You are preaching to the choir. This is an old video and wires dont last long at all inside that container. I quickly found that out.
tech2rescuesays:
Sorry, I see that you do have one at the top in the air space, but I still think the 1/4 size is too small and your container would blow sky-high if there was an explosion. Another thing you might want to consider is that others have posted videos suggesting that it is a very bad idea to have crimp-on connectors inside the cell because it almost guarantees an eventual blow-up when they corrode and become loose.
tech2rescuesays:
Interesting, informative video. One thing: I really think that in the event of an internal explosion, the rapid pressure buildup will happen so fast that your 1/4 inch relief port will have marginal effect and the container will shatter. Any effective relief mechanism would have to be much bigger and would have to be in the open space at the top of the cell. The water in the site tube would be a complete stopper to the rapid force buildup that ocurrs during an explosion.

Baking soda will produce a toxic gas and will clog your plates and leave deposites in your engine. 100% LYE drain cleaner is your best bet easy to get. about 1/2 teaspoon per gallon and add more if needed. For heat issue run more plates as a +N N N N – N n n n + set up you will reduce your heat a lot. wrap your plate edges if your using wall plates.
Vistal1says:
If you use a +NNN-NNN+ system the more neutral plates the less your going to draw heat. also warping the outside edges will help. Baking soda works and makes a toxic gas The baking soda will clog your plates and leave deposits in your engine . You can use 100% LYE works the same as potassium .

Yes I have. Im still dealing with heat issues so I cant cant give results unil I can mount it in front of my radiator instead of the engine bay. Will post as soon as I get them.

mike826 have you connected your HHO gen. up to a ehicle yet? If so please post your results? An thanks for showing us how to build one …..
miked826says:
Thanks for the info…no more baking soda for me…I’m done. It’s doesnt level off(amp draw) as it heats up.

You can get sodium hydroxide at Home Depot. It is called Crystal Drain Opener. It costs about $7.00 per 2 pound container. Works just as good as potassium hydroxide but much easier to get.
miked826says:
Yeah it doesnt make much sense showing you can make hydrogen if you dont explain how you did it. It’s not like I came up with this on my own. I just try to improve on other peoples ideas.
miked826says:
10ish is about right without using a aftermarket alternator which is what you’d need if you go much higher. All I can say is high amps are great for making lots of hydrogen but with those high amps comes high heat. For whatever reason the longer you leave the hho generator on, the hotter it gets, the more amps are drawn and the hydrogen output continually rises until you blow a fuse….a 20 amp fuse. So I’m using a half teaspoon of baking soda now to try to keep it close to 10 amps as I can.

I liked your vid cause you explained why you did certain things. This is one of the most informative videos on hho generators on youtube.
Many others just show that they can make gas..
what is the “perfect amperage” for hho generation. I would think that you would shoot for ten-ish just to not overwork your alternator..
miked826says:
It doesnt leak if you put it on tight but then its hard to unscrew. Im going to start coating the lid screw threads in Vaseline. It will provide a seal plus make it easy to open.

wow, I learn something new everyday. Thanks for the ABS Plastic idea. I always wanted to use something that doesn’t look like plumbing pipe without painting over it. Awesome! Does your screw on lid leak any HHO when you run it? If so, then what do you use to make a nice seal and still make it accessible? A big O-ring?
