Hydrogen Generator with heavy duty CPVC Mason Jar lids

[bandr60]

HHO King,

I purchased my PWM from www.extremehho.com great pwm's that are enclosed with a cooling fan and front mounted amp. meter and controls.
I like that you can mount these right on your dash and monitor and control your amperage between highway and city driving which is crucial to saving your alternator from over working.

Finally, I found this thread again. I have been looking in HHO threads!

OK so, I want to say the lids are really great.

Strong, sturdy very tight. Canning jar lids are meant to distort so you can see any expansion inside caused by bacteria. But this distortion is no good here.

This lid is solid.

Great job, Bandr60.

BTW,
I have been conditioning my plates in distilled water. I just wanted to get that started even tho I didn't have a pwm to set the thing up as Ravi describes.

The part I find interesting is that with pure distilled water, after the first hour where there was zero activity, I started to get some bubbles. Now there is a steady stream of bubbles rising to the top whenever the battery is connected. I guess I have a month or so to go.

I'm using a 0.47R on the + side of the 12 V battery and the voltage is showing 0.048V which means the amperage is about 0.1A.

The brown color has been forming on the bottom as usual.

Anyway, again thanks for a good lid,

Hi Jeanna,

I observed the same effects with just distilled water for conditioning, What I believes happening is as you continue to condition the plates they are allowing the hydrogen to release quicker.
This is the main reason why I sand the plates diagonally .
I am also very pleased with how well the lids turned out. My new ones will have a fill plug so you can add distilled water without having to open these.
I have been experimenting with a pwm and am awed at how little electrolite it takes to get really good production at very low amps.
I am also looking at designing a resistor that can be adjustable so the generators never get over say 125 degrees as anything hotter than this will cause the electrolite to burn and decrease it's effectiveness. You never want to run the cells more than 140 degrees so I figured 125 was a good number.
I will keep you updated with my studies as I continue my experiments. one more thing that I have been doing is adding an 1/8" thick cpvc bar to each side of the cells to help with the energy loss out of the edges rather than sealing with epoxy.
Once I get ahead a little bit I will mail you 2 of these with the proper tie wraps so you can try it out.
Thank you for the feedback. I like to hear how they are working for all my customers.

Thanks again,
Bill

I looked at the place where you were buying the pwm and they must be out. there is no longer a link to sell these.

I am putting the pieces together to make a single 555 timer on-off pulse. I am getting help. I can't yet see how the power doesn't go through the timer, but I will see some day.

Ahh I love learning... good thing too! 

Any idea for an alternate source of pwm?

Jeanna,

There are alot of pwm's available that are really cheap, E-Bay or just google search. The reason I like Extreme HHO's is because they are enclosed with an amp. meter to monitor your cell, they also have a cooling fan and a  30 amp. breaker so they dont burn up.
But for what your doing you could get an inexpesive one and just run an external fan to keep it cool.
for probably $35.00. here's a link were you can possibly get one. hhogeneratorkits.com/pwm-pulse-width-modulators/.
Again I will continue to share what I find that works!
