The Water Pump

This is a small 1GPM pump to help circulate the electrolyte. The system doesn't really need it but this gives me options as to where to locate the reservoir and the HHO generator since the system will no longer be gravity fed. Without the pump I would have to install the output of the reservoir slightly higher than the HHO Generator input.

The Dry Cell

This is a much more cleaner & compact design. Designed and constructed from plates that are Precision cut 3" X 7" Corrosion Resistant High Moly Stainless Steel. The plates are cross hatch and rotary sanded to promote bubble release and then cleansed in an Ultrasonic cleaner at 40,000 Hz leaving them microscopically clean. The plates are sealed between high temperature 1/16" thick EPDM gaskets. No inferior automotive grade gaskets used. The end plates are manufactured from 1/2" high grade, high temperature Cast Acrylic. The end plates measure only 4-3/16" X 7-3/4" so the unit will fit anywhere. They are held in place with 1/4" X 20 Zink plated bolts. This cell has a configuration of

It is rated at a conservative 15 to 30 Amp's. At those amperages a Cell that will run without overheating. It won't melt wires or boil the Electrolyte Solution. It also won't overload your alternator.



The Wet Cell

This is the original wet cell. It produced a nice amount of gas. It it very big and heavy. As you can see the original wiring had 12 volts going to each cell. Way to much amperage. This cell was rewired to a configuration of:




+NNNNNNNNNNNN-

Although it worked ok, it is bug & bulky. Very hard to work with. I will probably use it in an HHO Torch.
