| I had been hearing a lot of people talking about being | | | | I used a mason jar for the jug and the plans said to |
| able to make a flammable gas called HHO out of | | | | use distilled water with baking soda in it to fill the jar |
| water lately. What I hadn't done was actually talk to | | | | with. I found out from playing with it that how much |
| anyone that has tried it though so I decided to try it | | | | baking soda you put in there makes a huge |
| out for myself. I wanted to know if this HHO gas | | | | difference on your current draw and on how many |
| was fact or fiction so I bought some of the plans off | | | | bubbles of the HHO gas it makes. |
| the internet and got started experimenting with it. | | | | Anyway after I had the thing assembled and filled |
| Building the HHO generator was fairly easy but it did | | | | with water and a teaspoon of baking soda then I |
| take a lot of time to run down all of the parts for it. | | | | hooked up the battery to see what would happen. It |
| All of the stuff that you need to build it is available at | | | | almost immediately started making bubbles and the |
| the store, just not the same store. It probably took | | | | water discolored a little bit. I was fairly happy that it |
| me more time running all over town than it took me | | | | was making bubbles but I still wanted to find out if it |
| to actually put the thing together. | | | | was actually flammable. |
| The plans that I bought said to use stainless steel | | | | I got another jar and filled it with tap water. I ran a |
| wire but I didn't manage to find exactly what they | | | | hose from the HHO generator over into the jar with |
| were calling for in any of the stores I went to. Since | | | | tap water and turned it back on. The second jar was |
| I couldn't find the wire I just used some stainless | | | | just so that the gas could bubble up through the |
| steel plates that I found at the hardware store | | | | water in it and I would not have to worry about |
| instead. This was probably a little easier than the wire | | | | anything blowing up. I stuck a lighter to the bubbles |
| would have been anyway though. I just separated | | | | as they came up through the jar and what do you |
