HHO (Hydrogen) Generator 4 SS wall plates + More.

The cell I built in the picture cost me less than $10 to build. In the video I have copper wire going into the water, but I know it corrodes fast, so I'm going to be using stainless steel wire in the final product. The plates are about 4x3" about 12sq inches each. So 44sq inches total.

I'm also working on a design the uses 8 stainless steel cups with a total surface area of about 90 square inches.

I'm going to be using 3" ABS pipe for the bubbler and for the gen itself. I'm using 1/4" tubing, and I have a flashback arrestor for safety.

For the final installation in my car, I hope to be powering the cell up with a Deep Cycle Marine battery rated at 115amp hours @ 12v. That should run me about $80 at costco. 115 amp hours should let my cell run @ 30 amps for almost 4 hours straight.

PLEASE ask questions and give suggestions. Thanks for watching!

I just modified the cell to 8 plates. It goes like this + n n n n n n - . Plate spacing is 1/16 and current draw is 2-5 amps even with an insane amount of baking soda as in over 1 Tablespoon for 700ml water. Thats like 5x what most people use! No clue what the ouput is, but its nothing that high. Maybe 1/4 Liter / min.

Well I'm quite sure its 304 grade or higher. It hasn't rusted / corroded a single bit yet!

The plates are 1/32" thick. They have 1/8" holes pre-drilled. So I just drill one of them out more to 7/16" then use 1/32" nylon washers. They sell these in 4 sizes. From standard switch cover size to 4 switch covers in one size.

How much are your custom cuts of 316L?

Skytech5000 I took your advice and wired two 4 plate cells in sires only to get crappy output. Before I was getting 1/2 liter per minute @ 15 amps, and now I'm getting 300-400ml a minute @ 15 amps. With them wired in parallel they draw almost 30 amps and put out 800ml per minute. With your 5 plate config are you using any neutral plates?

Interesting, thanks for your comment skyteck5000. I've actually pretty much ditched the wall plate design for now. I'm using SS cups. I just put together a 4 plate cell using 4x2.5oz cups, and am seeing much better output at less current than my 8 SS wall plates.

In my final cell I plan to use 10 2.5oz cups mounted in a 3x10" ABS pipe. In the future though I'll try multiple cells.

Do you know how many liters per minute you are getting out of your two cells with 5 plates @ 10 amps 12v?

An alternator for the car would run me about $120 + instalation $30 or so. But I'm still a little against installing a more powerful alternator. I can feel when I turn on the AC, the car working harder. I don't want to put too much stress on such an old under powered car.

There are some batteries out there that have a 3-5 year warranty. I might get one of those and get a charger for $50.

I might put it in the trunk. In the front there is only 9" clearence, height wise.

i like the dry cell .. i build on like this check the vid

you might need a PWM check on e-bay

and the alternator is the best solution trust me lol i lost many battery in the combat field

or he could just replace the alternator with a permanent magnet alternater, or update the one he has, It was save him the space and money, and wouldnt drag the car down because pma's dont cog :-)

You can but what is called an Isolator for the second battery and wire it into your existing alternator battery charge circuit, you cn even get a valve that allows current to not be pulled from the alternator and limit what is puts out to the second battery to save power on the engine, and alternator's output and work load. I've done it and it workd flawlessly. This way the car will always be putting a charge back into the second battery. When charged Alt stops charging it and works as normal.

i asked an auto electrical guy, he recons a car wont draw half the amps that the aulternator can provide.... 90 amp aulternator uses he recons 36 / 40 amps to run the vehical elecrtics, so plently amps available.... get a 2nd hand aulternator and put it on to car, run that, burn that out if atall, cheeper safer, but you dont want to be using 30amps, too much heat produced...

thom scotland.

If your planning on running the secondary battery be sure to wire up some mechanism to shut your cell of while the car isn't running. Power can usually just be run off a pin in the ignition or some other electrical system, but with a secondary battery extra care would need to be taken. Just my two bits.

What thickness and grade stainless steel is that? That is super cheap and I thought my custom cuts were the cheapest on the market. I use 316L 20 gauge stainless steel. I know for a fact that the ss cups will corrode 4x faster then 316L was just wondering what Lowes sells since there isnt one up here.
