4000 Watts hydrogen generator HHO

[HHOGAS]

The plates that are connected with the two nuts and bolts should be non-electrical conductive. It should be nylon so there is no electrical current short between the positive and the negative plates. If using a metal bolt it needs to be covered with a plastic pipe preventing the plates from touching the mounting bolt that holds all of the plates together.

I was doing this 20 years ago, I stopped doing it with stainless steel after learning that the water becomes contaminated with chromium and becomes hazardous waste. Carbon or graphite is better to use.

Nice Vid!😀
Takes me back to when I used to do this stuff. I began over 10 years ago.
You can produce the HHO, but it's not safe, takes lots of energy to produce, and loses efficiency quickly -unless you can get your hands on some platinum plates. Platinum plates won't break down during electrolysis, so no more brown muck from degraded Stainless Steel plates!
Also, what you have here is a wet cell. A dry cell would work out better, and allow you to control the voltage better. Basically, you need to find the sweet spot (can't recall if it's about 2.2V between plates) to balance productivity and heat. The whole thing goes REAL deep!
Sigh; it takes a lot of work to get things going right. After which, you learn that your car will fight against you because of the excess Oxygen produced. Yes, the ECU will soon try to set your results back to stock.
So, you will need to separate the HH from the O. That means special membranes, that cost....
I finally stopped after realizing that I could simply make pure hydrogen using water + aluminum + drain cleaner. Even then, it's hard to control, unless you powderize the aluminum. But doing that can be costly and dangerous -going into bomb-making territory. Not something I wanna tangle with.
I finally gave up on HHO ad Hydrogen. It ate a LOT of my time, but I also learned a lot while doing it.
Best I ever got was about 50mpg, I think.

I was working at a hydrogen start up company in Toronto, same concept, but what they do is use thicker steal plates that they CNC channels to allow for more surface area of metal to water to increase efficiency.

Use nylon bolts to hold cell together. Shorting plates to each other.

Made one of these with stainless steel wire ...gets an additional 6 -8 MPG on my 2002 Jeep GJ WJ
Additionally it cleans out all the carbon in the engine ...Jeep runs great ...90, 000 mile since the last tunup

I’ve done this exact experiment. I used stainless steel wire 3/16 diameter and probably took I think 5 feet I had to been to the specific way, but I did put a neutral in between two different polls. There is one flaw in that design once the water temperature exceeds that a boiling a chemical reaction changes, and becomes extremely unstable.

HHO gas is quite explosive, however, it can be used to cut or weld. If you want pure hydrogen, you need two 4 inch plastic tees. These should be oriented so that the two tees are connected with a 4 inch piece of pipe, and that the bottom ends have fittings, with removable caps, ( for cleaning).
The two tees should each have the third opening, oriented straight up, to create two “chimney”.
Add about 12 inches of 4 inch pipe, to each tee, and
Top each one with a female 4 inch cap, and male plug cap. Drill 2 holes in each plug. One for a wire, and one for a tube, ( one side will produce pure Hydogen, while the other side will produce pure oxygen). These gasses can be moved into a bag, or other suitable container, with the use of diaphragm pump, and stored. This tube is filled with water, and so the two anodes, which are put only a few inches below the water level, connect electrically, through the water, below, however the two gasses are separated because of the shape of the apparatus (called a Bowman’s apparatus), and the fact that all gasses rise, in a liquid. 😁

The two screws in the middle are creating a direct short between the plates because each screw is touching both positive and negative plates because they are not insulated from touching the plates at the threads pass through areas!

Very interesting !
You've done almost everything correct so far... NO glass jars, a bubbler and a battery....
however you need to remember that even though the HHO makes the engine run smoother
you will not gain anything in gas mileage unless you reduce the gasoline going into the engine.
(everyone forgets that!) if your putting 20 mpg through the carb and add HHO your gas mileage will still show 20MPG ! so you must reduce that amount of gasoline to see better gas mileage. I liked your 1st cell the best, adding the neutral plates in my opinion is a waste of time, your better off just having them all +_+_+_+_+_ through the stack and you did that fantastically !.... Now Plate AREA (surface area of the plates) does relate to how much HHO is produced but only a small amount what has the bigger influence is amperage !
and the closer spacing of the plates of the cell you have the ability to create a heck of alot of HHO there .... if you put 200AMPS of DC into that cell (with larger wires ) you may well be able to run that car without ANY Gasoline ! ....
I made a cell, reduced the gasoline going into the engine and achieved 45~48 MPG on a R22 toyota pickup back in the 1980's I figured I needed 12 LPM to achieve running without
so I started building cells and getting a 200amp alternator.. SHTF and I never completed the but, It Can be done ! .... you must keep the cells clean though I cleaned mine about once a month and I used KOH as the electrolyte and adjusted the amperage to 40amps to the cell and I was putting out 4LPM....to achieve that gas mileage.

Even though you separated the plates, don't the 2 connecting metal bolts contact all the plates creating a short circuit?

[mixailsarmazov]

You most place metal bolts in plastic pipes, isolate heads and nuts and after place tham all in holes in plates.

The frequency used in a hydrogen generator can affect the yield of gas, but it is not the only factor that determines the efficiency of the electrolysis process. Other factors such as the voltage, current, electrode materials, and the quality of water used can also affect the yield.

In general, higher frequencies can increase the rate of gas production, but there is an optimal frequency for each hydrogen generator design that maximizes the gas yield. The optimal frequency can vary depending on the size and configuration of the electrodes, the distance between the electrodes, and the properties of the electrolyte solution.

Typically, the frequency range for electrolysis of water is between 50 Hz to 10 kHz, but some designs may operate at higher frequencies. It's important to note that the use of high frequencies can also increase the risk of electrical arcing between the electrodes, which can damage the electrodes and reduce the overall efficiency of the system.

If you are designing your own hydrogen generator, it is recommended to experiment with different frequencies while monitoring the gas yield and the overall efficiency of the system. This will help you determine the optimal frequency for your specific setup.

I love the production of hydrogen and the use of a spark to cut the power at the beginning of the video.

i put my setup in a clear undersink water filter assembly (thick clear plastic)and held everything together with neoprene washers and nuts/bolts as to not touch the 2. have 1/4" bolts coming out the top of the filter system so i can hook up everything and it already has 3/4" adapters for hoses on top of the undersink water filter unit.

In conventional direct current electrolysis, various experimenters achieved a doubling of the gas volume at the same input power when a strong magnetic field acted parallel to the direction of flow of the ions of the electrolyte, i.e. in the same direction. The Lorentz force created a vortex (torsion) on the ions. The magnetic field was generated by neodymium permanent magnets. It was crucial that the correct electrical polarity was applied to the plates. If this is wrong compared to the north and south poles of the magnets, the gas evolution is lower.
All processes of gas evolution take place in the Helmholtz bilayer. The Debuye length is also decisive there; thus, among other things, also the plate spacing.
The amount of gas emitted can be increased if the electrodes of the electrolyzer are provided with carbon felt. The carbon pores thus increase the total area of the electrodes. A significant increase with high coefficients of performance (COP values) in gas yield is said to occur when the electrolyzer is charged when switching from direct current to nanopulses. This is what two Indian researchers claim. Figure 6 of their paper shows that nanopulse electrolysis is 31.56 times (3156%) more effective than conventional DC electrolysis at the same input power. The extremely steep nanopulses literally exert karate blows on the electrolyte molecules. Of course, this is only possible if space energy makes a significant contribution; because there is no such thing as perpetual motion.

Good job on the diy! Curious, why not run two separate chambers, one + and one -, that way one chamber produces pure H and the other O2?

[paulshull]

Thank You, for your video. Just a little tip on drilling stainless. If you will use water in-lieu of WD40, it won't get as hot & will help your drill bits out. Cutting stainless as well. Learned this years ago from a guy on utoob that worked with alot of stainless & its saved him time cutting and drilling & money for bits and jigsaw blades. Again, nice video!! 👍👍

[buttondeity]

good job man, you are very resourceful! i see your electricity is pretty well all provided by the battery pack
