In your last video comments you said you doubled up the gaskets. So, Is this now .080 plate gap? I'm also building a 5X6 16 plate 3 cell as you. I printed out tero rantas design and that cell has .125 gap as fordenergy dos the same. I got my hands on an 11"x11' roll of 1/8" neoprene rubber. Any ideas on how to insulate the intake ports would be appreciated.
.080 gaps is Correct, efficiency went up as soon as I doubled gaskets. Your plate size sounds good; my idea is keep it small for easy placement. I placed vinyl tubing through inlet and outlet holes after cutting small slit down length of tube. Vinyl tubes minimize current leakage and raised my efficiency up some. Looks like you're on the right path hope to see your progress soon.
Nice job on this video! Your idea to use PVC shower liner solved my gasket problem. I like the way you demonstrated how you tested the flow and how you posted all the specs and MMW at the end of the video. I hate it when some one looks at the bubbles and says that they are getting X liters per minute without even measuring anything.
Thank you Petedog, i haven't installed in car yet hopefully soon. First time I hooked to vacuum it sucked fluid to motor so second bubbler worked but fluid was racing around crazy. How should i deal with vacuum?
When I first saw you water gas separator I was concerned that you might have those kind of problems. A taller tubular (dude) design seems to work best and it keeps the surface of the fluid away from the intake. Look at the one I use in my video, it works great and I have had no problems with vacuum or getting water into the lines. I also put a plastic mesh scrubby inside at the water line to keep the water from splashing around and to break up the bubbles. A seperator can be built for around 15
Dont hook to the PCV (vacuum too eradic) hook to the air intake just before the throttle body. If it is a problem, still, then try hooking to an aquarium air pump to pull the hho out. will keep vacuum at a regular rate. Your amperage draw will actually go down with a vacuum. By the way, LOVE the "Poor Boy" cell. This is the kind of "Garage Science" that I really enjoy watching. Good job, Keep up the great work. Check out my AutoBubbler tutorial if you think it will help.
I had to much vacuum at throttle body so I moved about 6" before throttle and that solved my problem. Your HHOG 2 EPDV2 would work great for my setup because I don't have much height under the hood. Your work is awesome and thank you for the great comment.
where can you get that.. "Right stuff" gasket glue? please respond :)

nice job ... this is a great build ... shows what you can do with what you got laying around ... very well thought out design ...
I love it ... especially the reservoir concept ... darn, I may copy that design ... looks like it works well ...

I'm impressed. Nice Job. The highest MMW I got was 4.8 MMW. Now I would like to see what your MPG increases are.
