There is no doubt about it ... the use of water to run a combustion engine more efficiently is in widespread use. I have seen numerous examples of people using HHO Cells in the vehicles and video taping the evidence of their success. There are even some examples of people running small modified engines entirely on the hydroxy gas.

The patent of Stanley Meyer shows the design of a highly efficient electrolysis system which in itself is nothing new however ... with the use of bifilar coil chokes and a pulse width modulator (PWM) it is possible to produce large enough volumes of the gas with relatively low power input. The more amps a system draws the hotter it will get and Mr Meyers discovery (before he was murdered) seems to show a way to use pulse width manipulation and voltage boosters to suppress amperage and increase voltage.

When the circuit senses a peak in voltage, instead of drawing more amps it will pulse the voltage faster which has the effect of lowering amps while still maintaining the same work load. This produces less heat. As you will see in the design of my cell below, the relatively thick metal as a whole will draw a fair amperage and i may have to look to inserting neutral plates or a PWM if i plan to run the unit for lengths of time.

CONSTRUCTION:

In keeping with the flavour of cheap energy i decided i would try to build my first cell without spending much money. A great source of parts for a project like this is building site scrap bins and builders are only happy for you to cart away the trash for them. I sourced some nice PVC pipe sections and even some stainless steel wall plates. I improvised for most other parts such as rubber tubing or electrical chord insulator for non conductive spacing. A local hardware place were inadvertently selling stainless steel washers at half the regular price so i bought the entire tray for around $15NZ (32 pieces).

I am using stainless steel because the cell will reside in an alkaline solution and most other metals will disappear quite quickly through redox reactions under electrolysis conditions. I did not want any welding or soldering joints in the construction as they would also be compromised over time. The design i came up with uses PVC, rubber tubing and stainless steel. The centre cell is made up of separated washers on a bolt to create a maximised surface area.
