Can I run my generator on hho gas?

[markhill]

I connected my HHO generator output to fuel line that went to fuel tank. Then I took a peice of cardboard and covered air intake by 50%. This allowed for the correct fuel to air ratio. The engine governor will maintain proper RPM’s for your Frequency 60hz
=3600 Rpm in US.
My generator runs for many hours on a gallon of water mixture. My HHO Generator draws about 12 amps.
I have a 960 amp battery hooked to a 30 amp battery charger that is plugged into generator that maintains battery charge level. The battery charger only draws 210 watts from the 4kw generator. I used dual water filter assembly to build HHO generator, one is HHO generator and the other filter case is water bubbler. Both are mounted on top of 4kw generator where the fuel tank used to be. Battery and charger are also mounted in same box on top. I use it to run my camper when I go boon-docking. I have run generator for 4 days straight. I added a extra tank for water and electrolyte as needed so I don’t have to get up in middle of night. I’m in the process of building a bigger HHO generator for a 10kw generator for my house.

Hook the HHO line to the carburetor fuel line and restrict the intake by half like that guy in Spain did. There you have throttle control. One third of the gas in free oxygen so the engine does not need to breathe as much atmosphere. So don't forget to half way block the intake.

I built one like this. Cut my fuel bill in half. A 9 cell generator. Swapped out the 304 with 316 as it tarnished quickly. I used Epsom salts for conductivity. Been toying with the idea of running my gennie as well 👌

Best HHO snake oil I have seen so far!!

IF you do not change your ignition timing then AT BEST the engine will run roughly.
The problem vs gasoline is that hydrogen needs to be lit later in the engine cycle.
It takes a long time for gasoline to completely burn which is why the spark is initiated much earlier.
Hydrogen burns in a fraction of the time so what happens is max cylinder pressure is reached prior to the piston reaching TDC thus if there is not enough momentum to keep the engine rotating the engine is stopped due to pressure.
The spark timing of a petrol engine is 10 degrees or so prior to TDC whereas you need to light the mixture at TDC.

To make it work you have to have the carburetor choke off half way with a piece of card board. Take off the air filter cover half with a piece of cardboard in there and put the air filter back on and run it. It can only run on the HHO gas if it is choked off.

With my battery charger hooked to 4kw generator, I have around 3790 watts.
The manufacturer says at 50% load it will use 1.5 gallons of gas in 10 hours.
At 50% load of HHO, It uses around 1.5 liters HHO/ min.
I still have 2kw of power left. I did put a 3200 watt load on generator for 1 hour.
To get 10 hours using more than 50% load I will need around 3.5 gallons of water and electrolyte.
Still working on lower amp draw on battery.

Idea: Quit trying to make the generator make its own hydrogen while running… instead make the hydrogen separately using solar or wind power. Then tune the generator to run 100% on hydrogen.

You’ll ideally need to compress the hydrogen into a tank, so you’d need a decent sized battery bank that is recharged with the solar/wind and DC compressor. I think this is how the energy observer is making its own hydrogen to be stored for use in its electric engine fuel cell set up.

hydrogen has a faster flame speed than gasoline, diesel etc. ignition timing has to be changed closer to TDC, plus a carburetor is not needed, you have to change the fuel delivery system to a cng or lpg type setup.

If you build a hydrogen cell with neutral plates, one side of a neutral plate will only produce hydrogen, the other side of the neutral cell will only produce oxygen. If you do that setup for the plates you can then build gaskets with separated ports - one direction pure oxygen - the other side of the cell Hydrogen only. Then you could run straight hydrogen into the generator. Also if you get a couple of powerful magnets and put them on each side of the hydrogen cell plates - the extra magnetic electric current will boost production of the cell.

That single-hole you have going into the carburetor in that piece of clear PVC you need a second hole so you can regulate air as much as fuel

Thanks for the video, quick point, did you know, you can buy a triple fuel carburettor, for most generators motors, from Chinese manufacturers sites, which I won't mention, as I will be deleted for commercial content, that allows you to run unleaded petrol, LPG and Natural Gas. The Natural Gas ability is the pest, since it is low pressure and would suit brown gas or hydrogen.
With your current setup, connect everything up as you had it, restrict your intake to 50%, and add a valve on your gas hose going to the generator and allow your hydrogen generator to build up a little gas pressure against the gas production and water pressure, before turning the tap on, then, before attempting to start the engine, open the valve slightly to release a constant flow of gas.

1. To prevent heat use a lower power setting. It will not generate as much hydregon but is safe.
2. Make another electrolysis unit and hook it up to the same gas liine. This will double the fuel to the engine. Keep making and adding more units until you create enough to run the motor unstarved, like it was on gas.

USE A SMALLER HOSE FEEDING INTO THE FUEL LINE! 1/4 inside diameter should be fine. AND KEEP THE LENGTHS SHORT! You don't want the hho having to travel 10 feet before arriving at the engine. Keep it under a foot or less.

What elecrolyte is the best, this thing blew my mind, watching from Kenya Africa

[fuelban]

Opposing flow holes restrict flow, use straight through holes, ... Think flow, if you had to run a football field side to side you're going to create less to.. straight thro... And better one 10 mm flow hole for example than 2 or 3 smaller hole's. For example.. sizes only.. choose you're own hole size to suite flow rate, which reflects plates surfaces...
Good video..

You need more plates and more water. Use distilled with just a little potassium hydroxide. And use stainless steel 304.
The water's quality affect the amperage problem/ require more energy problem. YOU MUST USE DISTILLED, and keep minerals away. They lower the waters resistance. I read somewhere that the best water was ocean water.
Im going to be buying a 3000 watt and do away with the utility company. They're raising rates by 75% here in Cali and solar energy is not reliable enough. Cloudy days. Rain. Get a spare too. And power everything from water.

Get a 2 wheeler gas conversion kit. Fit the setup to the carburettor. It will work.

Is the genertor a 2 stroke or 4 stroke. Lubricating oil is normally added with the fuel. I cant see hydrogen alone providing enough lubrication in the long run. 4 stroke engine should work.
