I must appologize to my readers for not posting recently, after doing the research that I did and learning the things that I’ve learned I discovered enough to know what it would take to build a proper HHO system that would be truely optimized! I discovered that to really figure out exactly what specs to use for a system I would need a decent Oscilliscope. These cost about $2000 for a reasonably nice one. So the HHO project had to be put on hold until I can get past my current financial situation. Lets just say I owe some money to the big tax man for my work as a contractor last year…ironicly writing tax software.
Let me close this series of HHO threads off by stating what I’ve learned leading up to this point with regards to Hydrogen. I know this will interest those of you who are looking to build systems, and a new reader who has expressed interest in the work of Stanley Meyers.
On that note, I’ve learned the when you perform electrolosis on water typically you have some form of metal suspended in a solution of water. The water contains electrolytes to act as a catalyst in the chemical reaction, such as salt, Potasium Hydroxide, or Sodium Hydroxide, or Sodium Bicarbonate, as discusted in previous posts. It doesn’t matter what configuration you are using for the point I want to make because of the conditions I’ve placed on the configuration as stated above. If you have wire, tubes, mesh, plates, coils, whatever it is, the edges of these components have what is called a “Leak Charge”. This means that some of the electric current passing through the device leaks around the edges and corners of your metal components. This “leak charge” still does work on the system resulting in heating the solution but does not contribute to the breaking of Hydrogen and Oxygen bonds. This is the primary reason why the solution will get warm or even hot over time. So you are essentially paying for the performance of your device and as result you have a glorified water heater. If you see bubbles and your solution is very hot, it is not necessarily Hydrogen and Oxygen. Rather it is just steam boiling off as if you where going to use that water to cook up some pasta.
Now I don’t recommend putting noodles in your electrolosis reactor, however, alternative design configurations should be considered to reduce this performance loss to the system. A
