I'm running parallel plates; as many as I can fit into a 3" pvc pipe. I mount the tubes horizontally so that the bubbles do not "back up" on the plates and cause etching and heat. My spacing is...

I'm back. Thanks for the long winded reply. I couldn't even finish reading it. As follow-up: I insulated the cells with fiberglass house insulation and never had an issue all last winter. I'll...
If you choose to go parallel in a bath system, it's best to divide the voltage before the cell. That way you can use as much plate surface as possible. I found that using two 1 ohm 225w resistors...
I drove my Jeep Liberty down to Waldorf, 5.5 hour run, for it's very first freeway run. It took me six months (with hho running) of learning and tinkering with circuits and sensors to finally crack...
I run low voltage and get little to no brown sludge. When I was running 12vdc across the cells, the sludge appeared very quickly. I use a palm sander with 80 grit on the plates, then while wearing...
For voltage control use ohms law to create a voltage divider network. For current control, do the same thing. The result will be a high wattage, low ohm resistance in series with a brute force...
I fill my bubblers with -20 windshield washer fluid and have no problems. We've had many days and nights below (way below) freezing. I use about 4 tlbs of KOH per liter of water, or more. Not real...
My understanding of diatomic (two atoms) vs monotomic (one atom) hydrogen is that diatomic is produced from the recombining of the split atoms when the voltage is above the 1.5 to 2vdc range. The...
I always error on the side of negative plates. If I have room for an odd number of plates for example; -+-+- will be my config. I used to run with -N+N-N+N-, or two neutrals in between my...
With this system I've documented MPG savings of >40% in my F150 and so far 30%+ in my Z24.
Total wattage used from the electrical system is about 200 watts. When I experimented with series cells,...
I got my first results from my Cavalier yesterday. My base results where 23mpg with "normal driving", combination of back roads /up & down the hills, city and some highway. I've been driving this...
When I first learned of HHO I stood over a plastic jar encased generator and bubbler. I pulled the small tube out of the bubbler (folgers can w/ water) and commenced to try to light it as I pinched...
It takes me about 2 hours to make a quart of high quality Colloidal silver solution. The silver is suspended, positively charged particles, or so I've read. I haven't tried it yet, but I would...
Yea, I know what you mean. Unfortunately I already smoked two alternators with high current cell tests. My tests indicate,rule-o-thumb, 20 amps is max for the "extra" load above factory design. ...
Fisher, I agree with your basic electricity analogy. Comparing water flow as electricity flow is very fitting.
When I look at what it might involve to get a working 4' long pipe cell to work...

I count both sides of a plate as usable surface area if there is adjacent plates in the configuration. I have a cell in service that has three plates, 1.5"X10", -+- in a 2" pvc "T" style cell case. ...
Why 4' long? You would have some resistive current drop across the length of the pipe which could lead to inefficiency. The HHO formed at the bottom of the pipe would need to go up and out and...
Lastic,
By using ten gauge silver electrodes in distilled water, you produce a colloidal silver solution. A tasty addition to anyone's medicine chest. The negative electrode will produce...
Anyone try colloidal silver in the electrolyte solution to electroplate the negative plate with silver for better life and conduction? I've been wanting to try this. A natural antimicrobial...
The resistors (1 ohm & 5 ohm) are bolted together in parallel. This makes a single .83 ohm resistor for the circuit. (R1*R2/R1+R2 or 5/6=.83333)
This is then wired in series with the cell; in...
Almost forgot, most 1 ohm power resistors are under $20 from Newark.com (compare to a pwm price). I also hooked in parallel a 1 ohm and 5 ohm resistors to get a .8 ohm "controller". You could also...
I was frustrated with the pwm's so I referred to ohms law for an alternative. The point of using a pwm is to limit/control the current and control thermal runaway, correct? Thermal runaway happens...
This is the schematic I used as an outline for the efies I made. The resistors values can be varied based on what you have laying around and what voltage source you use. Just make sure the pot...
I installed a MAP adj on my truck in the summer and had no luck with saving fuel. I removed it and am only running an efie. I could adjust the MAP voltage and effect the runnability of engine. If...
