  • Redmeanie PWM and EFIE kits

    Does anyone have any of the documentation that Redmeanie used in his PWM and EFIE kits that he was selling? I ordered the kits from Lee back before the hurricanes and still haven't received them yet.

    I decided that I'm going to try and make my own based on Chemelec's design and I know Lee did some revisions and had put together some good documentation on assembling the kits. Any help would be appreciated. I've never etched a circuit board before but am pretty handy with a soldering iron.

    I built a Smacks booster but it overheats and the car actually dropped a few MPG as a result of the hho. I've tried the O2 sensor extender trick with no luck either. I just want to get this back up and running before gas hits $4 a gallon again.

    If anyone has the documents, tips or trick they are willing to share please post them here or PM me if you need a mailing address. I'll even reimburse you for the postage.

    Thanks for your help. This is a great forum and I've learned much from everyone here.

    Hi mate,

    I don't know much about efie's etc, but my grandad purchased a hho booter from these guys Welcome to Fuelbusters! and he is now getting a 70% increase in mileage. The unit gets a little hot, but not too hot. He has installed the unit in a 1993 Mitsubishi Verada, 3ltr V6 and he has not installed an efie box.

    I don't usually promote businesses on forums, but I know this unit works. It might help.

    Cheers,

    Steve.

      Hi dambit,

      Thanks for the info. Thats one I haven't seen yet. I'm pretty happy with the Smacks that I built though. I incorporated a few changes of my own and a couple of ideas from Rickoff. It does about 1L/min at 12-15Amps but still gets hot after an hour or so espescially in the Texas heat!

      I really just want/need to get an EFIE for the O2 sensor and PWM to try and control the heat. Hopefully Redmeanie comes through and ships my order soon but in the meantime I've been reading up on etching circuit boards using a laser printer. I'm desperate to get back to testing on the car.

      I'm on a budget and if I spend too much more money the wife will shoot me! Otherwise I would have just ordered a Lawton PWM and a Fuelsaver-MPG EFIE.

        Hi toddo,

        I spoke to my Grandad yesterday and he said that at first he had problems with heat, but he repositioned the hho unit into the front of the left wheel well. The tyre cannot make contact with it and it gets only warm to the touch.

        Cheers,

        Steve.

          Hi dambit,

          Passive cooling is not the problem, I had the Smacks right smack in front of the grill just above the license plate. It gets plenty of air when traveling down the road. If I adjust the electrolyte to not overheat themn production drops to less than 0.5 L/m

          I'm just totally frustrated that I sent $50 some odd bucks with Redmeanie back in August and still haven't gotten my PWM and EFIE. I can understand hurricanes and such disrupting peoples lives but this has put my hydrogen experimenting on hold for quite some time now. The last PM Red sent me, he said he was going to ship the Friday after Thanksgiving and thats the last I've heard.

          Please, if anyone has any the documentation from Redmeanie's PWM and EFIE kits that they could send me I would be most grateful. I can't wait any longer and am going to try to make my own circuit board and assemble the kits by myself but I need help. Ashtweth? Tarkus? Anybody?

            EFIE design

            Hi Toddo;

            This should do the trick;

            If that's not enough check Red's posts under "sales info." around June. He has all the info. there.

                Must be in the
                stars. I haven't signed on for a while and the first thread I read I actually could help. There's a switch I'm the one surfing the threads trying to figure things out >Go to Youtube.com >search madscientist67, it's free . You might want to look around there's LOTS of info if you look around

                  redmeannie order

                  Still waiting for the current limiting PWM I ordered in Nov. Cash was withdrawn back then....no PWM to date????
                  Sent numerous E mails --NO RESPONSE

                    I have the Redmeanie documentation for the EFIE and a summary document on EFIE's written up by Ashweth. The Redmeanie documentation is not in electronic form, but if you really need it badly I could scan it and send you picture files. If you would like me to do this send me a PM with your email address.

                      Hi captainwho,

                      I sent you a PM with my email address and appreciate you help in this matter. Believe me, I would much rather wait for Red to ship my kit but I'm not holding my breath. I suspect my $50 some-odd-bucks are long gone since August. The wife has been a naysayer since day one and I just want to shut her up by proving hho works. I rebuilt the Smacks with some of Rickoff's mods and some of the info I've learned at energetic forum. Just need the PWM and EFIE to put it back on the car and see those MPG gains.

                        EFIE Kit

                        You can sure try to make your own. I did, it took me about two days, and alot of money purchasing individual parts on the internet. It was alot more difficult than I imagined. However after purchasing four different ones that did not work, making one that did was rewarding. It took me over a year to figure them out, and I added it up, 1500 hours work to get where I am with the EFIE I have, and to make one that works. Good Performance, No Check Engine Lights, Great MPG, More Power, ability to switch it on and off as needed.

                        My 1999 Dodge 1500, 5.2, 4 wheel drive was getting 12 mpg on the highway. I have had it up to 24.3 and usually get 18 to 20 MPG on the highway. I run two wet cells, a bubbler / refill device I made, and get about 2.5 liters per minute HHO at 15 amps, 3 at 20 amps.

                        I ended up, using the design I made, the purchasing some made like it using transistors, circut boards, etc rather than my bread boards and wires. I use one for the o2 sensors with a cold start circut to avoid rough running when cold, and check engine lights. I make one for the MAP sensor that does not add or subtract voltage from the signal to or from the MAP sensor but replaces the input signal to the MAP thus avoiding conflict with other sensors that also use that signal from the ECM.
                        You can see my stuff on my web site at MORE-MPG-PLUS.com.
                        I don't know what his design is or was, or I would give it to you.
                        Good Luck.

                          Save your money, and cut the electrolite to the booster. You don't need a PWM. I have done it both ways. Use a bubbler with refill capability to the fuel cell, the water will circulate, keep it full, run 20 amps to avoid overheat, mount it in front of the radiator if possible.

                            If you want a PWM control you could build your own. Here is a circuit I designed to control the speed of a small DC motor. There is not much to it, but it works.

                            I had heard that using PWM on an HHO cell would increase its output, I sort of doubted that it would, but tried it anyway. It did not work, maximum cell output was with straight DC. If for some reason you want to cut back the output of the cell just reduce the voltage going to it. A simple way would be to put a rheostat or light bulb in series with it.

                              The problem of using PWM is the amount of power that can be handled by the MOSFET. If you need high power PWM, I think using 555 controlled relay can handle the job up to 30 amp. I think you can control the current between 50% to 95% or 5% to 50%, depend on which part of the relay that you use. Utilizing the Normally Connected part of the relay would allow much greater range at the cost it will throw max amp to the cell when the chip busted.
