Post pictures of your HHO installation

Not yet trying to keep it as non-toxic as I can at this point

Hho

Al
Volts are 14.75 +- pixs amps, and what it looks like at cold startup. Voltage drop between plates is 2.475V - 3.015V from what I have seen that should be the sweet spot for production.

Last pix is after running about 45 seconds.

Testing is good, more, and thank you for doing it.

Added a MAF Enhancer to my system.

White vinegar and one quarter teaspoon of baking soda, in one haft gallon of distilled water.
I still get the pond scum though.

I have read on another site from a guy like aldive that baking soda is on of the worst thing to use...
trying to build mine one question will magnetic SS work??? can't get a answer on this

What electrolyte did he use?

What electrolyte did he use?

okay I went re read his post he did not say bakeing soda was the worst it was somebody else but here is what he wrote

I have read baking soda, epsoms salt, lye and potasium hydroxide are all suitable, and from what I have read so far I am leaning toward potasium hydroxide.
That should be available at pool supply stores, it is used to modify the ph of a pool.

Anything that consumes electricity is using watts.
20 amps at 12 volts is 240 watts.
2 amps at 120 volts is 240 watts.

As for stepping up the voltage, that just adds more loss to the process.
Transformers get hot, the heat produced is electricity lost to producing heat that I have no use for.

I am going to use potassium hydroxide (KOH) in the water to make an electrolyte solution.
What controls the watts used in electrolysis is how strong the electrolyte is.
The less KOH I add to the water, the less watts the reaction will consume.
The more KOH I add, the more watts it will consume.
As the water is split, the concentration will increase slightly.
So if I use an amp gauge in the wire that supplies one of the stages, after a while when I see the amperage increasing I will know I need to add water to the generator.

I have been studying for several weeks now.
My approach logic is there should be more than one fixed level of gas production.
There should be a master kill switch.
There should be a safety that does not let gas production happen when the engine is not running.

I could copy and paste a link to our thread on this but can't remeber if it's agaist the rules

Thanks for the info.

I wouldn't think so. We post links to other forums all the time. Especially Ranger Power Sports.

Everyone is going towards the same goal so why work separately? Working together will yield better results.

Are we then concluding that only the water is being consumed, and not any of the added salts? I've thought that a recirculating fluid system would be wise and feasible for this. Pumping the fluid slowly from a remote reservoir would maintain device levels, and reduce refilling needs.

This isnt an install per say, but a prototype my dad is building to go into my truck. Its a single cell. The first video is distilled water w. a 1/2 teaspoon of potassium hydoxide I believe. The second is with a full teaspoon. Again, this is just a prototype. Power is provided by my dad's Hemi. More videos as we progress. Its fun to ignite the bubbles with a lighter

HHO first video

Excuse the side commentry, the video was made when I stopped by my parents house

 

[aldive]

When do you plan on having it up and running in your truck?

 

[Afboy143]

Honestly, we have no idea. My dad is testing it right now with different types of cells. Shown in the video is a single cell. We are going to try to get a triple cell going. The trick is to get a lot of gas without the heat. As you can see in the video, its pumping out a lot of hydrogen, but the heat it generates isn’t suitable for incar/long term use. Updates will post as they come.

Correct in the basics... However you will find that at the higher pulsed voltages (PWM), that you are far more efficient in producing HHO. Overall a PWM pulsed at ~19-22kHz with a 100volt amplitude, produces almost no residual heat and roughly double the HHO for the same input wattage.

Very good, a list of components for the best HHO system is emerging.

 

[shortstack]

here are a few pics and a video of mine

 

[Afboy143]

Very nice short stack! I was wondering- can you take a pic of the actual connection to the PCV valve from the HHO generator? I know you showed it in your video, but I couldnt see the actual connect. Any results you noticed yet?

 

[shortstack]

^^thanks, ya i'll see if i can get a better picture where it ties into the vacuum line.

 

[Afboy143]

much appreciated!

 

[shortstack]

here ya go

they wanting it to go into the vacuum line that ties into the manifold but this is the one i found. someone let me know if theirs a better spot. thanks
