  • Btw Z, do you think a separate, modified car alternator giving out high voltage for HHO production a good idea? Say, 120 DC (or AC, if that would work)? You see, I find that my car's electrical system is having a hard time handling so many amps at 12 volts. And a 150 watt'ish system doesn't really cut it. Not the way we want HHO to be -- dramatic. I'm thinking 500 watts or more would be a good start but handling those amps at 12v isn't as comfortable.

  • @Quigon10101 2nd alternator, yes. HV, still not sold.

  • Greetings ZFF. This will be interesting and very informative to watch. 7 plate groups with 8 plates in each (56 total, 4 less than last time :)). Plate groups inter-connected in series? (Parallel, maybe? With the threaded steel bar, "through-and-through"?) I am eagerly waiting to see the new construction and how it performs. It will be very kind of you to give a bit more description of the inter-connections between plate groups and any possible alt configs you may have tried to tweak the amps.TY

  • All will be revealed.

  • What was wrong with the EBN cell?

  • @ChrisPCrunchy The compressed gasket wet cell (not dry) is elegant looking and fits nicely in many places. That's where it ends. Too many mechanical flaws. The terminals often got resistive, heated, lost efficiency. Internal current leakage is almost impossible to prevent. And the gaskets will always soften, bulge from between plates and leak electrolyte.

    I much prefer swimmers even if a little bigger. They're easier to replicate, easier to balance voltage, less likely to leak.

  • @JWKanalen So the question is will you get the same results with water vapor injection alone? I'm pretty sure the answer is yes. That's why so many people see some gains with only a trickle of HHO. They've ignored the water vapor component. There's still not enough HHO in there to be making any difference on its own. That's why I'm going more after efficiency.

  • @ZeroFossilFuel Wouldnt voltages self ballance as a plate or an area of a plate that has a smaller gap would generate more gas bubbles on the surface. As gas bubbles are more resistive (open circuit) they would reduce the surface area of the plate exposed to the electrolyte and self ballance out the current through that plate as compared to the rest? Wouldnt "swimmers" increase the area of leakage as the electrolyte can allow current flow around the plates not just through a few holes?

  • @BioFarmer93 There's nothing new here, really. It's inspired by the 12V wet cell automotive battery.

  • Good evening Z, hope you're doing well. I'm surprised you're taking the clear box approach again on the BC rebuild. You must be visually keeping tabs on production as well as the actual volume measurements? I fully understand though, watching production is mesmerizing in itself. I've debated contacting you for several months now, curious to see how things would develop based on the timing of the BC's youtube debut. Also curious about the origins of your inspiration

    to build a unipolar unit. -Gus
