I had a minor explosion and then a second burnt cap. This vid shows an important safety improvement.

how about a dry cell

[SteveF944]

@rubicon31 - I think a dry cell is the way to go. That is actually what I am running now. A dry cell runs cooler and you don't have electrical connections inside a pocket of gas. If properly designed a dry cell puts out more gas for the amps drawn.

Are you running an inline fuse and a relay to power the system ? I'm hearing to use a 20 amp fuse . My understanding also is that the greater the surface area of the plates the more currrent it draws . As docscott says , you were probably drawing too much current where that nut melted into the plastic . Thanks for posting your results

Thank you to everyone that has commented. At the time of the explosion I was testing and using jumper cables. Not very smart! Now I have a 30amp fuse, a relay and a PWM for full control. I have more neutral plates. I have the electrolyte mix to where it is stable when warm with the PWM on full. On hot days I have to tweak the PWM . I also added a small fan to cool the PWM. The tube has a spark arrestor with a one way valve and a bubbler that can blow apart easily. All connections are tight

hey, got a question for ya. if i use just a bubbler on the hho fuel cell, am i still in danger of blowing up the generator?, or will the bubbler be the only thing to go???

also, is fuel injection safer than carbeurated engines as far as backfires go? i have a 95 ford explorer.

please help ;)

The bubbler properly installed will prevent the cell from damage. The bubbler should have a top or valve that easily pops off during an explosion. Then you will have a loud noise but no damage. A one way spark arrestor will protect the bubbler and is a must have devise to ensure safety. A backfire is rare on a vehicle in good shape but can happen with fuel injection or carb.

Nice paint job on the red car! What type of roller did you use :D

Good luck with the HHO i'm going to try a dry cell, looks like a good design.

Yeah- the plastic on that PVC container forms at about 185 degrees. The stainless threaded rods are like resistors and will heat up to over 200 degrees, causing a melting to happen around them. The slightest gap can cause a spark and boom!

Glad you weren't hurt.

good info in your video, but i would like to know who painted your car? OMG, you said that the porsche was your race car, you need to color sand and buff your paint out somehing horrible. It looks like a red orange. you probobly cant get going very fast in it due to the air resistance of your orange peel. I hope you didnt pay someone to paint it. and if you did, i hope you got reach around witth that ass fucking they gave you. any way thanx for the info.

get ur fuckin tools off that porshe u only care about ur gay ass project just like the people with their saws making sawdust on my car or the leaf blower people people blowing sticks and rocks on the sides

What an Amazingly bad spray job on that poor Porsche. Love the Orage Peel.

From all the videos ive seen no one seems to add a relife valve why is that your working with hydrogen its a expanding gas also a pressure detector switch that shuts the power off, experiments work if done in a safe manner, Be safe and live another day.

Its the plastics being used. You need stronger grade stuff. Machined aluminum for starters, then higher temperature threshold materials.
