Comment RSSHow Do You Keep an HHO Hydrogen Generator From Freezing?
15.09.08 # 21:12 # Redneck Ramblings # 19 CommentsThis is a pressing question for many people who are working on hho hydrogen cells. Winter is fast approaching, and still no breakthrough on how to keep our hho hydrogen generators from freezing. We need to figure this out and pronto, or we won’t be able to use our hho generators until spring thaw. So, how will keep the water from turning to ice and freezing the housing, cracking it wide open? Let’s face it, folks. The answer could be just as complicated as passing the 2008 CPA Board Exam!
Some people have used regular automotive antifreeze, which naturally doesn’t freeze but also doesn’t make as much hho gas. Others have added methanol or ethanol alcohol to the units. The problem is that it is hard to keep enough alcohol in the water if your hho unit is hooked up with vacuum and the temperature of the water gets very high during operation. This can cause alcohol to evaporate off, and the lower concentrations can allow the hydrogen generator to freeze at night or when sitting.
Others claim that high levels of electrolyte will stop the generator or lines from filling with ice. I hope to test that later on this year. Without trying a few things after temperatures go below freezing, we won’t know for sure which methods work and which don’t. Hopefully we will be able to stop hho hydrogen generators from freezing and continue to use them to get better fuel mileage all winter.

The solution is simple…use Blue Beaver Beer! ;o)

HUH?!

Tammy : Good idea! I’ll have to try that. Almost seems like a waste of beer though…
Canucklehead : You know, the top secret hydrogen devices I have attached to my vehicles.
LOL that’s like the ultimate in long tail keywords I think.
Q: How can you tell that an hho hydrogen generator is running well?
A: He’s 10 yards in front of your refrigerator.

I apologize that this has nothing what so ever to do with your post but I just realized that Jean Luc Picard is one of your most vocal commenters. Wow. Maybe I should promote your beer on my site. Spock might start leaving me comments….

Lisa: You found me out
I think it’s kind of funny, but some people have actually been trying to give me tips on keeping the units from freezing. As you know, that isn’t what I’m up to.
Petra: Haven’t heard from Jean-Luc Picard lately. He’s probably busy negotiating with aliens and whatnot. Check out his site; it’s in our blogroll.

In my next life I am totally coming back as a burly man and this will sooo come in handy. lol

It’s these vital things we need to know!

Jean-Luc: Hope things are still going well with that ambassador…
I must admit, I don’t know what you need the H(2)O for.
You may want to try denatured alcohol, I was told that it will not have as much of a problem with it evaporating. never tried it though

Great info - keep up the great work.
Isnt HHO supposed to be H20?
If you are using electrolysis to generate the hydrogen, add salt to the water. It will lower the freezing point of the water and may improve the efficiency of the hydrogen generation.
why not use rv antifreere?
Several sights say to use windshield wiper fluid in your hydrogen booster, not anti-freeze, because anti-freeze won’t produce that much hydrogen. I am going to test the windshield wiper fluid on my work bench to see how much hydrogen it will produce. I am only going to leave it on for a few seconds, because I am not sure if it will produce some kind of toxic fums.
On another site, a guy said that there is room in the top of booster to allow for freezing, and that the heat generated by the plates when they are switched on, will melt the ice quickly as you worm up your car. So I am going to try to use the windshield wiper fluid, and see if I can keep my hydrogen boosters working all winter.

i have been tpld that there is a thing called heat, its used to dry up water in your engine, im not sure what it is but it can be added to the water and will keep it from freezing without any effects on hho production.
Well I too would like to know what is the best way to keep the hho unit from freezing, washer fluid is just water with about 10 to 20 % rubbing alcohol, and heet is pure denaturated alcohol. Don’t know, but rember if you add to your solution, increasing the electrolyte content, you are going to pull more amps and possibly over heat after a short time of running and put too much strain on the alternator. Be carefull! you don’t want to have to be replacing an alternator because of an overload, somee of these vehicles have expensive parts! a caddy is looking at as least $200+ !!!
I’m looking into a dry cell unit and thinking about a very small block to keep the water luke warm while the vehicle is sitting over nite. maybe even a electral cords used to keep pipes from freezing, don’t know the current draw on these, but maybe a small 100 watt inverter and a auxillary battery if needed to maintain it when your not parked near a power sorce. Keep the ideas rolling in!
