Every chemical reaction needs start-up energy and an electrolyte to function. In this case, we are dealing with the electrolysis of water.

The electrolyte is mixed in with the water before entering the hho generator. This means that the water molecules are among the electrolyte molecules, and for example, we'll say the electrolyte we're going to use is potassium hydroxide.

The hydrogen generator works by separating the bonds of the molecules with a jolt of electricity. Some of the atoms in the H2O molecule bond with the split pieces of the potassium hydroxide molecule. This leaves the rest of the hydrogen and oxygen molecules to bond with themselves, creating H2 and O2. The H2 and the O2 are in their gas state as they exit the generator. The laminar airflow causes unintentional pickup of electrolyte water. This is filtered through the bubbler. Then the H2 and the O2 molecules exit the bubbler for use in different applications.
