First off, Hi to every one. My current HHO project is on an '06 dodge 5.9 cummins. I used a modified Smacks design with somewhat low output as the truck is still under warrenty. I got a small gain in fuel economy.
Problems: I need too many amps for good output (20-30) and with this comes too much heat in the way of boiling water.
I am attempting to remedy this by making a more effecient Generator wich will be ready for installation today. I plan to start with 5/6 amps cold or or even less if it produces bubbles. Tomarow I will be pulling four horses 1,200 miles with this truck nonstop.
My question is simple but might not have a simple answer. It doesn't have to do with my current project but possible future projects.
Why DC current and not AC?
I could see that DC is the only option if one is attempting to capture only one of the gases produced, hydrogen or oxygen. With AC, the current might cause each plate to alternate production of both gases. Not a problem for a container collecting both.
Any thoughts?
