How to build your own HHO fuel cell generator—-By trm48
If you want to construct your own fuel cell, there are websites with diagrams and instructions on how to build one. However, many of the cheaper internet offers appear to be a rip-off. They offer plans that are hard to follow, if not impossible to complete.
If you have some mechanical and electrical skills or have a friend that does, you can build an HHO fuel cell generator. If not, there are sites on the internet where you can purchase a unit for installation on your own vehicle.
HHO or “Brown’s gas” is up to 8 times more efficient than diesel or gasoline. A fuel cell can increase your miles per gallon, save you money and it is environmentally friendly. You will be able to make your own fuel cell by utilizing components that you may find in your own garage or purchase them at your local home improvement or automotive parts store.
Inside the HHO fuel cell generator, water is broken down into hydrogen and oxygen gas called HHO, through the process of electrolysis. This gas, which has an enormous amount of energy, is then used as part of the combustion fuel which powers your engine.
The electrolytic cell is the most vital component. It is housed in a high temperature resistant, non-electrically conductive container. Some fuel cell generators use staggered plates or stainless steel wire. A small amount of distilled water is added to
It is important to keep the fuel cell from overheating. The hotter the cell gets, the more amps it draws from the battery until it melts the plates. This can be prevented by installing a fuse or circuit breaker to limit the amount of amps going to the electrolytic cell. Plain tap water contains minerals that causes too much conductivity between the plates and corrodes the inside of the fuel cell. Using distilled water helps control the amperage and temperature. The best material for the plates is 316 stainless steel. Aluminum, steel and copper will corrode too fast.
The bubbler unit is located between the electrolytic cell and the carburetor. It is a very simple component that stops any moisture from entering the engine. A hose connects the bubbler to the engines intake manifold through which the HHO travels.
The final major part of an HHO conversion is an electrical control unit that is connected to the vehicle’s ignition, battery and hydrogen generator.
You will need a decent manual to take you through the steps of building an HHO conversion kit. It is easy to do yourself or the alternative is to pass it to your mechanic. In any case, the first advantage is the cheapness of making and installing it. Allow $100 for a manual and another $150 for materials.
I recommend reading as many articles and watching as many videos as you can find before trying to build your own cell. It will save you money and time in the long run. Good Luck.
