Noob experiment

[xddorox]

Well I've been tinkering all my life and I am a certified bicycle mechanic. After seeing an electrolysis device on Youtube, I decided to make one with what I had available to me. Small plastic peanut butter jar, SS from a vegetable strainer, distilled water and baking soda. I've plugged this into the airbox of my scooter(50cc 4 cycle air cooled Chinese job) and saw an immediate improvement. Smoother running engine, better acceleration and clean exhaust gases. I am now checking for fuel mileage and very early findings point to 160 mpg(imperial) compared to the normal 100 mpg. Being eager, I haven't built a bubbler for it yet, but that's in the works. Any comments or pointers would be appreciated. My next step is to build one for my gas guzzling 1994 Chevy APV.

Impressive improvement in mpg!  Could you give us an idea of gas production, or at least your current/voltage setup?  Thanks.

a friend directed the HHO gas output into the vacuum hose that directly goes into the intake manifold (by-passing the carburator)...he had better fuel efficiency (at least doubled) and good throttle response - it was a 1600cc VW bug.

btw, you need the bubbler for safety (a backfire can occur if you tap the line to the intake manifold). he didn't "manufacture" the bubbler... he used the radiator coolant overflow container.  these overflow containers is so far the best bubbler that is ready made and relatively cheap to buy.

I plug it on the 12V system of the scooter. I haven't measured production, but the jar contains 300ml of distilled water with about a teaspoon of baking soda. Like I said, the results are very early ones.

Just put in some fuel and mileage is more in the range of 104mpg (Imperial)
