HHO Converter HYDROGEN FOR CAR-HOME POWER!
You can make hydrogen extremely easy with your solar panels to power in and there is no pollution involved in it. Why pay the electric company when all you need is a bucket of water and some stainless steel wallplate switch covers.
HYDROGEN STORAGE!
To use Hydrogen as a fuel to heat and cool your home would require storage tanks for it to be effect all weather system. This would require expensive commerical equipment that would be out of the reach of most people. I've created pressurise hydrogen on a small scale three times directly from the source, twice i got away with it, but the third time i'm lucky to even be here. If someone tries to tell you that you can pressurize hydrogen straight from a HHO generator they are not going to be on this earth very long! Hydrogen is highly explosive and very dangerous. If you make it without knowing what you're doing you are very likely to just turn yourself into an amusing statistic.
There is another major hazard with hydrogen. It is the leaky-ist substance known to man. Hydrogen will leak freely thru a hole that is too small to let out a quart of air in 2000 years. It even leaks thru solid metal. This makes any large scale handling very dangerous. Combine this tendency with it's amazingly wide combustion ratio, & you get something that is better left alone.
Compression & storage isn't difficult, mechanically, but you cannot store any major amount without extreme pressures. One could make a simple compression & storage facility from propane tanks & a refrigeration compressor, but I wouldn't try it, because of the safety factor. At the very least, you would want your compressor outside, & the tanks underground. The whole system would have to be evacuated & purged several times with an inert gas before use, to make sure absolutely no oxygen remained.
HHO- Means a "new gas" ~smiles~ consisting of monatomic hydrogen and oxygen!
Now the talk is about storage of hydrogen! With HHO you don't store hydrogen at all with HHO you generate (Hydrogen On Demand) means no storage.
Idealy you would have a HHO generator inside your car that generates hydrogen from water. This means a car can run entirely on water or even heat your home with water but this type of HOD isn't available in the market yet, but they are test project cars doing this as seen on TV.
HOD with the future models (Now being tested) will draw a small amount of water from a reserve and performs the electrolysis simutaneously as the vehicle runs. All you need is water as fuel with no need to refill at hydrogen stations
(As the oil companys wants you to)
What is being done now with HHO by experimenters is using water in a small container generating with simple wires connected to SS plates that is charging water with 0.5-30 amps at 3 to 14 pulsing vdc to keep the amps and heat down. To get a decent amount of Hydrogen flow the ideal temperature for electrolysis is a minimun 98.6 degrees fahrenheit. HHO doesn't separate the hydrogen and oxygen at all as H2 is a flammable gase and 02 is an oxidiser an they do turn back into water when burned together. The popular HHO units uses a dual output design that "connects to your car engine intake manifold and to the injection after air filter" or another explanation is "one line goes between to the air filter and carburetter/fuel injection another line goes directly into the "intake manifold via a vacuum line". This mixes hydrogen HH0 with the present fuel system.
Note: Following instructions with a Commerical HHO unit be careful!
After 30 minutes of operation using a 12 volt battery on the work table instead of in my car it was showing 5 Amps on the meter. A very simple unit with no safety extras installed, the plastic container was getting very hot holding the electrolysis water/baking soda mix, and it was turning a blood red goo.
If the electrolyte becomes discolored, it usually means the electrodes plates are being eaten away. A thermo-hydrogen Melt down was imminent and would have ocurred if i hadn't discounted the battery. Note: I wasn't following the instructions I used to much baking soda
The present Goal
Is a gasoline car that gets 100+ mpg. That is using HHO (h2)
to assist in a cleaner combustion using less gasoline.
The HHO technology
A ideal HHO generator is one that doesn't change your vehicle's engine or computer, so if you ever decide that you don't want to use a system like that, you can unhook it and your engine is just as it was - but cleaner! The device installed makes the engine quiet, calm. The engine stops knocking or "pinging". The water changes the combustion cycle into a more even or "round" cycle. This happens immediately upon installation, and from that moment on, your engine works in a new way. The effect is not only less noise, it's also less vibration, resulting in reduced strain on the transmission (thus smoother gear shifts), cleaner pistons and valves, and generally better engine operation. Water cools down the engine. I would caution anyone against purchasing a HHO unit that is totally sealed with no way to take it apart and clean it. Furthermore, I know some of these units are being run with A hot mix (not water). It won't take long before you'll practically have to throw that whole booster away due to the gunk and corrosion that will get built up inside it.
The production of Hydrogen depends on several factors:
Like what type of cell design, configuration of - negative cathode and + connection anode and what kind of metal are you using, as well as what additives are used mixed with the water, (baking soda, potasium oxide, etc.) size of cell etc. The modulator will only regulate how much voltage and at what frequency you are sending it to the cell, of course the higher the volts the higher the Amps and more Heat.
A Catalysts (additives) must be used in HHO production:
Everything I find about using catalysts states to start with a small amount, increasing gradually until your goal amperage is reached, bear in mind that a cold start may be at .05 amps and gradually increase as high as 5 to 10 amps depending on which catalyst is used. Some catalysts such as baking soda are consumed during HHO production, while others such as NaOH are not consumed, and only water needs to be added.
TAP WATER-DISTILLED and WATER-RAIN WATER
Since clean water cannot conduct electricity properly on its own, a catalyst must be added for HHO. So the saying just use plain water isn't the hole story.
Clean tap water (not city water though due to all the chlorine and other chemicals added), Using tap water is harder on the cell plates they deteriorate faster. Rainwater as a electrolyte is the best way to go but the ability to add straight tap water is a more user friendly!
Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate):
Advantages: Available everywhere... Cheap ... Safer than most...
Disadvantages: Electrodes and water will turn brown.
Baking Soda leaves a brown tinted residue.
You can regulate the amp draw with neutral plates or a pulse width modulator for amp control and heat build up.
HHO generators are maintenance intense and require some upkeep, with baking soda as a catalyst even more!
BAKING SODA: A FEW INHERENT PROS/CONS!!
Baking Soda: Sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate is the chemical compound with the formula NaHCO3. Above (140F), it gradually decomposes into sodium carbonate, water and carbon dioxide.
Used it and like it. Baking soda is not the preferred catalyst for HHO production, but it is cheap and readily available. However it does produce unwanted gas byproducts that can be dangerous.
Too much baking soda = too much heat more amps. Not enough baking soda = very little gas production.
Never use more than 1/2 tsp baking soda per US quart of distilled water. Find a balance, it really doesn't take much to work.
Baking soda is consumed during HHO production. If It’s not hard to empty a cell housing once a week and keep a completely fresh solution in your container, then rethink your cell housing and installed location under the hood of your car.
Baking soda as a catalyst is better if you control it with electronics and re-add the same measured mix weekly with fresh water, also invest in a pulse width modulator for amp control and heat build up in the cell. Baking soda has an ability to make brown build up on the plates. This can be removed with vinegar. To much baking soda mix they will be More sludge precipitates out of the solution and Stainless Steel electrodes can be completely dissolved in a matter of hours.
Wire vs Plate theories.
The difference is Wire is more efficient and can produce smaller more stable amounts of HHO. Plates produce more HHO but have the disadvantage of drawing to many amps and creating heat which is essentially just wasted energy. Do not be impressed with anyone that tells you that their unit can draw 15 amps, all amperage over 7-10 is simply wasted energy and you get into a lot of problems with water vapor, thermal runaway, and explosions ect.
Field Test: Does it work!
The HHO did work better than the old air injection types with the passive fan blade plate that mounted under the carburetor/fuel injection unit, and the ever popular water mist injection system that went between the air filter and the carb/fuel via a rubber hose. This injected a water mist into the fuel system from a gallon jug. Also the "gas fortifier pills", "fuel line magnets", "turbo air cleaner inserts" and "super-mileage carburetors".
anti-gravity: Do you feel a matrix coming on, the HHO system is humming the car seems lighter and some how we have nullifyed gravity. I wondered from the glare of the digital gas mileage display is this HHO system some kind of a UFO technology.
Out Of Control HHO generator:
If you are producing enough HHO that the "Check engine light comes on" and the Oxygen (O2) sensors start asking the ECU to richen the fuel mixture, your HHO maybe operating at the edge of a themo-hydrogen melt down and who knows what all kinds of corrupt gas's,gunk,and metal plate parts are flooding the engine.
MAP/MAF Sensor Enhancer isn't needed with a clean operating HHO unit:
Upon combustion there is no residual amount of either H2 or O2.. The exhaust oxygen content (lambda) sensor of a vehicle would be completely unaffected by the introduction of HHO to the intake air charge. A lambda sensor's reaction to rapidly moving h20 vapour is no different to its reaction to co2.
EXTRA PARTS THAT WILL APPEAR ON FUTURE UNITS:
A temperature thermo switch install in the hydrogen reactor so that you can observe the operating temp of the unit, these systems function a little bit better once they are heated up to about a temp of 120 degrees. However you would not want to over heat the unit to more than 160 Degrees. A cooling system. Flow thru meter type 1/min air liters 1-10 LPM/AIR stainless steel connections. A bubbler (water filled tank) to prevent back-fires or a Flash back/killer or check valve. ON/OFF 30 Amp Relay.
A 30amp or better Pulsating Width Modulator device to decrease the amp draw with a fan, this keeps the HHO system cooler and increase the production of Hydrogen with lower amps.
HHO ADDITIVES WINTERIZE:
Denatured alcohol as anti-freeze agent to keep the water from freezing in the winter
HHO Safety Extras:
HHO Reactors from the very simple to the more complex will have some of these gauges showing up on the car dash. Like a thermo switch sensor/Water Temp, air vacuum, air pressure inside the canister, amp, flow-thru meter, voltage meter, on the panel you'll need a HHO OFF/ON switch to a 30 amp relay. A 1-15 VOLT/DC 30amp varible PWM controller this will allow you to vary the voltage +- to the HHO unit also, Without these it will be hard to keep control of the HHO generator or you could put your car/yourself at risk.
They are several devices that are going to cost you "extra" and should to be install, because sooner or later there may be a fluid leak into the intake manifold from a over filled HHO and one type of mix used makes the popular potassium Hydrogen this will desolve a aluminum Cola can in five minutes, think what it would do to a aluminum engine. More than likely using a HHO system they will be a engine blowback (spark) causing a manifold explosion when you turn the ignition key ON blowing the intake manifold off the engine, followed by electrolysis hot mix water splashing all over the wiring and everything else under the hood. The explosion is cause by unvented Hydrogen gas leaking from the HHO generator into the manifold when the engine is shutdown or the HHO unit was left on after turning the ignition switch OFF. NEVER LEAVE KEY ON without engine running since HHO will still be producing!!! Monitoring the temp. So that you don't have a over-heating thermo melt down.
Trip Computer Instant MPG Computer Display
Showing 60.1 MPG
Factory Installed Display!!
HHO (H2) System With A Real Gas Savings.
IMPRESS YOUR FRIENDS WITH PROOF BY SWITCHING THE HHO OFF and ON:
They are many 1997 and up car models that have the factory installed "Average MPG And Instant MPG Computer Display" shown here, also you can purchase a MPG Computer display that works with most cars called a ScanGuage 2. you can actual see the instant Mpg display jump ten Mpg or more when you turn ON the HHO reactor.
Since 1996, all cars and light trucks sold in the US have been required by law to have an On-Board-Diagnostic version 2 (OBD2 or OBD II) connector inside the passenger compartment. It is required to provide diagnostic information and allow resetting of the CHECK ENGINE light. It also provides a lot of other operating information.
The OBD2 connector is supposed to be located within 4' of the steering column. It is usually under the dash and just to the right or left of the steering column. Sometimes it will have a cover over its face. Other locations are under the dash on the passenger side under the dash, behind the ash tray and in a rare case, under the ash tray in the back seat armrest.
If your car reports information on fuel consumption (99% of cars and light trucks do), it can be used to adjust your driving habits, you can save a lot of fuel. Also you can read the instant MPG gauge, the reading changes very quickly with slight changes in throttle, you can also use the avg TRIP MPG function.
TRICKS-SECRETS-HINTS-MODS:
Go with "Nitro Fill" and you will get better gas mileage. Nitrogen is becoming a very popular replacement for air in tires, and for good reason, with proper inflation procedures and adequate purity nitrogen can provide amazing benefits. Converting to nitrogen can improve your fuel economy by up to 10% and increase your tire life by 30% or more while dramatically increasing the safety of your vehicle.
Low-rolling resistance (LLR) tires - narrow, stiffer tires have less drag and again they will be 10% fuel gain by using these tires.
Install solar panels on your car to help power a portion of the heating and air conditioning. Save gas by letting your alternator idle.
Best Electrodes you can use to make HHO plates are Platinum..Catalytic Converters have platinum, if you open one up you'll see what looks like 1000's of gold window screens, they are a mix of metals coated on the screens. If The platinum and other metals could be remove by a very complex process it would only be worth $20.00 (Catalytic Converters are stolen for resale not for the metals inside) To use the catalytic screens for HHO generator plates wouldn't be safe with a coating of platinum, rhodium and other metals (wait a minute rhodium can be nasty stuff). Precautions: Compounds that contain rhodium are not often encountered by most people and should be considered to be highly toxic and carcinogenic. Rhodium compounds can stain human skin very strongly. This element plays no biological role in humans.
You might be thinking the more HHO the better:
Not necessarily so... You want to keep your HHO less than 4% fuel mixture. Anything over 4% and your getting too much combustion.
Care should be exercised with mass air flow injected vehicles.The mass air sometimes uses a hot wire in the intake to sense airflow.These have ignited ether and throttle-body cleaner when sprayed into the intake.
This wire sensor could cause an explosion, or flashback with HHO. That leaves the space between that sensor and the throttle body as safe. Don’t hook up on the upstream side of that sensor (air filter)! If you don’t know vehicles, you need to find someone local who can help you out on where to put the HHO gas into this type of airflow.
Modifying your engines fuel/air induction systems.
Intake manifold vacuum leaks.
Large vacuum leaks can make a car run too lean causing it to run rough or in severe cases melt the top of the spark plug or piston. There is no reason to add the HHO gas directly into the manifold, the electrolyzer should make enough gas to drag water vapor between your engine air filter (downside) and the throttle body without making a giant vacuum leak in your manifold.
WARNING: YOU MUST REMEMBER TO TURN THE HHO UNIT OFF WHEN NOT IN USE AND NEVER TURN THE HHO UNIT ON WITHOUT FIRST HAVING YOUR ENGINE RUNNING.
You are creating hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis; during this process you create HEAT... If you leave the unit on let’s say overnight, you WILL kill your battery’s charge and overheat the unit to include boiling out all of the electrolyte and when you start your car it will blow. To avoid this problem, you can connect your unit-relay using an Add-A-Circuit Fuseholder for ATO/ATC Fuses This ingenious device allows quick and easy installation of additional accessories without the need for splicing and can be purchased at just about any auto parts store for about $5.00... What this does is make the HHO Gen relay turn on/off through the ignition key.
If your running any hydrogen fuel cell with a pulse width modulation system you will need a cooling fan for the heat sink to send air to the PWM so that it does not overheat. Mount the cooling fan inside your electronics box or against the PWM heatsink for max airflow.
Each HHO has its own electrolysis water requirement, more amps require more water to keep it cool at 15 amps plus you would need a circulate water pump between another tank to keep the water cool. A good starting point would be Four liters of water produces HHO gas which can literally last for months for some HHO units (It's a good ideal to change the electrolysis water every 3 weeks) and this will significantly increase your vehicle's fuel efficiently in some units.
O2sensors basicly send electrical pulses to the autos ECM. These signals can easily be duplicated with a potentinometer (pot). A proper base line reading of your untampered with o2sensor voltage is needed before hooking up any kind of a fooler, but once you know what the voltage should read, it is easily to duplicated using a flashlight battery and a pot. The current draw is minimal and a small battery will last for months.
O2 Sensors problem:
Try covering your O2 sensors with aluminum foil 3-4 times then tie the foil covering with a stainless steel wire to keep it in place and it will fool the ECU into detecting lesser Oxygen, thus will lean out your gas and let your hydrogen generator deliver more HHO to your engine.
Its possible to use a metal stainless steel cannister, where the cannister is one electrode and then have a second one inside. Just make sure the cannister is the anode (negative) because otherwise the cannister will slowly dissolve.
Don’t use a cell that seals all of their joints with epoxy! Epoxy is not meant to be submersed into water it will actually dissolve and break down over time. The only real way to put together clear cells is through solvent welding with a special chemical that actually makes the pieces fuse together to form one solid piece.
316L Stainless Wires:
Stainless steel 316L makes a good cheap wire for a HHO generator. what is the difference between 316 and 316L? The 316L has a lower carbon content(.03) than the 316(.08), which makes for a higher resistance to corrosion which gives longer life.
Don’t throw away the waste water from the hho generator if using stainless steel, it leachs out hazardous material - hexavalent chromium - which causes cancer. Take it to your nearest hazardous waste station.
More hints later..
2,000 USD HHO Generator Plates:
One needs to make the water conduct electricity to make the two gasses. Usual lab generation uses platinum electrodes. Priced this metal recently? Try $2000 an ounce. It is not used up, so at the end it can be sold again. Platimum or other 'noble metals' will make electrodes that last. Any other material will rapidly deteriorate under the conditions found in electrolysis, including stainless steel.
