Can I ask a very basic question? How come the gas is referred to as "HHO", aka "Brown's gas"?
It is really 2 x H2 + O2, right? You electrolyze the water with AC, producing a dangerous explosive 2H2 + O2 gas mixture. Wouldn't it be better to electrolyze the water with DC, and only combine the H2 and O2 gases when you want to burn them or put them in a fuel cell? That would make the experiments a lot safer.

Scientifically illiterate morons. its not a tesla coil and there is no such thing as "HHO". The reason why there is little dissociation is because there is only a small current flowing through the circuit. Low current=low rate of electrolysis in the water cell.
Its chemistry and physics 101. There is nothing new or interesting here.

You obviously have never done anything in an experimental environment and I would dare say you think you know everything and suppose the world is still flat, man will never fly, we never went to the moon, you can’t go faster than the speed of sound, and HHO doesn’t exist, Question have you ever used a screw driver I doubt it otherwise you would only have 1 eye.

man!! you are brave guy...this experiment is so deadly. one single mistake can kill you.

If you have played a around with this stuff you would know only a little bit of HHO is produced per unit time. The expansion of the gas is 1800 to 1. 1/2 of a gram of water would expand to 1 liter of gas, and the amount produced per spark episode is very small. At least at this point.

Also I am very experienced in High Voltage equipment. I know what I am doing. If you are not don't try this. Yes the voltages are very deadly.

Read Tesla's notes on how he perfected this for direct human use.

This same general topic comes up every couple of months around here. I guess it’s just new people joining and thinking they have found the holy grail.
HHO uses more electricity than the power you get back from it. PERIOD!
It’s simple laws of physics. There is no new method or material that will EVER change the equation.

Prefer to stay away from all acid solutions, myself, and want it small scale. I don't notice pseudo science. I noticed real solutions that worked, and a few cool add ons to consider for experimental purposes.
Hey bro, Baking soda as an electrolyte causes a resistance in the water. This is what causes your amperage to climb. Keep the amps at 20 with the water already heated, or you will need to build a cooling system for the water. The reason for this is, as the water heats up your amperage draw will increase. As the amperage increases so will the water temp. thus you have the snowball effect, a runaway cell. See my video for more info. watch?v=2nAROmhiZsY I have over 30,000 views.

I appreciate you help, but I have moved way foward with my design and knowledge of HHO production... I no longer use Baking Soda but use 100 percent Soduim Hydroxide but use only 5 volt to get the production I get now with no heat issues whatsoever... I have sent you a video response of my last video I have made to date and you will see what I am using now....Again thanks

How are you reducing the voltage?
nasanction 3 years ago
I am using a DC-AC power inverter and running that to an old PC power supply I took out of an old computer case and using the 5 volts from that with better than expected results..Thanks

I can tell you right now you will find it takes less energy to boil water with hho than with your electric range. The average small burner on an electric range is between 1100 and 1600 watts depending on the amount of turns. I was able to boil the water to make pasta with just over 400 watts, giving me around 3LPM, and thats with a crude device! Just wait til we get to the oven where your elements draw 3000watts. This is looking pretty good so far. Cant wait to see more. Stay Safe.

You are right , last night I done wattage test on one of the small burners on my electric stove ,with it on high it was using 1368 watts , it took 6 mins to bring a small pot of water to boil...I plan to do videos sometime this week showing the difference between the two...hho only used 725 watts

Innovation isn’t always pretty, as two Pennsylvania college kids have shown with a homemade hydrogen-fuel-cell motorcycle that is ugly and slow but still pretty cool.
Alex Bell and Andres Pacheco, a pair of engineering majors at Swarthmore College, told us they spent two years and about $10,000 cobbling the Frankenbike together for a class project examining the viability of hydrogen-powered transportation.
