HHO Cell Wiring Diagram with EFIE and PWM

Since it took me so long to find information on this I figured I could help save some people some time and make this info available to them more quickly.  As I have researched for ways to wire this for my truck I came across AlmostHydrogen on youtube.  He has found an easy way to relay this info through a picture diagram.  He explains everything you will need as far as wire, tools, etc.  The most important reason why people's HHO Cells don't seem to work at increasing mileage is because of this right here.  They do no wire everything correctly or have the right parts.  They may even forget to put something in the system.  So as far as I know this  is one of the most accurate diagrams I have found.  He has other videos of wiring these HHO Cells, but the video I posted below is the one I have found to be the best. This video does not include wiring for a MAP/MAF Enhancer. I am still looking for a video on the wiring for that.  But it is probably safe to say that you would just switch out the EFIE for that.  Please enjoy and be safe!

PWM - Pulse Width Modulator - is a commonly used technique for controlling power to inertial electrical devices, made practical by modern electronic power switches

HHO Cell Flash Back Protection

One major safety feature that most people tend to over look is flash back protection for there HHO systems.  These flash ports, one way check valves, or pressure releases (all have same effect) need to be on your system in case hydrogen ignites inside the tubing of your system.  Without flash back protection all of the HHO in the system will ignite and since there is no pressure release it is at risk of exploding.  This will ultimately ruin your cell and you will have to start again from scratch.   Flash back ports can be as simple as using a T-connector and putting an empty balloon at one end so if there is an explosion it will blow off the balloon.  That is pretty archaic so I recommend either buying a one way check valve or making a flash port for your bubbler.  Trust me, unless you want an explosion to occur where it will ruin everything you have made, buy or make some sort of flashback protection.  The video below is a quick tutorial on how this guy makes his flashports for his bubbler out of relatively cheap parts.  Enjoy the video!

Wet Cell or Dry Cell: That is the Question

There is a lot of controversy today over which design for an HHO cell is best.  So I have found the answer for you like I am supposed to since it is my job here at HHO Database. It really only comes down to a few main points on why one is better than the other.  If you are just getting started and not too sure on how everything works, the wet cell is probably for you.  It is easier and cheaper to make therefore is the logical option for someone who is just starting or on a budget.  The only downsides to making these are they have a very rare chance of exploding due to spark inside the container, and you may need to make 2 or 3 and connect them all up to get the same output as one dry cell.  The dry cell is definitely more efficient.  It has less energy leakage and creates a greater output of HHO than a wet cell at the same voltage.  The downsides are you usually need to buy a kit from a website to get the parts, which is very expensive, and to make it yourself you would need a lot of material and knowledge with power tools.  My summary of the answer is basic so that is why I have provided the below video on the subject.  Hope the video helps and enjoy!

Does Adding an HHO Cell Generator to Your Car Increase Fuel Mileage?

If you do a Google search or a Youtube search for "HHO CELL INCREASE MPG" I can almost guarantee that more than half of the results you get will be about how it isn't true, it will ruin your car, Mythbusters busted it, it doesn't increase fuel economy, etc., etc. But to tell you the truth, you need more than just hooking up a HHO Cell to your air intake to increase your mileage.  It requires a few for steps than that.  It still is quite easy, but there a few extra very important things that need to be added to your system to make your car recognize the HHO gas and use it efficiently.  In just about every modern car after, maybe, the late 60s has an O2 sensor of some sort in the engine.  The O2 sensor calculates how much O2 is inside the engine opposed to how much is outside the engine.  This then creates a voltage in the sensor between 0 and 1 volts.  The computer in the car takes this reading and will decide whether to add more gasoline to the combustion chamber or use less.  The optimal voltage is .5 volts. When you add an HHO Cell to the air intake the amount of oxygen inside the engine rises which tells the computer to add more gasoline to counteract it.  This is why people think the HHO Cell can not work at increasing fuel economy. But, there is a nifty little device they have out now called an EFIE.  An EFIE is connected to the computer and O2 sensor and can be calibrated to change the reading from the O2 sensor to trick the computer to thinking the same amount of oxygen is in the air intake.  This will make the engine use the hydrogen more efficiently and therefore give you better gas mileage. Depending on what year your car was made and what make it is, you may need to use a MAP/MAF Enhancer instead of an EFIE to achieve the same results. For more info on O2 Sensor Basics please click to read this post.  The following video (below) is one I found again from HHO Connection with him explaining more in-depth what I have said above.  Please study up and enjoy.  IT IS POSSIBLE!!

O2 Sensor Basics

Knowing how the O2 Sensor in your car works is critical to the efficiency of your HHO Cell.  You have to know how they work so you can know how to modify them so you can get optimal MPGs from your tank of gas.  I have found this video from EricTheCarGuy.  He seems to know a lot on the subject so I will let him explain a bit more on how these things work.

HHO Cell Heat Problems

A lot of people have emailed me asking me how to fix the heating problems with their cells.  And so i took it upon myself to fins a video or article on the internet that would explain the answer.  The answer to the heating problem is quite simple.  When everyone is making HHO cells they are  trying to connect positive leads and negative leads to every other plate which is a big problem.  This causes the same amount of electricity to go to each of the plates causing an excess amount of volts going through the cell.  Electrolysis is what we are aiming for.  Electrolysis is the process in which oxygen and hydrogen break their bonds in the water molecule and become a gas when electricity is passed through them.  This process starts happening when around 1.8 volts is passed through the water.  Maximum electrolysis happens at right about 2 volts.  So when you try to connect leads from a 12 volt battery to every plate, there is excess and therefore a waste of electricity which is given off as heat.  So to combat this problem, you must introduce neutral plates to your cell to even out the flow of voltage through the cell.  This video I have found is again from HHO Connection (he is great with this stuff).  He explains, and shows, how neutral plates help with the heating problem. Enjoy!

Introduction to HHO Experimentation

If you are considered a "noob" of HHO technology.  I have come across a man on youtube that seems to know a lot about the subject of HHO tech.  In this video, he explains the basics of HHO gas and  how to get started with HHO experimentation.  Please enjoy the video and study up.

Premiere of HHO Database

This is the first post of many on this blog.  I will have links to instructional, educational, and helpful videos and articles relevant to HHO cells, generators, and things that you do with them such as just science experiments, improving your fuel economy, or making torches.  Everything you read and learn how to do from the database is done at your own risk! I am not responsible, nor are the people who wrote the articles and made the videos responsible for any consequences you encounter making these cells.  Enjoy the blog and please leave feedback on topics you would like any constructive feedback is much appreciated.  Have fun and be safe!
