Hello everyone,

Been busy but here's why. The trucker unit I've been working on has been installed on a 2010 International with a Cummins ISX 485.

So far, I had some problems.

First, the PWM's were burning out because the 10" by 10" cell is too large for the small PWM. The PWM is rated at 55 amps but at 50 amps the amps are peaking 100, which will cause PWM failure. Plus at 25% KOH solution, the tempeture raise causes the current of the cell to over power the PWM.

I notice with running a large cell it doesn't seem that efficient at low current, like around 30 amps. This thing can go to 100 amps with no problems. So I'm going to replace the 10x10 cell(2200 sq in. of plate area) with two 6x6 cells. Oh, the 10x10 and the 6x6's all have 13 plates, -nnnnn+nnnnn- configuration. I figure the two 6x6 sixes can put out some good gas at a lower current draw. We will see. This trucker is looking forward to some fuel mileage gains. But with stuff breaking it's making me look like a First class Horse shoe!(Jackass...LOL!)

The enclosure measures 24" wide, 24" tall and 28.5 inches deep(from step)

Now I need some constructive criticism from your part,

Chase

Instead of going to all that trouble why not just get a PWM that will handle the current. Zerofossilfuel sells one and I am sure Shane could make one.

Holy Cow! it works a lot better!

Thanks Shane for the PWM;)

LOL!

Thanks Astro and Helz.

When it works it works good so I'm working out some bugs.

I'm gonna try a it with no PWM and maybe add another neutral giving it 6N's.

Dear Astrocady,
can you see more ,with foto attached.

Just out of curiosity, why do you have 4 seperate reactors? Why not just build one unit with the same amount of cells? It does look nice though.:)

lorenz1955,

You have a nice set up but please start your own thread to talk about your set up and not hi-jack mine.

Hi Dear friend,
i would like to 3D open,but my english,is not so good .
I am italian engineer,and i speak good , normally Italian,French,German,but i must help myself with italian to english translator (Babylon).(With many wrongs in translation).
If, for you is not a problem,we try,but forgive my written English...???
Best R.

mon Francais n'est pas bon. pardonnez-moi. j'apprends
je parle francais un peu. je peux traduire
veuillez ouvrir une nouvelle conversation. ce conersation est pour le systeme de l'autre homme

I told him I can translate french but not that well and also to start a new thread. Rosetta stone really works, lol.

Don't get me wrong you have a nice set up with a great article to read about.

Glad you are here and share with us all your invention.

Finally got some mileage figures in...to my surprise (and I shouldn't be) the truck got WORSE mileage. Yes that's right. They usually get 5.7 mpg but got 5.2 mpg.

But here's why.

This 2010 truck has a particulate filter. In front and back of the filter are fuel/air ratio sensors (like O2 sensors) the engine's parameter's detected a lean mixture and dumped in more fuel. Then it got a little hotter so the timing was retarded (per computer) so the truck would usually get 5.7 mpg...instead got 5.2 mpg. So like auto's the semi's are responding in a similar way because of the tighter parameters of the fuel system. These engines are not suppose to get better fuel mileage but meet emmsissions requirements.

So were going to either put the truck on a scope and adjust or go with the EFIE's.

Will keep you all updated.

Dear B1Jetmech,
I have read your disappoint,but i would like to have two answers:
How many HHO go to intake manifold...???
How many cubic cm had your motor....????
Thank you
