| Hello Drfuller18, I have been looking at these things for a while also. Just a question, what is the amp load on the system when the unit is operating at 12vdc?

| Hey IGM 462 , I run approx 15 amps on highway and 5 amps in the city, I have to flip a swithch in order to change it but its all there in the cab of my pick up with me... I use a bubbler outside the generator to filter and reduce the possibility of a flashback.. Ive never seen anything that would indicate its ever happened, but who ever feels that lucky that it wouldnt.. I use lye as a catalist to excite the process so the amperage doesnt have to be that high to produce. If you use to much though you cause your vehicle to over heat..

| The generator we tried to build got REAL hot at 15 amps and cooked all of the water away in about ten minutes. We were really operating a boiler because of the amount of moisture that collected in our dryer. After correcting that problem with a diffrent metal anode it actualy produces a usable amount of browns gas. We have been experimenting with an adjustable battery booster/charger instead of an alternator and an old briggs 5hp engine for a lab rat! You are correct DrFuller18 about stainless. It conducts electricity pretty good and doesn't disolve away do to the cathodic action that takes place.

| Yea it does get hot!!! I know if you put to much baking soda, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide etc..It will get super hot with less current.. And if you dont regulate the current on it,Ill be watching from way over there somewhere else from it..lol Its an experiment to say the least... Ive know one guy that doesnt add anything to the water... Not one thing..And he does Ok.. about 20%...

| I'm very impressed to see other people using this! I was very skeptical at first- My boyfriend even more so, but I have one on my car and his truck and we have been very happy with the results. I'm currently making a gallon sized one for his rig... He thinks bigger is better so we'll try it out! Ha! If it works better at that size all the more power to him! I'll try to keep people updated. |

| You use electricity to fire spark plugs anyways.... a spare battery or a better alternator would quickly fix the power drain. Problem is this and I had an expert mechanic discuss it, Hydrogen burns hotter than fuel, your cylinders need not only rust coating but the chamber must sustain a more powerful burst at a much higher temperature. Second problem is you still need fuel. No the only Hydrogen solution is running completely on water, meaning a well engineered and designed engine to burn only Hydrogen. Hydrogen storage tanks out of the question, conversion system is cheap, you'd rather pay $5/gal. on fuel and cannot buy new rods every week ? How expensive are a pair of 6" rods, you tell me ? Oh the hustle duuudee.... get back to surfing ! Stop complaining and JUST DO IT ! |
