Hydrogen Generator Components Explained

Filed under: Water Fuel 

Here is my hydrogen generator, as it will go into the Saturn SL2. The HHO generator is on the right and is filled quite full with water. The gas and some liquid travels through the upper tube into the filter. Most of the water is deposited into the filter housing and migrates back into the GEN by way of the tube at the bottom. It is important that we do not filter all of the water vapor, as that aids in combustion.

    2. Hmm interesting thoughts on the subject.

    I wonder if Meyer’s “cold” process has the same effect of creating the hex-chromium; as, I recall him saying in his process, the water just turns back into water. I’m still going through his New Zealand home-meet vid.

    Nah, gov’t isn’t so concerned about safety as they are about incoming cash, and they aren’t going to do what the people aren’t demandg Which, i find ironic: if every home in the U.S. had free energy, we’d be swimming in rivers of $.

    3. I should mention I found this chromium article while looking into the reverse rusting processes. I realized that many unsuspecting indiviuals could be endagering their health and should know what electricity and SS produces. I would love beleive that the Govt is not doing these HHO units because they are getting big kickbacks from the oil companies and they might,but it maybe also be that these are too dangerous for joe public to fool with at this point in time…

    4. I would assume that any metal would work as what you need is electrodes to charge the liquid to break down the compositions to make the gasses..drawback is corrosion..on the other hand, replacing a brass or zinc plate maybe safer than dealing with hexavalent chromium (see “erin brokovich” the movie)
    I love the hho idea.I have 18 plates of 304 for a generator on hold but because of the drawbacks.Could the answer be design a unit with safer electrodes that can be easily replaced?

    5. I see you opposing the use of stainless steel electrodes for electolysis, but I don’t see you offering up a better, cleaner alloy that effectively produces the HHO, AND remains resistant to corrosion and chromium pollutant side-effects which you site.

    Can you suggest a better metal?

    6. Why you should not use stainless steel electrodes for electrolysis. The main problem with using it is the hazardous waste it produces. Stainless steel contains chromium. chromium is consumed, and you end up with poisonous chromates in your electrolyte. Dumping these down the drain is illegal. The compounds can cause severe skin problems and ultimately, cancer. Hexavalent chromate is poisonous.
    Does your electrolyte turn yellow? That’s a sign of chromates

    7. Sometimes Youtube doesn’t post comments. This was the case when I tried to reply to your question. I never got back to reply, sorry. Glad to hear you found your answer :)

    8. ITS OK i HAVE SEEN YOUR REPLY TO THIS FROM ANOTHER PERSON THANK YOU.

    9. why do you need a filter????

    10. If you use non-ss bolts, make sure that ALL exposed surfaces of the bolt are completely isolated from your liquid.

    11. are the bolts going into the cell ss aswell or is that not as important as the plates being ss.

    12. The Gas only makes the gasoline burn more completely. You have two options….1 gain HP and not MPG, or gain MPG and not HP. To gain MPG, most cars need O2 enhancers. Cost to purchase an entire system is ~400 and will save you ~30% on highway driving. Less in city driving. If you have a lead foot, then you don’t want to save fuel.

    13. Now, is this generator actually used to help fuel the car and if so, what kind of mileage (on average) would it give a small to mid size car? Given all that, and ignoring the cost of set-up and initial materials, would this be a cost effective system as compared to paying $4.25+ a gallon for gas alone. Sorry if I sound a bit pessimistic, but I like what you’re doing and just want to get some of the finer details worked out. Thanks.

    14. Basically, yes.

  14. cocodapitbull on Mon, 6th Oct 2008 11:54 am

    15. basically how it works is that you have to input electical current to the water and then the hydrogen will separate itself from the oxygen?

    16. Want to see some unusual cell action ? See” HHo ecogreen” close-up of cell pumping with pwm…My cell design is very small but it performs like a beast..as it warms up it takes on a new life…it’s something to watch !

    17. The filter removes excess water from the outgoing gas line. You can use a bubbler for this, but the bubbler removes most of the water vapor, which I do not want to remove. This filter is almost full of water. The gas comes out of the cell and into the filter, where the excess liquid water carried in by vacuum and the force of the bubbles is filtered out. The HHO and steam are then carried into the intake. Of course, if it is extremely cold outside, the water will condense into the filter.

    18. Can you describe the components of the filter?
    Why do you need a filter?
