A look at one of our early HHO fue cells and why this hydrogen generator exploded on us. Make sure all of your connections are solid and corrosion free!

Nice flag Keep all your conections under water.
Yes cus copper corrodes inside QUICK you need to run straight SS straps to the cell up to the bolts never copper /.
yeah, having a solid connection to the lid is a great idea, solid steal all the way to the bolts… and keep the connections far apart.and built so the main component is fully immersed in the electrolyte at all leaning angles… and liquid electrical tape is your friend at connection points, if using copper wire, be sure to coat completely
Good point SmartScarecrow, the only reason my container didn’t explode is because it was a plastic soda bottle with little headroom and a large output fitting. Had it been glass I’d been having stitches.
I had nichrome wire and galvanized screws. My container did not explode but everything else did. Makes you feel alive, but very scary.
So, what’s being said is to keep the connections on the outside just like a car battery?
How Does that prevent explosions? and how are you preventing it from overheating and melting the pvc?
We went one step better. We have no connections inside any of ours anymore. Solid stainless steel one piece construction for each anode.
Never feed the connectors inside the HHO gas.
Do it only under water, so feed the connectors
from the buttom !
Never at the top !
Safetly rules !

I agree… it’s good to know that we shouldn’t rush and cut corners on materials to get the job done. I am really looking forward to making one of these things, and seeing the problems that others have had helps me.
Thanks for sharing.
Wow. I didn’t realize comment spam was a ‘good Christian’ tactic. Thanks for preaching, but this video has nothing to do with religion.
Dual bubblers might help, unless you have n ignition source inside the generator. That’s a potential problem whenever you have a current flowing through two dissimilar metals, such as copper wire leads connected to stainless steel. Corrosion will result over time even without water or electrolytes.
I totally agree with that. I used glass but had the Saran blowout thing. Even then I think it sucks. Although plastic shards are no better. If your generator is in question have dual bubblers. One at the generator and one before intake. But hey thats just me.
You said it. I didn’t mention glass containment, because I still can’t believe anyone would put a glass jar under their hood. There is a reason glass fuel filter globes aren’t found on regular vehicles anymore. Can anyone say engine fire? I knew that you could.
I would encourage you to do so. sometimes it seems I am the lone voice in the widerness trying to get folks to THINK about what they are doing. scares me to death to see how many are building their generators using GLASS containment. can you imagine your scenario if your container had been glass ???
it seems there is an outfit called water4fuel or some such thing. they have number of aliases. it looks like they are very reckless in their suggested materials and design.
I think we are going to be pointing out a few flaws in some of the designs out there. And most of them are just common sense even rednecks like us can figure out.
thanks … ecellent presentation … folks need to know the things that DONT work as much as they need to know those that DO …
