I've been getting a lot of requests for build plans, so I made a 23 page .pdf file you can have for $20 (This helps compensate for the 3 days it took me to make them). You can get them here: bit.ly/HHOParts
Everything you need to know should be in the video, but the plans have templates for the stainless steel plates, a parts list with SKU numbers, pictures, instructions, and expanded view diagrams of the systems, including an alternate "all ABS" option.

This is not a "free energy" device, "over unity" device, or a claim to be the solution to the worlds energy crisis. This is a project I did to experiment with the electrolysis of water, and the resulting gasses collected.

Project Inspired By:
"Smack's Booster": www.free-energy-info.co.uk/Sma...
Project History & More Info:
The generator requires electricity to electrolyze H2O (water) into gas. The resulting mixed gas is sometimes referred to as Oxy-Hydrogen gas, which is 2 parts Hydrogen (H2) and 1 part Oxygen (O2). I typically hook this up to my car battery while the vehicle is running, so the alternator takes most of the load. On 12 volts I get about 1.5 liters/minute, but when I want to make the gas faster, I hook 2 car batteries in series for 24 volts, and this exponentially increases the gas production to over 5 liters per minute.
Current draw seems to be around 20-50 amps depending on whether you use 12-24 volts. High current draws mean the electrolyte heats up, and if left too long the plastic can warp or melt causing structural failure.
Some people ask why the plates aren't all electrically connected. The plates that aren't connected are called "floater" plates, or "neutral" plates. There is too much information to post about them here, so do a google search, or check out websites like www.hho4free.com/neutral_plate... for an in depth explanation of the theory.
I used KOH as my electrolyte because research suggested it was the best. I haven't experimented with other electrolytes, but have heard that salt, sodium hydroxide, vinegar, etc could work, but will dirty and may corrode the plates. Potassium Hydroxide keeps the system clean, however, it is caustic, so be careful if you choose to use it. You can probably get away with about 2-4 teaspoons of KOH per 6 liters of water.
This system produces an extremely powerful OxyHydrogen gas. When the gas is used, it simply turns back into water, and that's good for the environment. However I believe it takes more electric energy to produce the gas than is obtained from the gas. This device merely converts the energy from one form to another, with given losses.
As long as you have enough electricity, the amount of water already in this system is enough to produce thousands and thousands of liters of fuel. Some people say this is the fuel of the future. Either way, it's a very powerful gas!

I miss these types of projects. Now they just melt crayons...
Grant pursued science with a reason showing its amazing product or process
Nate just plays around to try to make something cool but with no purpose
Notice how they dont do metal casting anymore?
No more big project?
No more usage of power tools or extensive effort?
Yeah I wish nate follows intead to grants footstep to try to expand on his science knowledge and learn more
And practice its usage
Yea I wish Nate could Build on a project like this
Jeb Ledbetter yeah
Ye that’s true didn’t even cross my mind till now.
Instead of bellyaching, why don't you actually request a specific project they work on?
Rest in peace the man who boosted/sparked my love for engineering.

This was my favorite lesson/ video from you
Same I watched this like all day
Same here I love this video, most favorite one
Yea ok lol you totally built this

When I went to school I thought crayons and erasers were something to eat, we were so hungry
Using this for a school project 8 years after watching it, you really taught and entertained me for years, RIP, Love you man.
This is the most beautiful HHO generator on youtube. We all miss your neat style of making projects.
Check out AlexLab if you want to see some more cool HHO electrolyzers. Im not advertising or shilling just thought id make you aware of another cool guy who messes with hydrogen
Water would be much more fun if it were made of 1 Helium, 1 Hydrogen, and 1 Oxygen.
@@FidgetyGuy That would change the entire universe
@@Ezio-Auditore94 Turns out it's possible in this universe. Hydreliox is an exotic breathing gas mixture of helium, oxygen and hydrogen. It is used primarily for research and scientific deep diving, usually below 130 metres (430 ft). And here I thought I had invented something new =( .
@@FidgetyGuy Hydreliox it's not a different molecule, it's just a mixture of gasses, its primary use is for replacing nitrogen in high pressure environments.
Did this a few years ago using a glass jar with a plastic lid for the generator. Started getting bubbles ( yea! ), called the wife to the basement to worship my cleverness. Lid was too thin, melted under the 12v. load, the two leads touched and sparked, which set off the H gas in the jar like a shotgun, scared the crap outta me and her! I am now restricted from experiments in the basement...

Yea i like the old kor not the new
I 100% agree with you
Lol same
he can rest easy now. it was this video that had the inspiration to create my own one that i would used for my high school senior project.
Same here this was my first TKOR video and got me interested in making things from scratch
Oh shoot I actually made this for my high school senior project too. However I think now I'm going to make one on a grander scale.
Same...but I made mine work with a power bank
Going to school in the 80s and 90s you actually learned this kind of hands on science. Now kids have to go to CZcams to learn it if you want to call it that.
A science project actually involved going to a library, researching and understanding the science.
Today kids simply copy a project from a video and submit it as their project not even understanding how and why it works or does what it does.
All King Random did here in many of his videos (not all of them) was recreate 5th grade science projects from the 80s and early 90s.
Normally a science project involved a problem that had to be resolved. Using what you learned in class you were to come up with a solution. Everyone normally received a different problem to prevent plagiarism. This also aided the teacher in helping students address their weaknesses.
So what application or problem required you to recreate/copy/plagiarize King Random's work for your science project?
@@scoremoore4280 people should. It's the only way we can maybe keep internal combustion engines alive.
You describe your work very well and in sufficient detail, which is rare for most DIY videos. Well done!!!

this man had talent that is unmatched by anyone that i have seen when it comes to his high level of quality in every aspect from his project builds, to the narration style and sound, to the editing that resulted in such well done tutorials. and most of all his genuine randomness of so many cool and usefull projects that were very high functioning
thank you for all of the projects, I still have so many of these laying around my house, my girlfriends little brother is doing a science project and I’ve been having him watch these older TKOR videos with me to give him ideas of what he’d want to do.
It’s wild to think 10 years ago I hadn’t even finished high school, I graduated with my degree in astronomy and astrophysics last Saturday and I’m going back to the same school for my PhD, although I didn’t become an engineer, videos like this keep us all in any STEM major excited for science and to continue in our own fields and of course, we HAVE to build random things to blow stuff up, we’re scientists 🤷🏻♀️

What I like about this video: it never states that this is free energy like so many others have.
Using solar panels, the free energy from the sun would qualify as "free energy"
When I say free energy, I mean perpetual motion.
Something that many HHO advocates claim this technology provides.
***** oh yea, i think i know which ones you're talking about. They're usually using some form of Bedini pulse motor or pulsing technology and claim that it's overunity...
I have worked on that project for a few years, It's flat out fail.
This technology is real in regards to producing hydrogen, but it doesn't produce more energy than is put into it. Even fusion from the sun doesn't do that. That's just an electron being converted into a photon when 2 hydrogen molecules bind into a helium. Even fusion doesn't break any laws of conservation like the HHO guys claim can happen.
can't believe its been 10 years im so glad my parents let me try and make this stuff as well.
Awesome video very descriptive, GREAT JOB!
Anybody making one of these: DO NOT USE STAINLESS STEEL!! Stainless steel contains chromium, and although the metal does not appear to degrade, it is the chromium that is consumed. Electrolysis will leach chromium out of the anode in the form of hexavalent chromium ions. These ions are highly toxic, are harmful to the environment and are also very carcinogenic (causes cancer). Water that can become highly saturated with hexavalent chromium from using stainless steel electrodes can irritate the skin upon contact (like bleach or industrial paint thinner), and is also illegal to poor down residential drainage systems. You don't want to poison the water shed with this stuff! PLEASE DON'T USE STAINLESS STEEL. A much better, safer alternative is copper. The best choice, though more costly, are platinized electrodes because they will never degrade in the electrolysis reaction.
Search for "platinized titanium" on Google and a lot of search results for retailers that sell good electrodes will pop up. I personally prefer the mesh-type electrodes because of increased surface area.
Copper can easily be replaced, but if you use stainless, the electrodes will eventually begin to rust after all the chromium is consumed and you'll need to replace the water just as much, if not more, than with copper. If you use copper (II) chloride in the very low concentration as your electrolyte in conjunction with copper electrodes, you can actually manage to never replace your electrodes by simply switching the polarity of the electrodes every so often because copper from the anode would disassociate into the solution as copper in solution plates the cathode. When you reverse the polarity routinely, you should end up reversing the electrode that is dissolved and the one that is plated. Make sure you use distilled water instead of tap water and very low concentration if you use this method, though, because otherwise you may begin producing chlorine gas in place of oxygen...which is generally a very, very bad thing. Because you don't care about separating oxygen and hydrogen from one another, you may even consider using an alternating current source, as opposed to a dc source like a battery.
***** That's what my experience has shown, yes.
+Solo Socks A nice tip for making one of these with copper is that you can buy copper pipe of multiple diameters and put them inside of each other like nesting dolls. You can make the outside tube one of the electrodes and the very inside tube the other. just make sure to space them with some sort of nonconducting material because otherwise they won't work as well.
+Joey Coston Suppose i do everything the vídeo say to do, although I change the plates to electrodes, would I have to change anything in the setup ?
We all miss you. This was one of the first videos I ever saw.
I saw this one before, but it's awesome to watch again.
