I did hours of testing, and there is no resonant frequency below 500 Khz.
I did read that water is resonant near the ghz freq's that microwave ovens operate, but that would make the water boil.
...
I did a lot of testing of PWM freq's, duty cycle. The freq (100hz-100khz) makes no difference as far as I could tell.
I personally like to run low frequencys (100hz) because the electronics are...
canpower,
I would pick the HRF3205. The .008 on resistance would allow you to draw 27 amps at a 6 watt dissipation in the device. This would allow you to run fanless with a decent heatsink.

Philldpapill,
The circuit I posted is electrically a "P", not a "PID". Essentially, a comparator that runs full blast until the temp signal from the LM324 reaches the pot voltage "setpoint", then...
If you can build stuff from a schematic, I designed a temperature feedback PWM.
The link is http://www.mikecramer.com/images/tempheater.jpg
The parts list is on this site. It's on the thread:...
I imagine that you mean the shunt on the meter. That is the chunk of metal or resistor that develops the voltage for the meter to read.
If the manufacturer designed it marginally, it probably...
jager,
I have an HHO setup in my 2003 2.3 liter Ford Ranger. Been running it for over a year now. My baseline MPG was 22 MPG with no HHO.
Using 316 plates in a +nnnn-nnnn+ arrangement spaced...
Check this out.
I think someone on this site suggested it before.

It seems that he is loading a gen, and in one test he is throwing the generated gas into the air, and feeding it back to the motor in the second.
A more informative test (IMHO), would be to run...
The output is short circuit protected.
The input max is 40 volts, If your cars electrical system gets anywhere near 40 volts, the LM317 will be the least of your problems.
Russ
The LM317 is an excellent choice, I've used them many times.
If you get on the National Semiconductor website and get the LM317 data sheet, look at the circuit labeled "precision current limiter"....
I tried to experiment with some aluminum screen seperated by fiberglass screen. Then roll the thing up to make it compact. The edges that I cut to make a 1 foot wide test hho would short out to the...
HHO BLASTER,
Very nice, very worth watching.
Russ:)
Galkaen,
Sorry haven't been on this thread for a while.
The ISL9N302AP3 should work with a good sink.
I installed the temperature feedback unit designed September 2008 and have been using it...
LOCCO,
I have been using HHO in my 2003 Ford Ranger 2.3 liter for 9 months.
There is rust in my exhaust pipe, but it is minimal. Pretty close to not running HHO, because there is water condensing...
BoyntonStu,
I posted my gains in testimonials, 8/15/08. Nothing else to say.
I added a temperature feedback circuit and winter heating element, and posted the info in other sections of this...
Looking at the patent pictorials, seems a glorified switching power supply.
Your spacing is pretty good. I use 1.7 mm..
Seems between 1-2 mm is most popular.
Painless,
A shunt will convert current to voltage through the formula E = I*R.
For example, if you use a .01 ohm shunt, and measure the voltage across it,
at 20 amps the voltage would be E =...
I think the cold weather possibly contributed to the dropoff. But not this much.
I agree with Jriggs. HHO is more expensive, energywise than gasoline to use as fuel.
It is a great catalyst, to make the gasoline burn totally.
I have a 2.3 liter and .3 liters/min HHO increased...
The batterys would discharge exactly the same.
The current being drawn in each situation is 10 amps per battery.
Mike,
One side of the generator connects directly to + 12 volts, preferably through a relay for safety. The other side of the gen connects to the - gen terminal on the PWM.
The + terminal on...
Check out McMaster carr. I can't remember for sure, but I think they were better than that.
I will vouche for their quality. I think I bought 22 ga., 2 ft. X 3 ft..
