  • Great video. Leaves little question about what is happening. What was funny was when the mower backfired and you got all serious looking. Don't worry about timing issues with an old lawnmower. All internal combustion engines the world over will do this at least once in there life. It is very common with old carburetor engines like in old cars or trucks to do it running on gas. Work on the flash arrest or and get back to me what you find. Don't worry about the backfire.

  • @eman20083421 without timing corrected when you put a load on the engine, you will get serious preignition and it will almost always result in backfire from intake. This is because the burn time from ignition to combustion is much faster than gasoline so the spark plug must fire a little later to prevent preignition.

  • do you know what is causing it to backfire?

  • @1232sean improper ignition timing. timing should be rearded slightly so plug fires later. it causes preignition, which sets off a chain reaction and it will start burning before it enters the engine. that is why backflash arrestors are very important

  • are you useing just hho in the lawnmower

  • yes in this video. i cannot produce it fast enough to run this engine, and the timing has to be changed otherwise when you go to pick up a load it will preignite several times and backfire through thev intake.

  • any engine can run of hydrogen thats why stanley meyer was wiped off because his system could produce enough HYDROGEN

  • You need a solid connection to the carb intake first of all. Then a tank with more compression, and finally a regulator to control your gas flow rate. Hydrogen is to unstable to run for fuel. Stick with propane. Nice experiment though.

  • I didnt see him put a load on it. It was just sitting there. Also most mowers like this one has a specific way the the top fly wheel mounts on its shaft. Since this is the stator for the spark as well , the timing can not be adjusted on most mowers.

  • Cool. Meyer's research lead him to (K.I.S.S. After he learned the secrets of HHO) the 'water splitter plug.' If the 'water splitter' cracked just 0.5cc of H2O inside a cylinder compressed with ambient moist air, the heat of the cracking would probably crack and then burn all the water vapor near the initially cracked H2O. So why does everybody focus on his electrolysis process?

  • Lol very cool video

  • If I collected farts in a container, couldn't I run a lawnmower? Or how about a compost pile, doesn't that produce ignitable gas. Must be a cheaper way since hydrogen is expensive. What the world needs is for most people to collect their fart gas. Think of all the gaseous fuel produced daily worldwide and not even burned...

  • where do you put the hydrogen in pipe to on the enging
