Hydrogen generator?

[cs363]

Yes but it upsets the PC brigade and the Politicians... which makes it something we should have done a lot sooner!

I'll vote for that!!!

What about magnets to fuel an engine?

[Kickaha]

Anyway, what's all the fuss....global warming is great: a few degrees more ambient temperature, desert road not closed as often, beaches will be closer to home....there are so many advantages...

Won't somebody think of the Tuatara

Nah....it was never my favourite model Bimota....

If they could give say 50km's (my daily) with a higher output and I used wind/solar/hydro... to recharge the batteries at night.

I'd give up the solar power recharge at night idea, if I were you.

That is what batteries are for, charge during the day discharge at night

discharge at night

Hmm, that doesn't sound too good....

Ahhhhh. That isn't what you said though.

Well saw said mate today, he has the system working on his car - says he's saving 25% on fuel, from just an old Agee jar and a few bits of hose and wire!

Same here - I met a guy recently who built his own electrolysis system for his car and after 6 month's use he gets 20 - 25% fuel savings on trips.

He says the added Hydrogen and Oxygen enables petrol to burn more efficiently, resulting in fuel savings. The only thing that I wonder about is what the added H and O does to valves, rings, plugs, etc. Conspiracy people may claim that car manufacturers do not use electrolysis since they are in cahoots with Oil Companies, but there just may be a more basic reason, such as damage to internal engine parts.

Hi. New to the forum. Also looking for a check valve to prevent flashbacks, any help would be appreciated as the explosions are proving to be expensive and dangerous. Just built a 28 plate stainless steel generator powered from a few 12v heavy duty batteries and charged via solar cells. Works well and produces a good amount of browns gas (HHO). Currently investigating PWM supplies to reduce current levels as research points to ths as reducing heat and prolongs discharge rate. Anyone done this yet??

[Swoop]

Right!!

I had a good chat with the guy at work who now has his hydrogen plant installed and working in his commodore.

He is using a bottle with water in the bottom as the anti-flashback device. The inlet hose from the generator, runs into the bottom of the water and the hydrogen bubbles up and into an outlet hose at the top of the container. From here it goes into the air intake system.

He is saying ~20% fuel saving and HEAPS more power!
Currently running a single unit but the plans are to fit a second.

Piccies attached.
Left one is the generator, to the right of the battery.
Right piccie just shows the top of the anti-flashback bottle peeking out from behind the air filter unit.

If you feed the HHO in before the air filter you shouldn't need flash protection, or use a bubbler but the more pipe work you have the more stored Gas you have and storage need to be kept to a minimum!

Your Electrodes should be Platinum because it is a catalyst for H20 = H2 + O reactions. You will get more H2 and O2 produced wth less energy required. Played with make some as a Teen back in 79-80 LOL.
