This is a simplified HHO Flow Meter

This device should give the HHO Experimenter a 'semi-standardized' tool that they can use to measure their cell performance as they tweak and adjust them.

It is intended to be used with comparison testing between runs and modifications. So there should be no question as to whether or not the last "tweak" you made to your cell had a positive or negative result.

It is very easy to make. If damaged it, just swing by the convenience store and pick one up of the same brand and size as you had before. If the cap is not damaged, you can reused the cap on the new bottle.

It is not near as complicated and as hard to replicate as the 'chimney' hhometers and 'bouncing ball' flow meters that most everyone else is using.

And it should give anyone that uses one a very easy repeatable and consistent standard to measure the gas output from their cells.

Important Usage Notes:

- You start your stop watch when the first bubble is released inside the bottle.

- You stop your stop watch when all the water has been evacuated and gas starts to bubble out of the small hole in the cap.

- The small evacuation hole MUST be the lowest point in the chamber, especially during the last inch of water to be evacuated.

- The bottle MUST remain floating unsupported in the water tank with the exception that it must be held almost vertical right at the end of the test.

- In all cases, the water level inside the chamber must remain level with the water level in the tank. (bottle remains floating even when supported vertically at the end of the test.)

- It is suggested that you allow some water to back fill the tube. This is to allow you to turn on or hook up your cell and prepare yourself to press the button on the stopwatch.

- The volume of liquid you are evacuating WILL ALWAYS be the same (unless you crush or deform the bottle). [Atmospheric pressure issues not withstanding]

- The size of the bottle used is not relevant unless you are testing for large volume production. In that case you may need to utilize a larger bottle.

- The actual volume of water that would have been evacuated in this particular configuration is approximately 540 ml.(+/- 5 ml). The total volume of water you evacuate WILL vary.

  • The water displacement method...DUH! Why didn't I think of that? Sometimes it's the easy things that get overlooked. Thanks...well done. :)

  • You are very welcome. I am glad I was able to be of some help.

  • I knew there was a simple way a measuring it but just could not think of it. Good job!

  • Thank you.

  • Hi Thanks for the video,You gave me the solution .....thanks again

  • Good idea on the hhometer remake. I got to get a laser thermometer. :)
