So, I got an incomplete HHO kit from my Dad that he bought from one of his friends before Dad went overseas for work. I believe it's a wet cell, but I'm going to complete this kit larger than needed so I can get the wet cell working and installed on my 77 GMC, then I plan on building a much larger dry cell to replace the wet. Could I use a PWM for a wet cell that would also work on a dry cell or would I have to worry about them using amp draws completely different from each other?
You can use a PWM for a wet or dry cell system. A PWM's function is the same either way. If you'd like to learn more about PWM's and how they work and the best type to get read all about them here- http://www.hydrogentech.co/hydrogen-tech-info/
Hi I'm new to this too but just wondering if this forum only dedicated hho builds for the cars. Cause I was wondering if there are easy builds not so complicated I want to use it for a torch and even thought I'm not gonna be using it every day. So if anybody can give me a easy diagram and a list of part that i would need to build. It would be much appreciated, well thanks in advance. :)Quote:

You won't save much money building one yourself the first time. There are a ton of things to consider if you are a new builder and many mistakes and frustrations to potentially encounter. A good torch reactor itself isn't going to be an easy thing to build and especially not as your first project. Yes, it will need to be "complicated" to work reliably and efficiently.
If you want quick, simple and easy your best bet is to buy a kit or piece together a kit based on research you gather here or on other sites.
Regardless, you have some reading to do...
And potassium hydroxide (KOH) is the defacto standard. Don't mess with baking soda or salt - ever. Nasty stuff with nasty results.
Ok ill be reading more and checking on the kits :)Quote:

You need a scale and to measure in grams to be accurate. If you don't have this, then start with approx 1 tbsp per gallon and work your way up from there.Quote:

Start low and work your way up.
Simple, people say this because NaHCO3 (baking soda) is easily to get. The problem with NaHCO3 is the extra CO (carbon monoxide) that is produced under electrolysis. If you use baking soda, you will eventually have NaOH (sodium hydroxide) anyway. Using baking soda will also potentially damage the surface of your electrodes and muddy your water with impurities.Quote:

I saw pottasium pills can I use that or where can I find the pure pottasium hydroxide or where do you buy yours. In any hair salon store or hardware store? :)Quote:
