My new cell

[m_1000rr6]

Hello,

I noticed that in the construction of your cell, you didn't insulate the lower "strap" that spans across the lower plates. I am assuming that this may be the cause of your high amp draw as the current is "leaking" and causing a short circuit. I would try to insulate that lower area on the strap directly below the plates.

yup! 7 amp on a scooter battery, i know that its a lot and thats why i would like to work with a max of 4 amps, the battery is capable of 11amps but i dont want to drain it dead

Can you reduce the amount of baking soda? If you can, that will bring the amp draw down.

Hi guys, finally i found this forum!

This is my new cell, i am completing it tonight, its gonna be installed on my 2 stroke 180cc scooter!
At the moment i have another cell installed but not very happy with it

What do you think about this?

I have a 2t as well. What about the oil needed?

Oil?

That goes in the engine, not the hho generator!


But seriously,
Every instruction I've seen tells to clean off all oil from the plates. What oil are you talking about?

Since the scooter uses a 2-cycle engine, I'd guess he's talking about the oil that you mix into the fuel to lubricate the rings and pistons on a normal gas-burner. Since the hydroxy cell will reduce fuel consumption it will also reduce the amount of oil that's carried through the engine with the fuel. This could lead to major problems down the road....it's the very reason I haven't played with HHO on a 2-stroke yet.

You can get oil injection conversion kits for some 2-cycle engines (a SeaDoo I once had used one) so that could be a solution. It injects the lube oiol directly into the airstream so you can run pump gas instead of pre-mixing your oil and fuel.

You also should seal the plates to prevent voltage loss and heat buildup.

Yes What he said!

With oil injection and because HHO runs cooler this may work fine on a 2t.

Or you can calculate how much leaner your gasoline will be and add a higher level of 2 cycle oil to your fuel to compensate. Let's say you get 50% fuel savings... Instead of adding 1 unit of oil to a gallon of gas, add 1.5 units of oil to a gallon of gasoline. That will ensure the same amount of 2 cycle engine oil is getting to the cylinders.
