@ S
Welcome, and I should say anyone who has HHO experience is welcome to post.
I love the monicor, S, nice.

I better take a look at blown pistons HHO and see what that brings up.
I'll post here anything I find about this.

Putting AC instead of DC through the plates to make HHO,,,hmmm gotta do some more lookseeing on da web but if anyone has any experience using AC instead of DC, please post. Gonna b busy a bit

5. I see that heat is an issue. Howcome I have'nt seen anyone try and pump the water mix through a radiator with a large PC fan or something? By doing so, you would effectively cool it and keep the cell from overheating, would you not? Although using a thermostat as well you could keep the cell hot enough to maximize production, but not burn anything up, right?

Not to give away too much of what I am working on, but...

@ Foster,
Nice radiator and fan setup, seems I have seen one of them ina PC 

I think I noticed  a car washer pump in the background.

One could use a car heater and fan setup if the HHO cell is a biggish one, maby even use a PWM unit to alter the fan speed too.

Yup, it's a PC liquid cooling rad, cost about $30 - perfect size for this application. The 5" 12VDC fan was surplus, $5. Yes, car washer pump that I turn off and on manually as it can't run continuous otherwise it will overheat and blow up. I was concerned that the water flow might affect HHO generation, however it doesn't seem to, it may even help dislodge gas from the plates. I am working on a circuit with a thermostat to turn fan off/on and pulse the pump. I also want to put a filter inline with this to try and remove the brown "gunk" that seems to inevitably build up. I have discovered the amount of "gunk" increases as the heat increases, so this may not be necessary with the cooling.

The entire issue of excess heat concerns me, as it is energy waste. I have noted that HHO output decreases as the temperature increases. It also wreaks havoc on whatever plates, etc. I have been testing. This whole method of production using high current electrolysis is extremely crude, as many of you already know.

On a different tangent, and I have never seen this mentioned here - I saw a TV program the other night about the Nazi's in WWII working on nuclear bomb development - I never realized that "heavy water" was created by electrolysis ( well, sort of - the regular water breaks down into gas, the "heavy water" is left behind, all water has heavy water in it, so electrolysis increases the percentage of heavy water).

Use a larger radiator like the oil cooler radiators and install it in front of your radiator in the car than circulate the water trough in it with a electric pump. The radiator you have is way too small, you will see when the heat start to climb up, it will not able to cool the water down well (personal experience).
