Very informative video as always, I’m always very happy when I see you uploaded a new video! I actually rebuild a few of your projects and they turned out very well!
It is not informative video, it is untruthful video. It is not hydrogen, it is brown's gas. Brown's gas is dangerous, it explodes very loudly from very small spark. Hydrogen instead burns mildly.
Using SS threaded rod and with alternating stack of large and small SS washers increased the surface area and reduced the number of chambers required for optimal output. Using lye as an electrolyte gave excellent results. Nicely done btw.
Personally I would add a few flash arrestors or one way valves in the hoses to protect the generator from exploding if a flame goes backwards through them.
It is a little bit safer by feeding the gas through water, as the water will most likely stop the flame from going backwards, if the hose is far enough from the top.
He would just need to place another jar where all materials collect, using the same method here, then out to his last jar for collection as he has done. Spark arrestor complete. Safety 1st!
100%true I hate seeing all these videos with none so join doe comes along builds one and hurts him self because they left that part out.. good call even have a bubbler back up
this is creating a mix of hydrogen and oxygen. (I believe it is called browns gas but correct me if I am wrong!) you need to collect the gas from the anodes and the cathodes separately using a divider to be able to get pure hydrogen and pure oxygen.
When will you get your act together and realize that just by "VIBRATING the water at the correct frequency will release 10 times as much Hydrogen. Today's technology is so lame!! They could also inject the "B" field of a magnet at the correct frequency and release 100 times more Hydrogen per volume. It needs to be a vibration, not a oscillation big difference!! The "B" field is the most powerful part of a magnet! FACT!! it is the center part of a magnetic force.. If you want to play with anti gravity just tap the center of any bar magnet on any plastic or glass object it will loose weight!! Don't tap on any metal or iron it will disrupt the magnetic field. The entire universe is 100% magnetic . We should be able to develop a simple Hydrogen generator regulator that is small enough to attach next to any standard auto carburetor. The height of ones intelligence is directly proportional to their realization of their own ignorance
. Great design! It is identical to another process. It's called electroplating. This is when DC current is used to deposit a thin metal coating onto a dissimilar metal surface. This is not necessarily a bad thing but, over time, you will notice that the bolts that are connected to the negative terminal of your DC power source will begin to thin out and eventually disintegrate. This is because electricity, AKA moving electrons, have a negative charge and emanate from the negative terminal of any DC source, battery or mains powered, and migrate towards the positive terminal carrying metal ions from those negative going bolts with them and depositing said metal ions onto the positive going bolts. Even stainless steel is not immune to physics. It's just a little more resistant to the caustic effects of the potassium hydroxide. This trick won't restore damaged threads onto your bolts but one way to extend the life of your electrodes is to keep track of the running time of your unit. Then, at equal intervals, hours, days, weeks whatever, reverse the polarity of your power source. Being that your unit premixes the hydrogen and oxygen gases internally, you will not notice any change in it's function. If it isolated the two gases from each other, then the gas emanating from the vessels would also be reversed. Another way to extend electrode life. Potassium hydroxide is caustic. The alkali equivalent to the corrosiveness of acid. If you remove the electrodes from the solution when not in use and rinse them in plain water, this will stop any chemical reactions. If you buy 4 more plastic jars, you can use the extra lids to keep your electrolyte solution from evaporating. On a different note, being that the 2 gases are premixed within the HHO unit, itself, they are at the perfect fuel / air ratio for a very energetic explosion should a spark or flame source find it's way to the end of an open hose connected directly to the HHO generator. If this happens, it will travel, literally, in a flash like blasting "det cord" right back to those 4 caustic fluid filled grenades just bubbling away at making their own explosive. They will then be showering their maker with a nice, hot, caustic, blinding bath. In essence, literally biting the hands, (and face), that feeds them. As a service to your viewers, I would advise them to build a flash arrester for your unit AND USE IT!!! A simple flash arrestor can be built out of a plastic bottle. Gatorade or Powerade for example as they are very sturdy, 2 pieces of hose and some water. 1) Drill 2 holes in the top of the bottle cap the size of the hoses. 2) Pull a LONG HOSE through the cap to reach 3/4 of the way to the bottom of the bottle. 3) Pull a SHORT HOSE through the cap to reach only 1 to 2 inches inside. 4)Use silicone caulk to seal the hoses to the cap and let set to cure. 5) Fill the bottle 3/4 full of water. DO NOT cover the end of the SHORT HOSE with water inside the bottle. 6) Connect the LONG HOSE to the HHO vessel. 7) Use the SHORT HOSE as the gas source. As the HHO generator produces gas, it will travel through the LONG HOSE and bubble up through the water exiting the bottle through the SHORT HOSE. If a spark finds it's way to the end of the SHORT HOSE, the gas will only burn for whatever the length of this hose, into the flash arrestor and stop at the water's surface. You'll want to use a plastic bottle for the arrestor to allow for temporary expansion during an accidental detonation. A short "POP" in a plastic bottle may make it jump but the same "POP" in a glass bottle will make a bloody mess.
For anyone wondering, it is safer to use drain cleaner than regular salt, because using salt (NaCl) will split into toxic chlorine gas during the electrolysis.
@@sunsetindigochild3798 it was about adding the chlorine in form of kitchen salt, if you don't do that, the chlorine concentration will be pretty low nonetheless.
I have a question about the wiring, You just need to hook cables on the far end plates? how do the rest get the electricity? As you can see I have no idea about electrical circuits. Thanks.
How much power does that draw for the Hydrogen you get? I'm thinking of designing a unit to use 5-10 kilowatt input and see how much H2 I can get per day
ciekawe co dzialoby sie gdyby do stalowego cylindra wpompowac sam wodor bez tlenu, wlac troche wody dodac trocin uszczelnic i podgrzewac. mozliwe ze drewno, wodor i woda zaczelyby reagowac i moze cos w rodzaju palnej cieczy mogloby powstac. to moglby byc ciekawy odcinek. Pozdrawiam!
Excellent, how large would one be to power a generator, or can this be stored for long periods of time, from an apparatus the size you have shown.? Cheers.
I used old time tooth cleaning powder for electrolyte , it builds up on the electrodes to protect them . Mine was made with bike spokes & rubber bands in plastic pipe . It would generate by just being in the sun .
What impressive? It is not hydrogen generator as is written in title, it is brown's gas generator. Brown's gas is dangerous, it explodes very loudly from very small spark. Hydrogen instead burns mildly.
if you place a partial divider (from the lid down to the liquid level) between the anode and cathode and use two hoses from each jar, you will produce separate the oxygen and hydrogen
Hi, I hope you are doing great. Thank you for your very easy to understand and very detailed DIY videos. I was wondering have you ever routed the hydrogen gas into an empty brand new propane tank and substituted the propane with hydrogen gas? I was wondering do you think that type of propane tank conversion project is possible and safe with your expertise in making DIY generators? I was wondering did you already take on that project? And if so, can you share the link to your video. In case you haven't tried it. Would you be willing to try it and make a video of the steps involved like you do? Thank you for your genuine contribution in educating people in this amazing area of DIY projects. Hope you prosper in your endeavors. Thanks, Kim
dont do this with a hho or combined output generator. only attempt this with a split output generator where you have a pure hydrogen pipe also before you attempt this get yourself a vacumm pump and see if the tank is airproof. then fill it a little with hydrogen and set the hydrogen that is in the tank a fire. this should use up all the oxygen currently in the tank. now it should be ready to filll and store long time
In indonesia we put the hose to motorcycle/car air filter when the motorcycle turn on it produce gas to air filter and can make the fuel consumtion less and more economical. *before you do it please use pure distillation water ,it will make the remaining calsium dust from the evaporation of water that is not pure distilled water.
Very cool project, you should increase the surface area of the electrodes with flat inox surfaces intersected with one another: This will make your generator a lot more powerful , increasing by an important factor the production of gas. Also a double chamber bubbler (filter) would be optimal for protection of the main chambers, check bubbler on yt and google. Maybe you already know these things but better be the annoying kid than not saying anything. Good luck from Italy 😛
Great Video // This in series wiring config would be more voltage required for optimum output. Alt parallel connection would require less voltage and pull more current(Amps) which might be better because you can maintain 12V and add more batteries in parallel adding Ah. Since the current is the flow and not voltage. Also in series the system has a higher resistance from container to container. IE if used in automotive or RV application. Also I would make the tubes about 2 inches put the T's center nipple in 2 3 and 4 and run slightly bigger tubes from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 the out down the center. plus add a fifth jar with only water for flash back protection. Just some thoughts. Also Agree with @Mark Durbin
Good points. But this design ignores *surface area and spacing* so completely thats its a disservice... this is strangely like a Joe cell which is for something else. I hope ppl get Wiseman's info before making something similar to this that will have too low a cap on its gas output to energy in ability
Also talking 'series', When using multiple cells, cell 1 hh/O output should be piped to the bottom of cell 2 through a fine screen to thin the electrolite (instead of multiple BIG bubbles). I also think there should be a separator. Do this through all cells in the system. Perhaps the last cell in the system will draw the least current by having higher numbers of free h & O bubbles.
I have a piece of stainless I'm going to chop up and see how much H it will produce. It's 6x36, not sure yet what the best way to divide it is yet but working on it.
Good build i enjoyed this video. Just a though, but May be consider subjecting the electrolyte to external forces such as magnetism, or inside an electo magnetic field, ultra violet light, a vacume during opperation. There is a home scientist in Australia who is getting very interesting results with laser lights aimed directly into the electrolyte with out using toxic hydroxides. He is getting good returns too. Just a thought. Love your work.

Hi! Is that regular water, or distilled water? Could you explain to mw why pottasium hydroxide is better than sodium hydroxide? I'm asking because I just watched a short video comparing the the two on how fast it would corode an alluminum ball and the sodium hydroxide was much stronger, the aluminum in water sodium hydroxide solution turned black way faster.
What would you different to increase the HHO output gas volume Maciej ??? I like the idea with four jars side by side. Maybe more experiments with HHO would be nice.
I would 1st, glass jars don't yield under high temperature rather they are a great source of thermodynamic dispersion and worst case scenario knock the generator off the table of the ground and it'll break the jars. Second larger diameter hoses, smaller diameter thread stock and closer proximity to one another. Here we have current going to you high load capable basically fuel rods. Because those thick m24 rods can handle high amperage can sustain my average pull on it just because they're so thick, we're wasting energy. Smaller rods much closer proximity any little little gap between them creates high volume gas. 4. One Way gas check valves on the gas outline from the jars. 5. Adding a buck board, a PWM + polarity switching. Once you have stabilized increase production rate, you can have a heating problem. Next step adding a liquid cooler such as one from a computer system a water clean computer system, that has a pump and an external radiator morning fans.. replace when we check valves with a bubbler between the generator and the outline that but there's also going to have a a secondary type line the line facing in a pump out of it through the radiator and return the electrolyte back to the bubbler. And the bottom bubbler will feed a liquid inlet line into the four generators.
@@williamedwards6519 Thank you Sir for giving me such a detailed answer to my questions. I am in the process of making me an HHO generator. Have been checking out information for the generator using different techniques and materials. Have you considered using graphite plates with I do believe urea solution based liquid can increase output a few more times output. Do not remember the exact number ?? Good day to you Sir also. vf
Generalnie to fajny i prosty temat do zrobienia, ale. Do czego to wykorzystać i jak ( ja np: miałem w golfie 3 jako dodatek do powietrza zrobiony na przekazniku i drugim przycisku podgrzewania tylnej szyby użyłem tego 3razy bo miałem źle dopasowany ( moze za dużo)chlorek potasu i palił mi przekaznik. To było z 15 lat temu mam ten swój generator do dzis zakopany w szpejach garazowych
but it is not only hydrogen but also mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. It would be better if you had used two separate tank to collect hydrogen and oxygen. Anyway the video is too good :)
thanks fo sharing such a great video. How much hydrogen produced from each kg of water? can we also used seawater becuase world is already shortage of fresh water.
Prova a farlo mettendo le barre filettate il più vicino possibile aumenterà la produzione di idrogeno, Aggiungi anche un "bubbler" per ridurre il rischio di fuoriuscita della soluzione elettrolotica. Ottimo lavoro
I have done this but if you try what TNT has done and try graphite foil resistance will go down and efficiency will go up. I plan on doing this method at a later time
Is there a thermal reaction during the electrohydrolysis of water? That is, do you need to take flasks made of heat-sensitive plastic or not? Thank you!
I understand that the current goes in one side and comes out the other but how does the current reach the other end when the metal strips are not connected
