HHO explosion - 1 gallon jug

[saharahottie]

did that today for 4th of july(:

set off 2 car alarms:D

[CarlLewenski]

I don't know why you removed the cap with plastic over your hand, but static electricity is enough to ignite this extremely volatile gas.

[HHOHandyman333]

check out how many video of 1 gallon we did

[HHOHandyman333]

gets better every time

[ritmusic2k]

Haha, yeah, whenever we show this to friends, we can't help but laugh every time. It was so ridiculous.

[FireFoxKing12]

@HHOHandyman333 OMG press 47 over and over lol awsome !!!

[HHOHandyman333]

that was cool gies

[spraycanharry]

Hey guys, Crash921 here. We need to go bigger!! You have done a gallon, and we have done a 2qt juice bottle.. Both excellent explosions! What do ya say.....

[noimw]

Use the same type of bottle add one table spoon of gasoline

put the cap on and shake it up until the liquid is gone. Ignite it the same way. See the power of gasoline vapor.

By the way did you know gasoline will not burn ?

[jesseadkins187]

you cant show the crew he says your messing the whole thing up LMAO

[ritmusic2k]

Yeah, he's the resident "filmmaker/artist" of the group ...not to belittle that or anything; the dude has made award-winning videos...

I was the jackass behind the camera who made that rookie mistake... but I think it kinda made the movie funnier :-p

[teazer999999]

how did you ignite it? was there some kind of spark plug on that shaft you put the bottle on?

[ritmusic2k]

We pretty much shorted a car battery across a thin piece of wire that was mounted on the shaft.

[cdltpx]

Do a 5 gallon bucket from 100 yards out next 4th of july. Have a mythbusters shield etc...

[GoGreenHHOhybrid]

WOW! that was loud,Hay did the cop's show up!

[ritmusic2k]

Heh, nope - we're sorta known in the neighborhood as the crazy-project-tinkerers, and odd explosions are par for the course.

[GoGreenHHOhybrid]

THAT'S Funny! I shot a water bottle to the top of the street light a time or two and my neighbors think I'm crazy for that. And for trying to run my car & truck on water. Please do not get hurt! Thank you for your video I think I'll subscribe to your channel to see what you come up with next,see you later...

[Crypto7Jocko0]

Let's see if gasoline can do that...

Put a little lightning under your hood.

Jack.

[lysergicaddict]

Its fun to blow stuff up, but I really hope all the kids watching youtube are either getting some supervision, or being as smart and taking every precaution to not get hurt.

I keep some burn spray and a first aid kit handy, you never know, better safe than sorry.

[dreamwhileyousleep]

Further proof the general public isn't ready for cheap, explosive power at the flick of a switch. I foresee a new branch of legal aid in the form of HHO injury specialists. Have you been hurt? do you know of anybody who has been hurt? would you like to get hurt? Call Shaft, Shaft and Finagler!

[H2Osplitter]

This is a sweet video. Please post more like it.

[brothadave]

i've got a cell running out of a mason jar on a 6 amp 12 volt Battery charger, i hope to eventually be able to blow shit up.

[Idontknow134]

Yeah, those are quite a bit louder than 1 or 2 liter bottles

[dmiles813]

Running each cell at a lower voltage, for me (4V, but anything over 1.5V will work) makes the system more efficient. You'd have to do some research to understand why... I'm out of room here. The plastic junction boxes of the genny remain around 80-90 degrees while drawing 30-40 amps - my target. The end goal was two-fold - use the low pressure HH0 for my torch, and then use H2 and O2 (seperated and compressed) for a experimental rocket engine. NOOBWITHAGUN was dead on - rocket fuel...

[dmiles813]

The 321 stainless was chosen for its corrosion resistance, as I am using KOH for an electrolyte. The series configuration is the same concept as any series design in a circuit. Each cell constitutes a certain resistance, and by adding cells in series, you drop the current through the circuit. This plays 2 important roles. Running these cells at 12 volts definately boosts gas production, but kills efficiency at the expense of creating huge amounts of heat, which is bad.

[deathbyviper1]

1 gallon is ok i've done bigger

[noobwithagun]

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLY­YYYYYYYYYY HELL!!

2 friekin litres???????

thats tiny...

YOU RULE!

[ritmusic2k]

A 1 gallon jug is actually about 3.8 liters... Either way, it was a damn big explosion :)

[noobwithagun]

damn big is an understatement...

but the sheer calorific value of this stuff, it would make an awsome fuel for the future!

[phantom240]

Woooooooooooooow..... That was ridiculous. Show me your generator plate design.. NOW!

Seriously. How long did it take to make that much HHO? I plan on building an HHO generator for my car, and any tips would be awesome.

[ritmusic2k]

I have videos that aren't uploaded yet, which show the inner workings of the system... our basic setup is 2 banks of 8 plates each, which can be wired in series of parallel... running off a car battery. We're currently expanding to three banks.

This test was done with the generator running 2 banks in series, so 6v each. It took us 3 minutes and 18 seconds to fill the bottle after passing our output through a 2-stage sparkback bubbler. I'll get those other videos up soon!

[phantom240]

REALLY? wow. That's quite amazing. Do you have any idea how much current you're drawing? Also, you say you're running them in a series, and was wondering how exactly that works? Series to me is quite different, as I come from an audio background, and my idea of 'series' would probably end up smoking my battery lol. Anyways, post up those other videos soon... I need inspiration!

[ritmusic2k]

well, we hooked up a car battery charger w/meter on it, and it said we were drawing over 40 amps... thing is, we found a short in the system after our test... working on it now.

[phantom240]

Ouch. 40amps is pretty hefty.

[ritmusic2k]

Okay, we've added our third bank now, and are running them in series, so 4 volts per bank. The short has been removed, and we're consistently drawing about 30-some amps now.

[dmiles813]

I'm the guy who built the generators for this video, the guy talking in the video. RITMUSIC2K is the guy with the camera. We now have two units, each 12*12*6 stackable. The proto unit has three 12 plate cells connected in series, aka 4 volts a piece, and not connected together physically. The second unit is similar, but unlike the prototype, I used nylon threaded rods to connect all three cells physically, then used 321 stainless plates to connect electrically in series.
