Hydrogen Kit

For the past month I have been building and testing A hydrogen generator. After Lots of ups and downs I have finally finished. I researched different types of generators, and different methods of building. I picked a ''style'' and decided to invest some cash and build it. There were allot of hard to find parts, but I was able to get it done. The only thing left to do is drive it and see how much of a difference it will make. It produces Hydrogen well enough to Light the bubbles in a bottle and make a pop similar to a black cat firecracker. Until I can get a interceptor gauge, I will be setting the trip odometer and going by 1/2 tank intervals. I'm expecting a 15%-30% increase in gas mileage, but even if its only a 10% I will still think its worth the investment. I get about 16-18mpg now so that's roughly 2mpg at worst. If it produces Hydrogen like I built it to, I should see 25-30mpg. only time will tell. I will dyno test it in a week or so to see if there is any hp increase. I don't think there will be but who knows. P.S.--- if any one wants to let me barrow their interceptor, After I get my Data I will mail it back, or make a deal and build you a kit for the gauge. Cost me about $275 to build after all parts and special tools were bought.

here are some pics... first is the Hydrogen cell>>> here is the steam filter, and bubbler>>> here is the gauge I put in my pod>>> pics of moisture filter and main line>>> another switch next to the N20 switches>>> So far the only difference I have noticed is the engine tone is quieter. its not as crackly as before, and it seems to be running better all arround.

I dont see a flash arrestor.....Yea I have been building one also, only thing is I have about $75 into it. I havent put it on my car yet but it is pumping out about 4 liters per minute of hydrogen.

Good luck!!

The bubbler is the safety. 4 liters a minute is ALLOT. how big is your generator?
You sure its not 4 liters per hour? Also you have to have a balance between output and longevity. Some of the bigger cells make more HHO, but they tend to boil the water and just steam after a short period. You probably did the cheaper mason jar one. they work, but they don't produce 4 liters a minute. more like 2 per hour. And they dont last as long. And they boil the water. 4 liters a minute can be heard like a hiss. We only admin 3 liters per minute or so for o2 patients via Nasal cannula (the nose one). I built this one with hi grade durable stuff. With safety, and longevity in mind. Hence the higher cost.
