Hi all,
I am quite new to this forum and very much interested in the HHO venture. Appreciate the great work being done around the world for this good cause and for a greener future. However, few thoughts came to my mind that could be worth sharing,
1. Using an oscillating plate current through the cell ? Has anyone tried this before?. The electrodes (cathode and anode) being the same material (SS316L), will alternately produce O and H on the plates. Being an alternating current will reduce the cell's capacitive effects and increases efficiency. Believe it will also reduce electrode oxidation and formation of residues due to impurities. The challenge will be to arrive at the optimum oscillating frequency.
2. Has anyone tried controlling the PWM's dutycycle in relation to the engine RPM?. I have almost finished designing a microcontroller based CCPWM module that prevents battery draining at low rpms due to lower power generation by the alternator. The following is what I have introduced in the code,
---- incorporate a linear dutycycle function between two settable RPMs eg; NL=1000 (idling engine speed) and NH=1800 (speed at which alternator is at rated capacity and the regulator kicks-in to maintain around 14VDC for a 12VDC system) and at NL the dutycycle will be maintained at 10% and above NH the dutycycle will be at 100%. In between these limits the dutycycle varies linearly ie; from 10 to 100%.
Any thoughts or suggestion is very much appreciated.
