HHO generator (89IROC!!!)

[Firebirdlad03]

I started working on my own concept HHO generator. I read in another post that 89iroc was going to make a concept one also. What design are you going to use? I am using a brass tube with a copper rod in the middle. I then drilled holes in the brass tube to let the gas escape and new water to circulate. I dont think copper is the best metal to use because it corrodes very fast. I am going to try the same design with a stainless steel rod in the middle. I will try to post pics or mabey a video later. When i tested it, it worked good, i was able to get the hydrogen to ignite with a match. But that was with 50 amps off of a battery charger. Anyone else have any better ideas for the cell? I wanna knoe 89irocs plans for this.

Is HHO where you basically get the hydrogen out of water and use it to power your car?

Yep. My brother in law supposedly had made one of these... even though I never saw it function. This sounds like a new project for myself... let me know how it works ... maybe get some blueprints up on here so we can see what kind of setup you are working with.

Also interested in doing this to my Geo (my daily driver). Came across this guy on YouTube. He's a little goofy, but they're some pretty interesting videos:

i have built my first array, i used steel plates from the hardware store designed to cover light switch panels. they are both on two bolts, almost stacked on each other, but seperated by nuts and nylon washers so that the alternate positive and negative. they are roughly a quarter centimeter apart. its a simple plate system, only six plates. i have yet to test it though, been to busy with other stuff.

although i have heard the most sucessful setup being used is a doubble helix design. basically two stainless steel wires, wound around a cylinder, about a quarter of a centimeter apart. one wire positive, and one wire negative. spiraling down the cylinder to the bottom. LOTS of surface area involved in that one.

generally speaking, you want to use stainless steel electrodes if at all possible, as you stated, the copper corrodes, as does carbon. also, dont use salt as a electrolyte in the water, use baking soda. it provides the path for electric flow, but isnt corrosive to the metal electrodes.

yea i have one set up already before u posted that, i wrapped stainless wire around a stainless steel electrode and put it inside a stainless tube. I have about 1/2 a cm clearance. I havent had time to test it yet but i think its better. My old one was about 8in long, this one is 6 so idk how much that will effect it. my first one i ever made i made it with the aluminum bottom of beer cans and put a bolt through the middle with nylon spacers. I only used 4 and a 9v battery to power it. I just wanted to see if i could get a few bubbles lol. and i did

i ve been working with this for a few years never able to put it on a car thow i use 2 stainless tubes one inside the other with holes drilled in them with about 1/16 of an inch of space between them works very well but the water ends up boiling and getting fommy

use a bubbler on whatever tank you plan to put it in and the foam shouldnt matter? I think thats what the concept of that is. It also acts as a pressure regulator. But I dont really know what im talking about. thats just what i heard.
