TIG Welding your electrodes

If you use stainless and want to adopt a full bath system... see to it that all your joints or connections are TIG welded.

The cell being welded here is the Super 7 cell design... prototype #001.

HHO test cell

Here's Pete with his Bob boyce inspired Home made electrolytic cell made from whats available in his garage/ kitchen or stock room.

Pete is a VW enthusiast and is also an Earth Saver.

I find his video worth sharing. Personally. Watch out for his project!

His mission, to run his VW bus on straight HHO... a tall feat and worth attention.

All the best Pete and I look forward in seeing you soon!

Hydrogen Engine

This is an attempt to run an engine with pure HHO... ok, it's not an over unity project, the experimenter here only proves that engines can run on pure hydroxy gas, and that his flashback system works great!... even with lesser gas production. This is actually a very dangerous thing to do without a flashback arrester.

Starting the engine means, it has zero vacuum, therefore, free floating hydroxy gas are dangerously roaming in the air stack, and 2 stroke engines dont have valves to shut the cylinder to contain combustion 100 %. Flashbacks is so easy to occur. I have seen many accidents from this type of experiments.

I still would not recommend this unless you prime the engine with gasoline first just to establish the vacuum pulling factor for safety.

In my early days experimenting, one of my internet buddies destroyed his intake manifold in his V6 Plymouth voyager. This type of accidents can happen without vacuum... and this happens during starting or cranking up the engine with pure hydroxy gas a.k.a. HHO.

Word of Caution, There is no alternative for safety.

When there's smoke...there's water

How often do we hear or read this old wise saying: "When there's smoke there's fire."

This is how man connected events, experiences and issues to normal everyday life.

Every fireman will tell you that smoke comes after fire, and so people normally relates this with social or personal situations like for instance... when someone plays with fire, surely - you will smell the smoke later and it has a stinky scent.

However, creating a buzz before the actual event is like creating smoke before making the fire. This is contrary to common science or psychology, the Dogmas will tell you that - you cannot put the horse behind the carriage. Well, of course you can't - simply because a horse cannot push the carriage because it doesn't have hands to push it nor steer it. However, the horse can always pull the carriage - and to refute the dogmas - you can actually put a horse behind the carriage and let it pull the carriage, whether the horse is facing the carriage or road doesnt matter anymore since the premise or the argument is merely stating that you cannot put a horse behind a carriage and it does'nt say you cannot put the front of the horse behind the back of the carriage.

I think rhetorics is childish and dogmatic rules are imature way of thinking.

It is very common to hear people tell you "Think out of the box"... but this too is questionable per se... simply because the box is an abstract idea. A concept not so concrete, and anything not concrete just like liquid or gas will be hard to contain and will be hard to percieve simply because they dont have a form... no front, no back no aft nor behind.

So much of philosophical talks, now let me go into my main message...

Haven't you noticed that with any burning material known to man, Smoke comes after the fire.

But with the most controversial among the elements known to man... this particular type is also so common to man that his body and his planet is mainly composed of this life giving element... Water.

In scientific term: H2O.

This blog is of course dealing with raising the awareness of the public about Hydrogen on demand technology a.k.a. HHO.

Many people have already joined the bandwagon on this technology... but very few really realize the principle involved in developing it to it's peak.

In my years of being into this stuff, I have noticed that HHO is a very peculiar element.

In history, it was HHO first before fossil fuel came into the picture... therefore, Water fuel was making a buzz already even before it's full commercialization took place. This is clearly smoke before the fire analogy....

In actual observation using a high output dry cell drawing about 40A and pushing about 4 Liters of HHO gas... You will see smoke coming out of the other end of the tube with some water... This steamy fog or mist is actually a highly explosive gas, a small ignition will either make this gas explode or light up a clean white/yellow/ bluish white flame torch if you have a welding tip... Clearly - Smoke before the fire scenario.

Kill the fire... and there is no smoke.

I have noticed two different types of people in my 40 years of existence... The white and clean type and the dark and gloomy type.

The former are those with a naivish type of attitude, these are the people who will tell you the truth in your face and will tell you everything before they even do it.

The latter are those who show a good or charming personality on the outside but you will sense an aura of dark history from them... they are the ones who will keep on explaining themselves in a defensive mode, as if they are trying to cover something.

The former can be likened to HHO... clean, burning fuel that doesnot give off rotten smelling smoke.

The latter are like fossil fuels... playing with their own fire at first, and you will only find out later after you smell something burning already.

I have lived my life on both sides of the pond... have lived in a denial state with the latter... and lived with a more wholesome state with the former.

The former is now the present...

The present is now the time for clean energy to lite up.

These are the times when we are bound to smell the rotten smoke brought to us by fossil fuel and the similar types of people behind it.

These are also the times when clean burning hydrogen fuel will light up our homes and power our cars... because this is the time where Fire comes after smoke...

When there's Fire... there's water... and when there's smoke... there will be fire.

Help and support Earth Rescue Rangers... Help Save the planet... Do you part, do your share, Read and do your homework. Do your math.

Use less... Give more...

All these words in context are golden nuggets in achieving clean energy technology.

Please be guided by these words... I was.

Cheers.

Pure HHO Start up

The Kyoto Protocol - You need to know.

On 16 February 2005, in the culmination of ten years of sometimes exhausting and often frustrating negotiations, the Kyoto Protocol became law. Thirty-five industrialised countries along with the European Union are now legally bound to reduce or limit their greenhouse gas emissions.

What is the Kyoto Protocol?

The Kyoto Protocol is the world's only international agreement with binding targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As such, it is the primary tool governments of the world have to address climate change. Specifically, the Protocol requires a nominal 5 percent reduction in emissions by developed countries world-wide relative to 1990 levels, by 2008-2012. To meet this world-wide target, each country is obligated to its individual target - the European Union (EU[15]) 8 percent, Japan 6 percent, etc. These individual targets are derived from past greenhouse gas emissions.

In addition to legally binding national emissions targets, the Kyoto Protocol includes various trading mechanisms. Now that the Protocol is law, formal preparations will begin to create a ‘global’ carbon market for emissions trading by 2008, and the so-called ‘flexible mechanisms’ - the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and Joint Implementation (JI) - will become operational.

The Kyoto Protocol was originally agreed on in 1997 - although many crucial details were left to later talks. In order to enter into force (become law) the Protocol required ratification by at least 55 countries accounting for at least 55 percent of the carbon dioxide emissions from Annex B (industrialised) nations. So far, 129 countries have ratified or acceded to the Protocol. It passed the number of countries test in 2002, and finally passed the second hurdle with ratification by the Russian Federation in late 2004.

Notably absent from the Protocol is the US; which shows no signs of ratifying the treaty, at least not as long as the Bush administration is in power - even though the US is the world's biggest greenhouse gas polluter. Australia, Liechtenstein, Croatia and Monaco also have yet to complete the ratification process.


The Clean Development Mechanism (Article 12)

The Clean Development Mechanism is designed to generate emissions reduction credits for Annex I countries that finance projects in non-Annex I countries who are part of the treaty. For example, Canada financing an energy efficiency project in China, or Japan financing a renewable energy project in Morocco. These projects must have the approval of the CDM Executive Board, and in addition to generating measurable emissions reductions against a business-as-usual baseline, they should contribute to sustainable development in the developing country partners.

Joint Implementation (Article 3)

Joint Implementation allows industrialised countries with emissions reduction targets to cooperate in meeting them. For example, German-financed energy efficiency projects in Russia, or Norwegian-financed renewable energy projects in Hungary, which generate emissions reductions, under specific circumstances can be credited to the country that finances them. In theory, this is a more economically efficient means of generating the same overall emissions reductions for industrialised countries.

Will the Kyoto Protocol "save the climate"?

The Kyoto Protocol is an important first step - as it was intended to be. It has always been recognized that the Kyoto Protocol will not be enough on its own. To avoid dangerous climate change the world needs at least 30 percent cuts by industrialized countries by 2020, increasing to 70-80 percent cuts by mid-century. Anything less than this will consign our children and theirs to a very unpleasant and very unstable world.

The decisions that governments, industry and civil society make over the next decade or two will be decisive. You have a say in those decision, and your help is needed. See our Take Action page for what you can do.

HHO Updates 5/18/2009 on an old Beetle

This is a video from Lrover03 which I got from youtube. I find it enthusiastically worth sharing please read on..

"Here's the latest on my Hydroxy assisted 71 VW Bug. So far the results have been impressive, to say the least. I got documented proof of at least 43.9 mpg just a few days ago, and I'm getting nowhere near the efficiency that the cell is actually capable of, since my electrolyte is fairly weak at 4 tablespoons of Sodium Bicarbonate per gallon of water and I also have no PWM to effectively control the current draw of the cell (yet). I ordered a bare PC board from ZeroFossilFuel (thanks guy!) and have some of the stuff to assemble it, but I still need some key components to finish it up. Pretty soon, pretty soon...

A little info on the engine for the benefit of Ehnriko and any other VW enthusiasts :-)

Stock case with a counterbalanced stock stroke crank, reduced size power pulley, 87 mm. jugs with teflon coated slipper pistons, shot peened high strength rods with high tension rod bolts, Engle W-100 street cam 420 lift 276 duration 108 degree lobe centers. Straight cut steel cam gears, Custom heads with stainless steel valves (40mm intake, 35.5mm exh.) and small chambers, swivel-foot valve lash adjusters, 13.5 lb. flywheel, dual 40mm Kadron carbs with 125 mains, mild porting work on heads and intake manifolds, high volume oil pump with filter, Bosch 009 distributor with Pertronix electronic ignition and Bosch blue coil. Makes about 105 - 110 hp. in the current configuration. Redline's around 5800 rpm. Best rpm for best mileage is around 3000-3200 = abt. 60-65 mph. ;-) The car is *very* snappy for just a little larger than stock bore, and surprisingly stays pretty cool with the stock oil cooler and the power pulley.
