@ alexercsei

Hi alexercsei,
You mention to use 4 spoons of pot carb. Just to make sure - do you mean teaspoons?
Also, what do you use in the way of liquid?
Currently using the coil system from water4gas using baking soda & distilled water, however the wires have eroded so it's time to build a new one!
Distilled water is rare & expensive here in the UK, but I have heard mineral water is better anyway.
Was thinking of doing mineral water with pot carb & a dash of Sodium Hydroxide.

@ everyone
Anyone had experience with the stainless steel pipe system? Found a video on youtube & it seems like it produces a lot of HHO & is very robust.

Thanks in advance

Potssium Carbonate is also called K2CO3.
I googled potassium carbonate & found 70g for £4.13.
Here's the link. Not sure if I'm able to post links though -

It' also called the following according to Wikipedia -
Carbonate of potash
Dipotassium carbonate
Dipotassium salt
Pearl ash
Potash
Salt of tartar
Salt of wormwood

Good luck!

which is better between potasium carbonate, KOH, and Baking soda??
and which more corosive and non-corosive??
thank you

I've used baking soda before & don't recommend it as it corroded my 316L SS wire in about 4 months. Also left mud in the bottom of the electrolyser.
Not used the other 2 yet, but I am in the process of rebuilding the unit & will use pot hydroxide. Not sure if it's better or worse than pot carb, but I found it easier to obtain (£3.50 on ebay) & on the electrolyte section of brownsgas.com they say it is recommended. Have a look at the website. It's quite basic & they try to sell you things, but there's a good amount of knowledge waiting to be learnt.

urine, urea, ammonia has been known to draw less voltage @ around 7.2V regardless of amperage with regular maintanance

Dear All,

any one can tell me that what is the power source for generator ?
because i have 1.5 ltr toyota with 12 volt and 65 AmpHr battery. i m fadeup because no one can tell me the exact power requirement of HHO generator
can any one help me to make power supply in easy manner ??????

[EddieRock]

The power source for HHO is your 12 volt battery. Depending on your Hydrogen HHO Cell design, size and electrolyte mixture, you will draw will be in amps and it could be between 20 and 40 amps. The better the desing, the less amp draw on the battery and the more HHO you will produce.

If you want to produce a lot of HHO, you may need to get a larger alternator or add an additional one. Many people simply get a used alternator and add it.

For those of you doing testing try this. Take the exhaust hose from the generator and put into a five gallon bucket of water. Submerg a liter container. Get a stop watch. Turn the liter container, opening down while still under the water and time how long it takes the generator to fill the bottle by dispersing the water. I am not one who believes that more is better after doing a lot of testing, I am good at 3/4 liter per minute. I do have some other add ons like a beefed up PVC and a fuel heater built from W4G ebook. My test vehicle is 1959 so I do not have to contend with computer problems. I don't drive a lot or fast, never have and I have had great results with baking soda, and yes I do wash out my generator about every four of five tanks of fuel. I use a cheap volt meter to adjuct the amperage close to 7 amps, that is where I think my system is comfortable.

[EddieRock]

You've done good if you're only using 7 amps to power your HHO unit. Without all the electronics and having a carb, things just work easier. Your emmissions may have gone way down as well after you installed your HHO unit.

Can you take some pictures and post them on the form here: HHO Pictures Just start a new topic and add the photos and explain it a bit. This is where people can show and explain their systems.

I had heard or read of someone using ??? which they purchased at a hardware store as the catalyst, but just can't remember what the product was. They felt it was a much better conductor than the baking soda and also didn't need to be replaced as often. Anyone have any ideas???

im not sure but i have heard of people refering to lie as the hardwarestore electrolite
