winter is coming

[cosimo]

I've herd all kinds of aditives to add in your electrolyte to keep from freezing. Does any one know what is the best and safest way to keep from freezing ?

I'm surfing a bit here looking for the same answer. Apparently no one knows?

Makes me wonder if this doesn't have something to do with why the auto manufacturers aren't producing anything with HHO. Other than the Acura powered supercar, The Scorpion, I haven't seen this technology used mainstream.

what happens if you throw a little anti-freeze in there?

The recommended concentration of KOH (28% by weight or roughly 2 pounds per gallon of distilled water) will not freeze in your home freezer, but I'm not sure about colder climates.

If you don't use that high of concentration or if you're still concerned, use denatured alcohol which is available by the gallon at Lowe's.

Here is a pretty good idea of how to use it:

8 ounces (1 cup) of denatured alcohol per gallon will protect against freezing down to about 10F.

16 ounces (two cups or 1 pint) per gallon of water will protect down to 0F.

24 liquid ounces (3 cups) per gallon will protect down to -15F.

and, 32 ounces (1 quart) per gallon will protect down to -30F.

WOW, 2 Pounds per gallon, What kind of amp draw is that going to create on my Cell? I just started the HHO "Trial & Error" process this spring & have been seriously wondering about Winter coming up.
I've got a "Modified" version of a smack booster in my van right now. I'm only using about 2-3 teaspoons of KOH per 2 quarts distilled water and I'm drawing 15-24 amps (cold and warm).
I can't even fathium what TWO POUNDS per gallon would do to me.
I DO have a PWM, but its not installed YET. Too many Projects, Ideas and plans going on right now. But, I Guess I'd BETTER Get the PWM Installed if I've gotta start thinking about TWO POUNDS per gallon...

What if you used window washer fluid? I do and I haven't had a freeze up yet. My hydrogen production I think is about the same. I hope it will not hurt my engine in any way.
