Hi!
it's been several times I post here and I'm under the impression that not much people here are actually building something. I'd like to find people that are actually experimenting with hydrogen on demand technology, HHO, and especially the advanced experimenters, focused on practical applications, not just theories and benchtop prototypes.
I've build a full stainless steel cell that contains about 10l of water, with a rupture disk for safety. I havn't tested it yet, because I'm still looking for the right driver circuit to run it.
I've considered using the high voltage route, but I fear my electrodes won't be appropriate for this since they are only 1/16 appart.
Anyhow, I thinks it could be just as efficient at lower voltages with a properly tuned circuit. I was looking for an off the shelf PWM with a phase lock loop integrated. I've seen one from Alltrax, but I think it's not offered anymore, correct me if I'm wrong. Last time I sent an email to Alltrax, they said their PWM circuit board was cast in epoxy so it's impossible to modify them. There must be a way around this, because Fast Freddy and H2go, + the other company that has built the 900 hp 100 MpG camaro all used modified version of this pwm. I don't know if it had the PLL integrated, wich uses the frequency corresponding to the the lowest impedance in the load ( at resonnance ).
What I know is that they has modified it the following way:
- Adjustable Frequency ( stock is fixed at 5Khz? )
- Bigger mosefets 400A each!
This means it will easily handle a continiuous load of 100A
-cooling fan
Some topics I'm interested in and don't see a lot of info in hho forums:
-PLL (Phase Lock Loops) to lock resonnance frequency of a PWM to a cell.
-The use of ultrasonic transducers, in a open bath cell, to enhance
HHO production.
- Gas enhancers/ionisers, like LEDs bubblers, just before the gas is fed to the engine.
- Adding cold fog / recirculating eshaust gases to cool down the engine in a high boost / HHO only situation.
- Use of toroidal transformers to create a "loop" of current between the cell and the transformer. "ratchet" diode have to be used in this case.
-Small water gap: 1mm (.040") to be able to use distilled water only in the cell. Creates a gas that is a lot more powerful than when using KOH.
-Exotic electrolytes/catalysts. Fast Freddy and H2Go is using salt water, probably they mix sea water electrolytes with distilled water. This creates all sorts of exotic gases like H4? Can be dangerous and corosive to the engine though, has to use multiple bubbler/scrubber to clean gases. In H2go case, they use alcohol and... gasoline bubblers.... !
-Assymetric plates/tubes Aka Joe cell. Assymetric, meaning that surface area of, typically, center negative electrode is smaller than the surface area of the outer positive electrode. This situation is known to cause negative resistance, ie, energy flowing into the circuit from the environment, and was first observed in vacuum tubes.
If you are an active experimenter, please contact me directly at felaudet@gmail.com or post on this thread.
I'd like to team up with people, for a possible crownfunding campain.
Thank you!
