Hydrogen Gas Generator - Neoartifact

A Hydrogen gas generator (also generates oxygen gas) from regular water. Outputs 350ml per minute at 60Watts. 55-60VDC with 5-6A current.
Pulsed (square wave) DC coupled with a transformer (LRC circuit) will be tested once I get a new FET that can handle the current.

Built and Tested by Neoartifact (www.neoartifact.com) for research purposes.

The key is to reduce the ampere draw as much as possible whilst still keeping the same rate of gas generation. Pulse-width modulating the voltage can create an even more efficient system as you tune to the resonant frequency of your electrolysis plates. You need potential, not so much charge rate! Try to exploit current lag. Creating more capacitance in the cells is something
we will look into further.

Pulsing the system using a kHz range square wave pulse exploits the initial 'jump' in voltage when a source voltage is connected to the system. This voltage 'jump' carries massive potential but current is 'delayed' due to impedance in system. The 'jump' should be enough potential to allow the hydrogen and oxygen atoms to dissociate with ambient
thermal energy. Your circuits and water temp should be cold, not hot. This is the best that I can explain the theory at the moment.

i have a question, does the produced hydrogen power the engine without any other fuel?

[neoartifact]

yes, but the lead acid battery runs out of charge after a while even when the alternator is supplying power back into the battery. Kinetic, thermal and other system loses contribute to this inefficiency. It's extremely difficult to run a 100% efficient system, but I doubt it can't be done. Anything is possible regardless of the laws of physics.

what did you use as the metal material in the water, and what type of metal did you use? does it matter?

[neoartifact]

it mentions it in the video. Stainless Steel 316 the plates are. Matters what metal you use. Other metals will corrode over time and leave junk in your water. Anything chromium plated is fine.

it seams you are getting lots of hho, the larger bubles are o and the small ones are o.

do you have problems with the water heating up.

[neoartifact]

Use as little electrolyte as possible. Salts, acids and alkali's are kind of useless as water contains enough trace electrolyte (including waters own conductivity) to do the job. You wanna stretch the water across the electrostatic field (+ -) as water is normally polar. Increase its polarity and then apply a tiny amount of current (PWM). You will use very little current to do the same job but your electrode spacing must be really close and the voltage just right to prevent arcing.

try using powered metal is works much better with far batter surface interaction..

[xsports49]

nice work, i was wondering what kind of transformer your using? i've been looking for one for some time now

[RODALCO2007]

Great experiment. Love the audio track too.

[Shadowknightwolf]

can this be used as a battery?

[uawwildbob]

not a bad vid, but this is inefficient by todays standards . and i can allready see the brown contaimination building up. I have got more with less curent no heat or containination and with out caustic electrolyte's

Nice video. I just built a pulsing dual oscillator for a friend of mine. It's just amazing how effeciently the PS can produce massive amounts of power. Running on 12vdc it would practically melt a 4ohm 50 Watt load heatsinked like crazy. Really cool stuff. The generator cells that he is using are the type with one stainless tube inside another. Just in case any one cares to try that method.

Is it possible to attach a torch on this HHO generator and ignite the hydrogen?

[altamuu]

I think you should put the cells in a vauum so it will be easier to generate a reaction.

It seems to me that we are trying to find the standing wave that will make water resonate to have the Hydrogen atoms and the Oxygen atoms separate.
