JACKPOT! - Plumabob/Smith Model Works!
Fantastic News!
My father and I have been lab partners from the beginning and we now have a generator that works. It's using the 1300 pelican box and the plate design that Mr. Smith demonstrates. It produces at about 1 LPM at a little under 13 amps and reaches a max temperature of 135 degrees. When this thing is on, you can't stand too close because you start to choke due to the high volumes of hydrogen that come out!
So my pop put this thing in his 1994 Chevy Suburban that has about (I'm not kidding) 350,000 miles on it (and it still runs fantastic). His gas mileage before the generator was about 12-13 MPG on average. Well after having completed this gem, he was a little disappointed when his MPG only went up to 15. And for some strange reason, he was smelling gasoline all the time. Well after doing some poking around after driving it for about two weeks he discovered that the gasoline smell was coming from a loose pipe nut on the fuel filter that was leaking gas all over the place!! So with spewing gasoline all over the roads of Utah, that generator was still putting him with an increase! 
So now that we've shut off our gas sprayer, I'm really excited to see what that old beast does! He affectionately refers to the Suburban as "Abraham."
I'm going to post some pictures of the generator to share. My pa and I wish to thank Mr Smith and Plumabob for their hard work and research - it has really paid off and is working like a charm. They get all the credit for this one. I'm now going to build an exact replica to try in my Grand Prix and we'll see how that does.
WOO HOO!!!! IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!
Give a man a match, and he’ll be warm for a minute, but set him on fire, and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.
