That's 415 watts per 1.5 LPM. Watts are watts no matter if it's DC or AC. For those that don't know VxA=W or, Volts multiplied by amps equals watts. You can change the formula around to suit whatever two parts of the equation you have.
So, the AC version is roughly 123 watts per Liter per minute.
The DC setup at 1.5 LPM is 300 watts per liter per minute.
According to the mathematical breakdown, his machine is much more efficient. I would believe that he's got a lot of leaks down that tubing. He WAS using electrical tape after all to seal the hoses together.
Also, I think the reason the lawnmower was misfiring was because the timing was set for gasoline, not HHO which burns hotter and faster, and also because of the water. I would suspect that if the tubing were sealed better you could run a larger size engine with that, think motorcycle or small car possibly.
Keep in mind he was probably running his lawnmower off of it just to show that it could be done. It was night time, he probably just got everything going well, and wanted to see if it could be done. Don't think that just because that small lawnmower is ALL he ran with it, that that's all that generator COULD power.
I am sure his unit is more efficient as he has alot more plate surface area. I am running switch plates in an 8x8x6 box. His unit is HUGE. I think for the size of the unit he isnt that efficient. If you look at my youtoube vid for my double cell, you will see that it produces 1.3LPM @ roughly 13 amps. That is twice the efficiency of the cell in my truck. Not sure why it works so well, but I have been able to duplicate it. I do have the edges of the plates sealed with silicon.
