[http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2112/2388191111_01c3683169.jpg]</ref>

===Two Wires Method===
:The Two Wires Method is used for examples to show people what HHO is and how it works. This system is just two oppositely charged wires in a jar of water and bubbles slowly are released from the water next to the wires. This system can take up to an hour to create very minimal amounts of oxyhydrogen. The wires can be made of any type of conductive material. Since the wire method is so inefficient, there is no large performance gain or loss with different materials.<ref>[http://www.andybrain.com/sciencelab/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/electrolysis-in-action.jpg Picture of a Two Wires Method System]</ref>
