intro:
HHO generator
Hi frnds!
Here I am at my attempt to give you more information about powering engine using water.
This instructable is a part of my previous one. Do visit that one to get a clear idea.
I am posting a video on how to build a HHO generator which will produce HHO gas to power your car's engine.
The video has part 2 for details. It leads you to a site and wants you to buy the guide.
I am posting my version and giving you a detailed information on how to do it.
Let's start!
step 1:
Things we need
Things we need.
Parts:
1. Glass jar with plastic lid
2. Pet/squeeze bottle
3. 1000mm long braided wire
4. 500mm long water pipe
5. 1000mm long electric wire
6. CD case or thick plastic sheet
7. 2 screws with nut
8. Hollow screw with nut
9. Cheap pen without refill
10. Fuse
Tools:
1. Drill machine with bits
2. Screw driver set
3. Saw
4. Ruler
5. Plase
http://www.instructables.com/id/HHO-generator/
step 2:
Setting the plastic lid
Remove the lid from the jar and with the help of ruler mark the centre of the lid.
Mark four holes for HHO gas, 2screws and fuse.
Drill holes through the marked points and insert screws and fuse respectively.
Now, take the cheap pen and cut near the rear end and insert the piece in the HHO gas hole (watch the video).
Now, insert the water pipe at one of the pen. Connect the wires to the screws.
The lid is now ready.

[NOTE: When saving, if you see .tmp as the file ext, rename it to 'Video000.3gp']
step 3:
Making the wire mesh for electrolysis
For making wire mesh, take a plastic sheet and divide it from centre. Then cut into 2 pieces using a saw as shown below.
Mark the center of each of 2 pieces and draw a line from the centre to one end. Cut using saw as shown below.
Now, carefully drill holes and cut small grooves at the end of the piece and join them as shown below.
Use the braided wire and cut it into 2 and insert in each of the 2 holes of the plastic sheet. Cover the sheet with the wire as shown below and then connect the 2 ends of
the wire to each screw respectively.
It should look similar to figure shown below.
http://www.instructables.com/id/HHO-generator/
http://www.instructables.com/id/HHO-generator/
step 4:
setting up the pet/squeeze bottle
Make a hole and insert the pipe in the bottle. Make sure the pipe reaches to the bottom of the bottle.
Now, drill a second hole and insert the hollow screw there.
This hole is for using the HHO gas. Fill the bottle with water and leave some space for air.
The Center one will pass the HHO gas through water and you will see bubbles coming out. The gas will than escape through the hollow screw which can then be used for
combustion.
http://www.instructables.com/id/HHO-generator/
http://www.instructables.com/id/HHO-generator/
step 5:
Summary
The assembly is complete.
Fill some distilled water and 3-4 tea spoons of baking soda. Connect the electric wires to 6V to 12V battery to start the process. HHo gas is released from water. It travels
through the pipe into the bottle releasing bubbles and escape from the hollow screw.
You can use this gas to run your vehicles engine.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SEALED ALL LEAKS.
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ACCIDENTS AND/OR CASUALTY CAUSED DURING TRYING THIS EXPERIMENT.
VISIT www.hho4cars.com to know more about the use of this gas. Pass on this instructable to all your friends and relatives and let them know the benefits of water.
Enjoy!

Mythbusters were closest to actually proving this 'Hydrogen Car' thing, even though many people said they hadn't built the generator properly.
If they re-tested the idea of the generator using the improvements people have stated online, then this phenomenon could be conclusively proved or
disproved.
To put my two cents in, it doesn't look practical to run a car off hydrogen using the currently available generators, whether they be homemade or not. People
online could only fill a shopping bag's worth of hydrogen in five minutes. It could however improve the efficiency and mileage of a car, like some users have
said.
Finally, I agree with that other guy, there is NO SUCH THING as HHO. It is simply hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2). It could also be the oxygen from this
system that makes the internal combustion work better, instead of the hydrogen.
http://www.instructables.com/id/HHO-generator/
says:
I have only heard HHO used when talking about the gasses; two Hydrogens for every oxygen (but they are diatomic, so it becomes 4 hydrogens for
every two oxygens, but the idea is the same). So, HHO means 2 parts hydrogen, one part oxygen, but some people are probably stupid and misuse this.
says:
I completely agree with the misuse thing, but then again, I've heard too many people talk about 'HHO' as if it is a new chemical.
says:

is it possible to run entire car on HOH?
says:
It is possible if enough Hydrogen is released. Unfortunately, most people aren't using the correct energy levels to accomplish this. It is completely
possible and shortly I'll be selling the assembled device on eBay. This device will allow a car to go as fast as it can. Hydrogen on demand in almost
unlimited quantities.
says:
If you generated enough, but only since current cells generate so little, only small appliances can be run (generators, lawn mowers, etc)
says:
For all the nay sayers out there why don't you try it before you start spewing anti rederic. HHO is totally possible and can run your car a 100%. If any body
wants to bother looking first at the burn ratios hydrogen is hotter than gas (i.e. you need less for combustion). Next figure out how much gas is actually
injected into a cylinder/cycle. You will find if you can make around one and a half to two liters of HHO you can run just about any car you want. You can do
this by high voltage or high current. And if you know about power supplies creating the electronics for it is possible. Try it if nothing else it's fun. Check out
you tube, lots of people "unable to do it."
says:
"For all the nay sayers out there why don't you try it before you start spewing anti rederic. (sic)"
I'm sorry, I don't understand you. Do you mean "Andy Rodderick" or "empty rhetoric"?
"HHO is totally possible"
No, it isn't. Ask any chemist. H2O comes in only one form: HOH.
HHO is a name devised by scammers to give people the impression that they've discovered a new compound when in reality they've done no such thing.
"and can run your car a 100%. (sic)"
Hydrogen can run a car with enough modifications, sure. But you you can't run a car on hydrogen made from water without some outside power source.
That's absolutely ridiculous when you give it the least amount of critical thought. It's like thinking you can fly just by tugging up on your belt.
"You will find if you can make around one and a half to two liters of HHO you can run just about any car you want."
Yeah, for two whole cycles.

Where there two types of hydrogen discovered that the rest of us arent knowing about?
Yeah, for two whole cycles.
Apparently you've never experienced a flashback...
says:
the only amount of power needed to make this work comes of the battery or the alternator and I know this works because I have this same exact
system supplementing the gas in my car and it tripled my gas mileage and I used a really small rig if I wanted to I could have a creaking aquarium
powering my car and as for recharging the battery because I know that would come up all you need to do is hook it up to a tire and have the rotation
recharging the battery or I would just prefer the supplementing stem.
so stick that in your pipe and smoke it you creaking lizard
you gone tell me its not possible I have the rig in my car as I am typing this and guess what....... iv saved 900 dollars this past 5 months
ajparag good ible but just for future you might wanna try an anode and cathode that is a little more stable than mesh. with what you got the screen
will corroed and dissolve, which don't get me wrong is cool to watch but there's always that chance of spark and it can really mess up your day I have
the singed eyebrows to prove it
dam flashback sucks

says:
Nren2k5 at least you have some sense in you, i'm sick of all these misinformed 12 year olds on this site.
says:
you two are extremely close minded maybe its people like you that are the reason we have to try to find new fuel sources. I know for a fact that
this works I put this system into my ford 2000 and my gas mileage had tripled. and while were on the subject how do you know it doesn't
work???? do you believe everything you read ?????? just because a bunch of close minded fossils(like you)think something is impossible just
because of something another old fossil said is impossible. doesn't make it impossible. if you got out more and maybe tried this yourself in your
car. maybe you wouldn't seem so quick to judge and disrespect other people.
says:
would you please send this site a picture of your Hydrogen generator cell that you have been experimenting with..... someone with your outstanding
knowledge would be a great benefit to us dummies who are using this gas to power a portion of our vehicles and would love to see how you have
come to your interesting conclusions and don't forget to post your data as well. and yes it could be Rodderick or it could be rhetoric.either way most
understood the meaning and most understand your meaning as well. now don't forget to post you data ............ DO IT NOW
says:
sorry, but HHO gas is not ment to run your car!
HHO is supposed to be an additive to your fuel to increase mileage and efficiency. if your generator can run your car, i wish to see it.
says:
"HHO is supposed to be an additive to your fuel to increase mileage and efficiency."
"supposed to be" by people who do not know any better. "HHO" does not help an engine perform better: it decreases miles per gallon, every time,
without exception.

thanks for correcting me.....u guys do pay attention on the content.
Still, someday i will like to prove u wrong!!!
Hav a nice day!
says:
"Still, someday i will like to prove u wrong!!!"
The laws of physics already proved the "HHO" cult clowns wrong.
says:
The mythbusters ran a car on pure hydrogen.
On TV.
They hosed hydrogen right into the carb and it ran no problems until they had a flashback...

"water4gas web site provides such conversion kits"
Yes; it's a scam. Their devices do not work.

How many dozen of these do you need to run your car?
http://www.instructables.com/id/HHO-generator/
says:
"How many dozen of these do you need to run your car?"
Several hundred, actually, and also some gasoline. These "HHO" devices waste gasoline, and they add nothing to the performance of the engine.

This is completely worthless.
1) There's no such thing as HHO. Water is HOH, and it's H2 and O2 that are being produced.
2) The energy you're using to breakdown the water into hydrogen and oxygen is more than the energy you get back, and ultimately that energy is coming
from gasoline.
3) The amount of hydrogen produced is tiny.
4) I'm not sure about this one, but I think the baking soda is making CO2 gas rather than speeding hydrogen production. More pretty bubbles, sure, but it
isn't actually doing any good.
says:
From a government agency
Just one thing from the article
Because of the wide flammability range of hydrogen, an internal combustion engine (ICE) operating on hydrogen can operate with a much leaner air/fuel
mixture than a typical gasoline engine, which improves efficiency. A hydrogen ICE developed by Ford Motor Company can operate with an air fuel ratio
as high as 86:1, compared to 14.7:1 for typical gasoline engines (see Figure 7). This results in about a 25 percent improvement in efficiency (NEW-
CARS, 2003).

Yes, I know.
Let's be clear:
Hydrogen injection = beneficial.
Onboard electrolysis = not beneficial.

That's wrong. You don't get H, H and O, you get H2 and O2.

if you just glance at any chemistry book, you would find out that you only get 1 oxygen atom and 2 hydrogen atoms from one molecule of
h2o. If there were two oxygen atoms in the molecule it would be called h2o2, and its not h2o2 is hydrogen peroxide, and that is an
antiseptic. Some people should really do some research before they go saying random thoughts on projects like this, BY THE WAY, I AM
17 YEARS OLD AND I JUST PROVED YOU WRONG, HOWS THAT FOR A WORKING BRAIN?

And if you just glance at any chemistry book, you would find out that many elements (hydrogen and oxygen being two of them) form
diatomic molecules, e.g. H
2
and O
2
.
So the formula (omitting energy) is 2H
2
O -> 2H
2
+ O
2
.
So maybe you should do some research before you jump in and tell people they're wrong.

enough!
you've got a bunch of laymen trying to come up with a name for a gas.
besides, it's the results we're after, so you're wasting your breath on the name.

it's nice to see an educated person adding their hard earned education in with the uneducated portion of society. I am educated as
well (Automitive performance specialist) . the question for the engineer is. the oxygen sensor tells pcm to add fuel due to the extra
oxygen added by the generator. we fool the pcm by adding a voltage oscilator to the oxygen sensor. this makes the pcm lean out
the fuel. leaner burns hotter. hot enough can cause a melt down. does the hydrogen prevent the hot lean condition. if not what
does it do exactly. and is that why the voltage oscilator cannot be run by itself without a generator. this is a serious question for (
the moog ).

"the oxygen sensor tells pcm to add fuel due to the extra oxygen added by the generator."
the devices do not produce enough oxygen to bother the sensor, nor the computer. At 5 liters per minute, the additional
0.167% oxygen isn't even noticed.

My apologies, I didn't mean you. The official name is Browns Gas, as you know, but people with just a little knowledge(or just
lazy)gave it the name HHO, and it has stuck.
Besides, I'm the layman here, and I say get down to business: drop the name debate and tell us if it works!
Sincerely yours,
Mud :p

no it's not completely worthless and no it doesn't take more energy to create it
than you can produce over unity is not unachievable ! it has been done already
if you actually do some research you will find science needs to re write the laws of physics
with this kind of system people are saving from 30% up to 95% on fossil fuel
though there are a number of safety devices you need and it's not advised to use salt use Sodium Bicarbonate (Sodium hydroxide take caution this is
very caustic) things to think about is stainless steel will leach out hexavalent chromium during electrolysis which is very poisonous and can be absorbed
through the skin you cant just pour it out on the ground or down the toilet this stuff is pretty dangerous
and NRen2k5 we all call it HHO there are many people around the world building these devices and these are engineers, chemists, even BMW gave it a
shot and no using baking soda as an electrolyte does not make CO2 during the electrolysis process if you want to learn some facts about HHO
go onto youtube and type Zero fossil fuel into the search field
the coil cell in this instructable works well...

No, they are not.
says:
other things you will need are
Pulse Width Modulator (AKA DC motor Speed Controller)
flash back arrestor, Bubbler, and use a DC power supply for experimentation & bench testing your cell designs
and never put a flame near the gas outlet hose
you will blow your Cell apart in a big way and it could shower you with chemicals depending what your using for an electrolyte and sharp pieces of glass or
plastic this stuff burns 40 times faster than normal petrol so if it goes off the damage is done before you have time to even realize it
PS and again just for NRen2k5 your right it's Browns gas not HHO

jokes on you
says:
If you are decomposing the water molecules to produce hydrogen, where is the oxygen in this reaction?... IT WILL GO TO THE OTHER BOTTLE JUST LIKE
HYDROGEN! Please explain this.

what file extension is .3gp and what do i need to play it?
says:
Aug 23, 2008. 8:00 PM
.3gp is a cellphone video format....
for playing it on ur pc ui need quick time player or real player
says:
Aug 23, 2008. 8:26 PM
I have realplayer and quicktime. i tried both but they never worked.

I have been looking all over instructables for someone who did something a little more complicated like i did and i finally found it!
says:

thanks!
I hope ur version receives more attention than mine....after all we both have the same objective....to pass on this piece of technology to all...
All the best for ur project!!!
