How to Build an HHO Powered Car

Hybrid hydrogen oxygen, or HHO, is a system that splits hydrogen and oxygen out of water to create hydroxy gas. The system does this by drawing electricity from the vehicle's battery through a container with a water-electrolyte solution and an HHO cell made of metal plates to split the hydrogen and oxygen in the water. An HHO-powered car will allow you to increase your gas mileage by 80 percent. A hydroxy-gas, fuel-cell generator will allow the gas of your vehicle to have greater power when ignited in the engine. This will allow you to burn the gasoline more efficiently, clean your engine and in the process help save the environment by excreting water from your exhaust. You can make an HHO fuel cell and install it in your vehicle.

Instructions

1. Drill a hole a half-inch from the top of the plates using a 5/16-inch drill bit and drill another hole a half-inch from the bottom of the plate using a 5/16-inch drill bit. Drill holes into the remaining 15 plates using the same measurements.

2. Use an indentation tool to make indentations all over the plate and afterward use sandpaper to sand the plates rough. This allows the hydroxy gas to release from the plate as soon as it is formed.

3. Drill a hole using a 5/16 drill bit an inch from the outside of the top screw-on cap and center on the left side of the top screw-on cap. Drill a hole on the right side 5/6 of an inch from the outside of the top screw-on lid and center it. Drill a third hole in the center of the two holes you drilled and insert a gas supply adapter to the third hole by inserting it firmly. Use silicone sealant around the adapter to secure it in place.

4. Place two nylon washers on the inside bottom of the PVC screw cap where you drilled the two holes. Then, thread two stainless-steel nuts onto two screws that are 1-1/4 inches in length. Keep a slight gap between the nuts for attaching the ladles later. Place another washer onto each screw and thread them through the holes in the cap. Place a rubber washer onto each end of the screw coming through the cap and then place a steel washer on top of each rubber washer. Thread a nut onto each screw and place your electrical wire circle connectors on each screw. Thread two more nuts onto each screw.

5. Place two stainless-steel ladles with the forked section of the ladle sliding around the screws underneath the top PVC screw cap. Tighten the nuts onto each screw to secure the ladles.

6. Put the metal plates together to make the HHO fuel cell. Arrange two sets of eight metal plates.

7. Thread a nut onto a nylon rod and put the first plate of the first set onto the rod by inserting the rod through the hole in the metal plate. Slide a washer onto the nylon rod and place the second plate onto the nylon rod. Slide a nut onto the rod and attach another six metal plates in the same pattern. Place a nut onto the nylon rod and attach the negative ladle by inserting the forked end over the nylon rod. Attach another nut to the nylon rod and tighten it. Attach another eight plates in the same pattern. After the last plate has been attached, attach the positive ladle by hooking the forked edge of it over the nylon rod. Attach a nut and tighten it on the rod. Place heat shrink over each of the ladles and heat to shrink the wrap over them. Repeat the same pattern with the threaded rod that goes in the bottom holes of the metal plates.

8. Place a third bent ladle that will connect from the two bottom bolts under the plates in a slight "U" shape fashion. Connect either forked end of the ladle onto the threaded rod between the metal plates and the nuts. This ladle will insulate the metal fuel cell. Place heat shrink wrap over the bottom ladle and heat the shrink wrap slightly to insulate the bottom ladle.

9. Place clear plastic tubing to the top gas supply adapter and connect an elbow. Connect another bit of clear plastic tubing followed by a one-way valve.

10. Connect another length of clear plastic tubing to the end of the one-way valve and connect an elbow. Connect another length of tubing to this elbow.

11. Make a bubbler by using a four-inch diameter PVC pipe. Apply PVC glue to the the inside of the bottom end cap and push the end cap onto the PVC pipe. Connect an elbow to the gas supply adapter on the top of the PVC pipe where the gas leaves and attach a length of clear tubing. This tubing will connect to the air intake of the engine. Use a fitting when connecting the clear plastic tubing into the PVC pipe so that it make a secure fitting. It is best to use the shortest amount of clear plastic tubing possible; longer lengths of clear tubing will require another bubbler.

12. Use five-inch diameter hose clamps to mount the HHO system. When mounting the system, mount it away from heat or moving parts of the engine. Place the five-inch diameter hose around the HHO container and mount it to the vehicle frame using screws.

13. Drill a hole in the intake of the engine to connect the hose coming from the bubbler of the HHO system into the engine. Insert the fuel cell into the HHO booster container and fill the container with distilled water about two inches from the top of the container. Add a half-teaspoon to one teaspoon of sodium hydroxide to the water and tighten the top of the container into place.

14. Connect the power source to the system. Route the power of the cell through the power of the ignition of the vehicle by wrapping the positive wiring on the top of the PVC screw cap and inserting the other end of the positive wire into an electrical circular connector. Place the circular connector onto the terminal of the ignition coil to supply power. This allows the system to be turned off when you turn your car off. For more security, use a soldering iron to solder the connections. The HHO booster will produce 1.7 liters of hydroxy gas per minute.

Tips & Warnings

• If the current amperage of the booster cell is more than 16 amps when the system is cold, dump some of the solution out and add more distilled water. If the HHO system is low on amperage, add more sodium hydroxide until the system reaches at least 16 amps when cold. The reason the system needs to reach no more than 16 amps when it is cold is because the system will add about another 4 amps when it is warm and operating. You do not want the system to exceed 20 amps. The water of the HHO system should be changed out regularly when it starts to turn color. The water will turn a brownish-orange color because the iron is being separated from the water.
