I used plain white rice, not sure of the variety. I just swiped it from the pantry and P/Oed the wife. Messed up her dinner plans that week. Each test was for about an hour of run time, on and...

I used plain white rice, not sure of the variety. I just swiped it from the pantry and P/Oed the wife. Messed up her dinner plans that week. Each test was for about an hour of run time, on and...
Believe it or not, but rice works just fine. I ran some experiments with different absorption materials a while ago but am just now getting around to posting the results. Here is what I did. A dry...
The smog comparison looked fine while editing but messed up when I posted. Here is a jpeg that is easier to look at.
So I reset the chip. This time, just like the instructions say, I waited until the engine was completely warmed up. They want the ECU to be in open loop. Before it was in closed loop. Thus the...
Since I put the Volo on, we have driven 671 miles and filled up three times. It's disappointing to report but my mileage has decreased about 12%. The one thing I can do is to reset the chip again...
Welcome SpeedGP! Your'e off to a good start. What you have built is referred to as a wet cell. (A cell that has the electrode plates submerged in a tank). I started with a similar cell and soon...
Here is another media that can be used to filter and dry out HHO. Rice. I have to thank my wife for that one. She used it to keep salt dry in humid climates. This one seems easy enough to try. ...
Also true. It seems like a matter of which filter media one likes to replace and how complex of a system one wants. Charcoal, desiccant or aluminum. All require maintenance at some point. Of the...
Yup, did that too. I ran electrolyte in my reservoir, vinegar in my bubbler with a small porous fish tank aerator and out through a desiccant filter. The thing about the vinegar bubbler is that the...
This phenomenon is referred to as a "thermal runaway". It's the same reason deep cycle rechargeable batteries get hot when charging. Remember Ohm's Law? Given a constant voltage with decreasing...
Good find Hazelton. I started with a cartridge that size. Found it at a car parts store. They are meant to be air driers for pneumatic tools. I discovered that it saturated after less than 10...
I don't know about activated charcoal, never tried it. But, if you are looking for something that changes color, desiccant works well. When completely dry its blue. When its saturated it turns...
I'm about 2/3 through my first tank fill up. Maybe around 200 miles or so. So far it seems to be working normally. The Volo's lights blink every now and then and the check engine light has not...
It's been a while since I've posted. Life happens between building and testing new cell designs. I installed a Volo FS-2 HHO in my '96 Jetta this past weekend. It went in smoothly. One of the...
Just passing on some useful information about graphite plates. Entegris is a supplier we use in the semiconductor industry. I found that they are now supplying graphite plates for fuel cells. No...
I used the same fitting that my HHO went into. In the intake duct just before the throttle body.
I actually tried this using some left over silicon wafers. Just used aligator clips and dunked a pair into a NaOh solution to see what would happen. Nothing happened. Mainly because the wafers were...
I want to baseline a new gen I'm building but I don't want the data fouled up be a modern car ECU. So I want to buy an older car without an ECU, preferably carburated, not injected.
What is the...
Answered my own question. Should have searched first, thanks Phil.

It also depends on the car. Some adapt to HHO better than others, especially older carburated ones. Building a good reactor is half of the fun. But getting a later model car's computer to cooperate...
OK, noob question: How do you mix your 25% or 28% KOH? By weight or volume? I have mixed two ways. 1. By current draw of the cell and 2. Poured in crystals until the water was saturated.
I used to use a battery charger but it kept overheating and turning off. Now I use a 13.8 vdc, 50 amp power supply made by Tripplite, model PR50. For around $275.
The last step before assembly is a solvent cleaning to pull out any oils on the plate surface. Acetone works well, Isopropyl Alcohol is also good. Some other observations I have made when...
What other parameters are you interested in? Size? Current draw? Voltage? Under the hood or in the truck bed?
His site looks like he is selling old fashioned wet cell kits. Smack wet cell knock offs. I have never heard of his ecu genie or how it performs. If he has truly built a device that can counter ecu...
