Hello all,
i've been reading a lot about hho now and I think it's time for me to interact.
First, introduction. I'm Mauro, from Argentina and I'm 29 years old. Have no college degree or education but I'm very confident that sometimes a mind crowded with knowledge looses the capacity of concentration.
So this post is intented to summarize a little bit all the concepts behind the build up of an "entry level" hho gen.
To start I want to say that in my opinion, the are two MAJOR things that need to be considered before starting a project related to HHO and I would like to start this debate by making some statements based on the most credible information I could collect.
1- EFFICIENCY
From what I read, the goal here is to generate more LPM with less AMP being drawed from the power source.
For this to be possible I would need to:
- Use a Dry Cell
- Keep in mind that the cell should always be cooled or have some cooling system added to my generator (like a water radiator).
- Use only 28% electrolite solution in my water reservoir.
- Have only 2volt per cell system, adding more or less "neutral plates" given the input voltage.
- Dry cell shape must be hexagonal, round or "house shaped" to help the gas flow to the top exit hole.
- Keep the water reservoir up and the cell down so there's a decent water flow into the circuit, also helping with the cooling process.
2- STORAGE
I believe this is the KEY step that MUST be considered for anyone that has the idea of powering something with this gas.
So here are my questions regarding this:
- Everyone speaks of 10PSI, 15PSI.. some dare to go to 60 PSI. A regular car propane system works at 200PSI at the very least. Would it be possible to go that far with HHO?
- In the events of building up pressure, is it safe to say that if I want to store HHO at 200psi or whatever I would have to build water reservoir, cell, cooler and everything that can sustain 200psi? or is there another way of doing this whithout the need of a complex pressure safe system like using an air compressor and hooking the compressor input to the generators output?
Lastly I would like to ask two simple questions regarding my first cell build.
What happens if I use the water reservoir as bubbler? would the small pressure build up on the bubbler (let's say I use it for a torch, no storage system) have any effects on the cell?
Aaaaaaaand.. When powering a combustion engine, it has been told that I would need to produce per minute half the engine's cc. But is this to run the engine 100% on hho or just as a add-on to the gasoline?
I really hope we can keep this ontopic so most of this questions are answered not only for me, but for every amateur out there.
Cheers and good day!
