Here is a hydrogen booster on my 1992 Chevy 4wd 3/4 ton.

  • Been using a mason jar single cell for three years now. Big difference on mileage & response except baking soda fizzles out every 150 miles or so and eats up my 316 plates. Tried white vinegar with less soda.. somewhat better, but not satisfactory. Just wondering if potassium hydroxide is more forgiving on the plates, where to get it, and is it longer lasting? Thanks.

  • @katnap72 Don't use glass, that is very dangerous. Don't use Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda), only use Sodium Hydroxide or Potassium Hydroxide. I cannot find Potassium Hydroxide locally so I use Sodium Hydroxide.

    You can find it at hardware stores usually in the drain opener section, I get Rooto 100% lye brand here.

    Always use protective gear and ventilation when handling chemicals and use a bubbler for safety.

  • @1alien2 Picked up the same Rooto stuff today and some distilled water. What's the mix for 1 Gal? 1/4 teaspoon? I'm not wanting to pull more than 10-15A if possible.

  • @katnap72 I don't recommend mixing in a storage container as someone could mistake it as regular water.

    Even clearly marked as KOH or NaOH, I wouldn't want to risk it.

    I sprinkle a little at a time until the current is a few degrees from what I want it to run at, that allows for the heating up of the cell running over time.

    In this cell here, usually 1/4 teaspoon is best. It really depends on the size of the cell for the correct amount.

  • adding hydrogen boosts the (already existing) fuel's efficiency. Its not used for its energy, its used for the effect i mentioned. So having a small amount of hydrogen isnt really the issue here. 

  • @htomerif

    Except your math is wrong, you dont understand chemistry, and you havent tried it for yourself. Next question.

  • I just dont understand why people do this. What are you making, like 2 liters of gas per minute? And what's that, a 6L engine? Thats about 20000L per minute of air, or 0.01% of your intake air is generated hydrogen. At that percentage, that much hydrogen would have just absolutely zero effect.

  • @1alien2 thanks for the help :)

  • @DOPEXAMP sodium hydroxide, around 12 amps and 16 plates.

  • @1alien2 what electrolite, how many amps, and how many plates.
