Hello HHO fellahs! MY name is Eric, and i've been getting into the HHO stuff since about a week ago.

I built a very rough and crude HHO system using 4 stainless angled plate, 1/8" gap, and no neutrals. Here is a video of my simple design.

So, from my understanding, the more Nuetral plates you add, the less voltage draw to the + and - plates, right?

How about amps? I had to use some battery cables to test out my HHO system because i cooked some 12awg wire. Any ideas on a dial or something to adjust he amps putting out?

Any ideas on adjusting voltage put out? I was thinking if i had a dial, i can see how much amps and voltage works best with my truck.

Also, about how long does your water reservoir last? I been playing around with mine and haven't seen a water drop at all.

My truck also has a 2 hose intake. Think i should build 2 HHO's or just use a Y harness for the hose to separate?

Using - + - + you will draw alot of amps and quick.
Best to use the N plates... to keep the volts down. HHO will be created with as little as 2 volts, i think it can even be lower.

Using a wet cell i think its best to use 4 N for every - +


Also that lighter, bad idea....

The ONLY time i will light HHO is if i put it into a balloon and i SEE how much HHO i got. Cause as you did, it can get ugly, fast... think had the boom gone back into the CELL, then your glass would have shattered all over you...

I'd have to back Koya's advice on this one. It pays to do a lot of reading (mostly but not all on this forum) to see what mistakes others have made - there's plenty of them. Wouldn't want a "Death by HHO generator" on this (or any other) forum.

Good luck & play safe,

Cheers,
Martin.:eek:

Thanks guys. I honestly did not know it was going to do that...It was my first time doing it. I saw a video on metacafe of a kid doing it, and i guess my design pumped out ALOT more hho than i thought. I'm never doing that again....

Thanks for the info guys. I'm thinking about trying a circular design with SS washers instead of plates. Thanks!

It is good to learn what it can do.... i rather have a controlled BOOM and see the effects rather than an accident.

But look at some youtube videos, my personal favorite are...

My first and ONLY mistake was the day i had my first 5 plate wet cell and it was in a 3gal icecream bucket, plenty of room to work with, so i was lighting the LITTLE bubbles, pop, pop, pop. Then i had the bright idea to put soap into the water so the HHO would get trapped under the soap. 1/2 of the bucket was HHO bubbles and lit it, the bucket flew into 2 pieces and my ears rang for the next few hours.... im lucky no stainless steal plates flew out and cut me :)
