Uhhhh, just getting into this forum and the hho concept. If you have a hho generator on you vehicle, what would you do to keep it from freezing in cold weather while not running? Is there any kind of anti-freeze you can use in the water?

Won't isopropyl evaporate very quickly? Wouldn't that be a mini-still?

water, salt and a little bit of alcohol work just fine.

Doesn't salt create poisonous fumes? Another idea may be to buy some kind of coffee mug heater or such and just drop under your unit.

I wonder what would happen if you were using just water and it was a frozen block of ice and you turned the cell on?

It's not the frozen water I worry about, It's the broken case that worries me. Some who has a deep freeze needs to test the alcohol ratio to water. Even if it got slushy that would be better than a hard freeze.
