what's wrong

[linkintiger]

my dry cell setup 6x6 ss plates +nnnn-nnnn+ i connected straight to the car battery engine running and i connected analog amp meter on negative cable but for some reason it show only 5 amp on the meter and i am getting small amount of gas production. any idea?

whats your KOH mixture

[linkintiger]

i use 4 table spoons per 1/2 gallon of baking soda because i dont want to use KOH with my luck is to dangerous i dont want to risk it.

Use the KOH Link!

It's not dangerous...unless you get thirsty or decide to use it as eyewash.
I make my mix (28%) roughly 2Lbs of KOH to 3/4 gal of water.
Use goggles & gloves (little cuticle cuts burn if you get KOH mix on them). The initial mix will get warm while you are mixing it then cool down. If you live in a cold area this is best as it will not freeze. But you will have to use a PWM (highly recommended). If not then start low and add until you reach your desired amp draw

I'm sure I speak for every one here who has been doing this awhile, put the baking soda back in the fridge and get yourself some KOH!
Here's a link.

The only ones that use baking soda are the guys that have those 'Water for Gas" makebelieve reactors or other such nonsense.

Did I just read 2lbs to 3/4 of a gallon, that sounds insane. Are you making KOH pancakes for your HHO?

Pancakes.....hmmm
Nope making a 28% KOH mix which will not freeze. a 2 lbs container of 93% KOH flake is the size of a shampoo bottle, it won't make a paste It works like a charm and I control the amperage draw with a PWM. If you live in a location where cold is not a issue, Like some people I know of,


then I would say save the KOH & add until your happy.

28% has been the recommended mix for this by many HHO users. I'm sure that I could use less if I started adding & adding KOH until I reach my desired amps. But for me this works great.
