HHO Cell - Stan Meyer Design.

I understand FD ... but if you don't mind me asking - what voltage are you using and please don't tell me it's 12 or 24 Volts - the amplitude of such voltages is way to low to be able to do any serious effects on the water ... you need a whack pile more than this ... my best guess is between 600 and a 1000 Volts. I finally managed to assemble a step-up transformer which produces (much to my dismay) only 537 VDC ... but this might already prove to be enough unfortunately am I still waiting on the switching transistor and the bifilar coils .... oh and see attached pic of my version of the VIC - seems it does what it should do (almost electrocuted myself with them stupid capacitors) LOL

Hi Peter

Right, I'm using a simple 555 timer cct to trigger an automtove coil. Output voltage is around 15KV.

Using the set up shown, the 15KV output of the coil is connected to one end of the hollow copper brake piping coiled around the outside of the glass jar - the other end of the coil is left open.  The water inside then, is electrically isolated by the insulation of the glass. However, if I approach the water with a conductor to earth ground, then I get sparks of around 1/2" jumping to/from the surface of the water - I cannot get sparks off the insulating glass jar.

To my mind this must mean that the high voltage is inducing the water to greatly ionise.  I just need to find a way to make use of this without drawing additional current from the supply.  Which is exactly what I'm experimenting with at present.

Alright! Pictures!

Hi HB,

Thanks for joining in the party ... note on the inner pipes they are a tad bit to small from what I can tell - here is a place where you can get the proper dimensions of pipes, it's a tad bit pricey but it's proper pipes and the right material http://www.courtiestown.co.uk/

Thanks Peter, and a wonderful party it is! As far as the tube dimensions, I followed the diagram below. The length is roughly 16 inches of 304. Compared to the pic of Stan's, it looks spot on to me.

Thanks for the link! Have you purchased from these guys? I don't live in the U.K. which makes the price a little higher for me. Interesting stuff though. That 101 Boyce cell looks pretty cool.
