How to tell If your HHO dry cell or any other HHO generator actually making HHO Gas?
One of the most common issues we encounter when trying to debug hydrogen on demand systems is that the proper amount of HHO gas is not being produced,
or is not getting into the engine for some reason.
Check your HHO generator first. Measure the output of your HHO dry cell by doing a water displacement test.
This is fairly simple test where you use a empty bottle upside down floated in water and run your HHO gas out-put tube into it for one minute.
If your HHO generator seems to be putting out the liters per minute that you expected move on to the next and most important HHO gas test.
Now you need to check whether your unit is making HHO or steam.
You will see all kinds of HHO video and claims from so called HHO experts where their HHO dry cell or other type of hydrogen generator seems to be putting out massive amounts of HHO gas.
These guys are applying so much amperage to their HHO generators that the units are producing more steam than anything else.
If your HHO dry cell runs hot to the touch, you must suspect that at least part of your output is steam.
One way to test for steam in your HHO gas output is to run gas coming from the outlet tube of your HHO generator over some ice or other cooling system. Then if you get significant amounts of fog forming (water droplets), you know that at least part of your output is steam. Which means you HHO cell is running too hot!
These hydrogen generators are a circulating system design. The water travels from the reservoir through the cell and then back into the reservoir. No water pumps are needed.
The key to this circulating system is the way our HHO dry cells are designed. This HHO generator design acts like a pump creating a self siphoning system that carries the HHO gas and water back into the reservoir. The reservoir stores the water that is circulated through the system which also acts as a bubblier system so that the water and HHO gas are separated with the water being recirculated.
This water circulation makes it easier to control temperature of your HHO generator which is why HHO dry cells are becoming very popular for those installing hydrogen on demand on their autos and trucks.
** What is the Right Mixture of KOH For an Hydrogen Generator or HHO Dry Cell ?
Start with a 10% KOH concentration (by weight) has been reported and understood to be the optimum. Running about a 10% solution an HHO dry cells at 15 amps warm and get 1- 1.5 LPM of HHO gas.
Water having a density of 1 gm/ml (gm and ml are equal)
KOH weighs apx. 11 grams per teaspoon. = ( 33 gms per Tbsp)
1 quart (qt) water = 946.35 grams
The total weight is always 1,000 grams containing whatever percentage of KOH that is wanted. So without turning this into a science class — 10% mix is APX. 3 tbsp. of KOH to 1 Quart of water.
To make 1 Kg of a 10% KOH solution by weight, add 100 grams of KOH to 900 cc of water. The total weight is always 1,000 grams containing whatever percentage of KOH that is wanted.
START WITH A DILUTED MIX !
It must be adjusted so that the concentration of catalyst is based on the amperage draw of your HHO dry cell at start up, because as the normal loss of water used will gradually increase the concentration and subsequent amperage draw as it runs. The level of water will be evident due to the amp draw!
Hi webmaster, commenters and everybody else !!! The blog was absolutely fantastic! Lots of great information and inspiration, both of which we all need!b Keep ‘em coming… you all do such a great job at such Concepts… can’t tell you how much I, for one appreciate all you do!
Seeking the truth is the goal… Finding enough good truthful information is more difficult!
Hi all great information here and good thread. May I ask how did you think of these ideas ?
