John Aarons: This Could Be IT "0" point

does anyone know how he had his bateries hooked up? I'd love to give this a shot. HHO is going to be the future

All the batteries in this pic (A. B. C. D.) are facing the same direction with the negative terminals closest to the viewer.

D (+) is connected to A (+).
A (-) is connected to B (+).
B (-) is connected to C (+)

This leaves terminals C (-) and D (-) open. Even though these are both negative, these are the terminals connected to, as one is slightly more positive than the other.

He also had a switching mechanism that every 60 seconds would alternate C. and D., so that B (-) went to D (-)...and I imagine C (+) went to A (+). Though I'm not sure about that last part.

This is how the batteries are connected from what I know, and you connect the cell across the two negatives on the two batteries to the right.

Guys, I'm sorry but this is pure folly.

In the above diagram, if each cell is 12v, all you've got is 24v across the negative terminals of C & D. When drawing current cells A, B & C are discharging, D is being charged. The charging energy consumed by D is evenly shared by A, B & C. The only thing accomplished is that you might overcharge D. I don't care where the electrons go. Energy is not being gained. It is being lost to heat.
