- In this video I'm building a homemade HHO dry cell generator form scrap, this is the first dry cell generator I have built and I'm am not a professional. The only materials I had to purchase was the fasteners cost about four dollars. An HHO generator is just a unit which separates Hydrogen and Oxygen from water using electrolysis. Electrolysis is a very simple process learned in high school science class with a Hoffman Apparatus. They call these things HHO generators now because the term HHO was adopted from the masses. The gas that comes out of these units are a mixture of Hydrogen and Oxygen, "Oxyhydrogen" when water and a catalyst is used. Oxyhydrogen was used in the 1800's for lighting " Lime Light" .

Except the electric short problem, this tutorial video is up to the mark. Just awesome
I LOVE the DIY engineering section of youtube so much...
Another wee tip, you need 5 neutral plates per stack when using 12 volts as a supply. Using 4 gives 5 spaces, 12 divided by 5 = 2.4 volts giving you an excess.
Heat Shrink Tubing is the BEST way to Insulate your bolts for future reference :-)
Others have suggested using nylon bolts, too
Might have only been a backyard build, but out of all the videos you are the only one I have found that explains the wiring and doesn't try to sell one at the end. Great video thank you!
thank you sir for the detail step by step...really appreciate this...
You mentioned in 22:37 that the screws could never touch any plates. That you should use insulating material or coating. But I noticed you didn't use any. As someone suggested in the comments there are nylon screws or plastic tubes which you can insert the metal screws at least. I think you should visibly have shown this for safety reasons so nobody does exactly what they saw and shorts the circuit. I know you did it this way for convenience sake and so the hobbyist can get an idea of its construction. But it is highly important.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I 'm glad to see one put together by someone who
doesn't claim to be an expert, like many hho-people.
Yes, it's a basic first attempt and I'm sure your next one will be even better.
Cheers, gk.
love your clip, very clear instructions and helpful for low cost project . thank you
A quick tip for drilling the plates, run the drill at the lowest speed, then drill halfway through one side then flip plate and drill the other halp from opposite side......then no burrs to clean up....Just a quick tip..
Neal Ward
They are too thin for that.
Thanks for sharing.
Like your idea, using raw material but you need to show is this works also, love your understanding, give u 200%.
I agree with the guy below !!! with out a nonconductive sleeve on the bolts, you are just shorting out everything and may go BOOM !!!, but you got the right idea !!!
No he is not even close. this video should be deleted.
this project is AWESOMEEE I LOVE IT SO MUCH. thx dude
those bolts are going to short out the cell, with that design you have to isolate the bolts!
Why not use nylon bolts?
so right you are /is better to press the plates ,not with holes
@@ArbitraryOnslaught What's the point in using 1/4" steel plate and weak nylon bolts?
He could eliminate the problem by simply covering the bolts in heat shrink.
@@kalleklp7291 Its a good idea, I think nylon bolts are as good as heat shrink. Perhaps the heat shrink could tear? Try it.
@@ArbitraryOnslaught To compensate for a little warping in the plates (they do so when cut to size) one has got to have some torque on these bolts or it will leak as a sift.
Sure, nylon bolts and nuts have their use especially in electronics and the like. However, I doubt they would hold in the long run in such a device. Heat shrink comes in different thickness and size. It's pretty tough and as there are no mechanical movements in the assembled cell it won't be a problem. The heat shrink will also protect the bolts from corrosion. Stainless steel bolts this size are somewhat expensive so galvanized could be used. Heat shrink and some clear coat and corrosion won't be a problem.
Thank you, this is one of the best videos, with excellent explanations and instructions you can find, great job.
use nylon bolts and nutts, not metal ones !!!!! can you say boom !!!!!
Excellent video, thanks for sharing it.
Definitely a cool video! It is good that he made the viewers aware of isolating the electrical connection between the plates by insulating the bolts that pass-through the stack... Previous to this video, I wondered why neutral plates are used in designs like this. Now I know, to reduce one of the 3 elements that cause corrosion of metals ( potential difference aka-voltage). Another thing that I learned from this video is the importance of staggering the lower electrolyte ports in the plates (to reduce the risk of an internal short circuit) and the reduced stagger of the upper gas ports (to allow the rapid flow of the hho to exit the plate chambers). Very good informative video! Thank You!
Outstanding! brother thanks
Thank you for the video, very good, good job!!!
@22:16 . Man that remark to" check out other people channel ", made me to stop from what ibwas doing and come here to leave u a lke and comment.🥰 Very nice man
Very informative thank you for making information available love you tube😍😍
I want to thank you for your video you explained it well
I liked your hho generator. Its easy to built and explainatory video.
Nice job man! Great!
Dude love your practically. I want to make one of these with my kids
body the problem what you did is, you shorted out all the plate because your using all metal bolt, so its touching each other, once you connect to the power defenitlly KABBBOOOMMMM!!!!!!!
I am having problem getting through that part myself
Boom🤣🤣🤣
Dude thank you 🙏😊
Great video Thanks
Great video!
nice experiment tq
i liked the way you explained bro you're so humble.. could you give me the exact dimension of three power plate which is the two negative and 1 positive? and so the dimensions of the 8 neutral plates.. thank you very much i have learned a lot
Thank you for the video. Outstanding!
decent video, great job man
you should put heat shrink on them bolts to make it certain they wont contact the plates
Hi, Great video! Learnt alot. But, quick question, If Running This in a Car where would the 3rd -ve or +ve Wire Connection come from? Assuming Running directly from the Alternator (Instead of Battery?) 😕🤔
this video details were the best i had seen。but didnt tell about elcetric wires how to connect。
You can use heat shrink for these bolts m8 , cheers
Use a step drill next time you decide to drill sheet steel, no raised edges and a true round hole instead of a slightly triangular one that a twist drill bit makes (in sheet metal only ofc).
You will be a very lucky guy if you'll get no short circuit among the plates due to the screws...
If the magnet sticks to the stainless then it's a recycled grade and if it doesn't stick it's a pure grade.
yes !!! I work with stainless that is magnetized and non magnetized !!!
Eddieallen If a magnet sticks then it's not stainless steel. Stainless Steel has all traces of iron removed from it. Someone may be selling fake stainless steel that is regular steel.
Donald c49 no recycled stainless steel say grade 308 isn't pure while higher grades like 316 is actual pure stainless steel. 308 is used for appliances, restaurant equipment ect that needs rust prevention but doesn't have to be 100% stainless. 316 is preferred for hho cells because it lasts longer.
Actually it's commonly called 'chrome-steel', which is a very poor stainless steel quality, you may call it stainless steel if it contains so many non ferrous metals that a magnet doesn't have or have minimal effect on it.
304 is most common used and 316 is more used for salty and acidic enviroments.
And then you got hundreds of other stainless steel alloys..
I'm no metalurgist. So please excuse me if I'm in error here. I have worked with 301 stainless in the past that is partially ferrous (has iron) & slightly magnetically attracted to the iron particles in the nickel/ iron alloy which forms stainless. I'm not certain of what the difference between 301 & 316 stainless is, maybe there can be NO detectable attraction to magnetism with the 316 stainless steel?
My question about dry cells is maintinence. Understandably with distilled water and arm and hammer no worries however with tap water how quickly will the dry cells build up sediment and short of dismantling the cell is there an efficient way to clear the cells?
Prolly not able to do it but could you use really strong plastic bolts and nuts?
Why did you add hose over the bolts and drill plat hole a little larger? to make sure it didn't short out ?
u put this in a car gas tank and wire it up so that u just put water and some sort of electrolye it would run super clean only out put would be water and dirt cheap
make sure alternator works good thou
Good job bro, but that drill bit is not suitable for drilling sheet metal but still it works, using that bit to drill metal sheet you need to sandwich that sheet between 2 half or quart inch plywood or metal plate which is pre drilled for that size and clamp it, so that drill bit move through that pre drill to the sheet metal
You mentioned a kit was available. Can u tell me where these kits are for sale?
good build but why not line up the two plates with nylon bolts in the middle of the plates and use the gaskets and build the cells in the center of all the steel bolts so nothing touches for sure
Use nylon nuts and bolts to avoid shorting out
+P0tat0_craft use shrink wrap on the bolts. the nylon wont maintain a seal when they expand from heat. use nylon in wet cells only.
How are the bolts not shorting all of the plates together? Unless I'm missing something all this is going to do is trip circuit breakers and shoot sparks.
Now if you used heat shrink tubing over the bolts and nylon washers on both ends you may be on to something. As it stands all this video is teaching is how to waste an afternoon building something with no chance of ever actually working.
given what might needs to be done, how efficient would a dry cell system like this be? how much Hydrogen would one expect a system like this to produce? how are these things gauged?
is it work with water alone , or water mixed with other material
how did you isolate bolts from metal plates?
It's just one big short out. Put some heat shrink on these bolts and it will work.
Drill your plates 1/8 th inch over size so there are less chance of shorting.
hi i'm robert of Uruguay, I could you explain how you do that all neutral plates are not connected with bolts that tightened? thus are connecting all neutral, positive and negative plates with those metal screws, if you look at other videos these screws are always outside the placas¡¡¡¡
+Roberto Grillo bolts get shrink wrapped with heat activated pvc sleeves
cover the bolts with heat shrink.
whare iz a good place find stainess steel from scap?
Are oxygen and hydrogen split on neutral plates as well as the power plates?
oxygen is produced at one polarity and hydrogen at the other. not sure what way round it is
Hi! I can't understand - how did you isolate bolts from metal plates? Please....
use nylon bolts and nuts !!!
he didn't. he shorted out his entire stack.
Looks like you should have put plastic hose on for insulators to prevent any contact
the "neutral" plates are grounded through the bolts
All your plates are short circuit or arcing which is worse.
But how does one prevent the water from seeping out?
So, has the plates of this contraption RUSTED yet? Do you know why? You are electrolyzing the Chrome out of the stainless steel, which will make it rust + produce extremely toxic water (do not touch the electrolyte barehand after you have used this machine, it WILL kill you). The electrolyte will be so toxic in the end that not only you cannot touch it by hand, breath it, OR actually throw it down the drain. To avoid the rusting + toxicity problems, either use copper as your anodes, or use platinum or gold. Regards man, keep the good work up
use good rich man
Okay video
sir is it increase electric bill?
Did you say that a magnet should not stay atach to the steel?
Stainless steel is definitely magnetic. What you have there is likely aluminum and is not 3/16.
Aluminum is not magnetic and the correct stainless steel is not magnetic.
What are the reasons for wet and dry?
sir what is grade and mm of this steel plate?
what size gage is the stainless sheets ?
question, should i sand them to get rougher, better conduction? I think so. And couldn't i just use plastic bolts not metal?
Skram yes
+Skram no. use the right matterials or dont build. if you want EFFECTIVE results, 20-30% fuel savings, you must build to the highest standard, install the proper electronics, retune your vehicle, filter the vapors produced, AND cross your fingers. most peeps build junk and get shit results. thats why there are so many nay-sayers out there.
+Nick Prince you left a lot of good responses but this one is not the best.
skram is clearly not an expert so let him use whatever he has for his first cell. i spaced and glued my first with hot glue lol. building to the highest standard is not how people learn. sanding the plates makes moore surface area and millions of nucleation sites for the bubbles. how do you filter the gases? nylon doesnt expand THAT much in my opinion
I haven't built one yet. At the time of that post I had a couple weeks of research into it. I'm slowly getting my parts together and deciding what electronics I will use. I meant no disrespect, only the best guidance I could offer. My father raised me in the school of "if it's worth doing, it's worth doing it right". So I'm probably a little biased or you could say ANAL, lol. I don't want to see someone throw away money if they can avoid it, but the learning experience is good for some people. I was raised in a garage with a father building helicopters and other fancy things so I'm sure I'm blessed with an advantage of mechanical understanding. I'll try to take that into consideration for future posts. Thanks for the heads up.
I'll answer your questions when I get to my desktop, on mobile at the moment. Hang tight
how thick is the inner tube ?
You could use ceramic bolts
i would not criticise without having done better but this is kind of bad. on top of all the things previosly pointed out it has no positive effect to make the bolts go through the gaskets so you could skip that and make the holes just on the endcaps. use less bolts and cut the gaskets skinnyer all the aria covered by the rubber wont produce anything. but you did say you are not an expert and its a good effort. you prolly have progressed a bit since making this vid an that was a year ago so you could make a new vid with a better cell after all you have made one already and your stuff is awesome. keep doing stuff
انا ملاحظ ان المسامير كان تكون من البااستيك لان مسامير الحديد موصله لكل الطبقات العازل البلاستيكي لايعمل لان مسامير الحديد موصله
at least you will know why it doesn't work right when you rewatch your video.i bet you could find some plastic straws at a restaurant that would fit the bolts and keep it free.
It does look like 304 stainless...
Neutral plates what for ?
Just use an spacer between the 3 working plates
Use either nylon bolts or get shrink tubing from RadioShack!!!
Problem solved!!!!!
i would of made the larger plates negative since the hho2 comes off the negative side
Put cutting oil on drill bit
I still don´t understand why some people built the generator with + and - plates, and other people built it with +, - and Neutro plates. What is the diference? Which is better??
Este vai dar um curto circuito é só ligar para ver kkkkkkkkkkk
cuales son las medidas de las placas y la mezcla de electrolito?
Is there a dry cell design that can separate Oxygen from Hydrogen?
That is the dry cell. I believe they call it that simply because the power cables are not submerged as they are in wet cells.
the bolts cant be tuching plate. it will shortout and not work.
I have hho 11 Plate and use the soda in the water and when I connect my device to Power Machinery welding works very well paralyze and when I put him in the car and use the battery 60 AMP does not function well. What huh reason please
+Trinity is still my name use distilled water. the soda is over drawing the amps. add a little electrolite to start and add if needed.
whats the benifit of neutral plates
14:45...its just to reduce the voltage and to reduce wear basically
your mistake is thath tou are using metatal bolts. thats connect positive plate to negatives... cheango bolts and put them in plastic ceck my idrogen generator. :) sorry for bad english :(
Yeah!! I have the same Question !! bolts will short the circuit !! how is possible its can produce !! they must be insulated bolts need to run this / for the production !!
But I want to say its a good video!!
Most have heat shrink tubing on the bolts
hmm, ok thanks!!
nylon bolts and nuts only !!!
short cercuit .
why there is no insulator on the bolt the current run on it, the cell is shorted
correction some stainless steel does attract to a magnet.
stainless steel is stainless not stainproof
You sounds like Daniel Jacob Radcliffe
Just learn how to drill rite and with cobalt drill bits and with proper backup and proper speed.
Todas las placas están en cortocircuito
This video and presenter produce an EXCELLENT x 99999 Presentation.

THANKS A LOT
GOD BLESS YOU
So still sitting here trying to figure out how this thing turns on..
So just the concept of connecting metal together with holes and rubber in the middle and pumping water through it produces electricity? I still don't understand what it is connected to in order to turn it on.
Sigh~
ok im not a science geek or not even qualify to comment in this field, but, if im not mistaken, he is trying to produce HHO...from water...that will fill in those plates...when it is charge (the positive and negative like he sketched)...the H2O which is water...will break down to HH and O...HH is then collected and being "lead" (using tube maybe?) to say an engine. combine HH with spark or fire will create "exploding" effect ..or combustion in your engine....hows that for an explanation from someone who knows nothing about this :P
M.Gadafi Sabli
so basically they use a battery?
Yea I did some more research.. for some reason I didn't realize you needed a battery to charge the plates. My brain broken. =P
Yes battery is used as power source, when there is current flowing (i think this is the same concept as electrolysis..correct me if im wrong)..the negative side of the battery that charges the plate will "attracts" hydrogen...while the positive side "attracts" the oxygen ...a lot of these setup also includes a bubbler (which i think used as an indicator whether your plates or dry cell does its job or not...bubbles produced indicates that it is doing its job)..and i noticed the water is mix with some electrolyte (ive seen even baking soda used) to increase efficiency of the current flowing...i too just started researching about this...so..
I am connecting mine to the + on the alternater and running it through a vacume line on the carb !!!!
Corrected it is nothing at all like electrolysis. So anyway, it can be connected to house power supply. This is a very basic tutorial, he didn't even add an electrolyte to the water which is paramount. Also, you really need a WPM for optimum use.
ha ha ha it gonna blow fuse for sure.
