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 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_plates.htm 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...
-
Rest in peace the man who boosted/sparked my love for engineering.

Just stumbled across this and it warmed my heart to see and hear Grant again. RIP
-
Rest in peace. This was my favorite lesson/ video from you
-
RIP the man who made my interest in science as a child grow beyond anything I could imagine. You are my hero.

8 years later: MELTING CRAYONS EXPERIMENT!! (gone wrong)
-
he died too early, atleast he lived a happy life here. R.I.P we all love you. legends forever live
-
This is the most beautiful HHO generator on youtube. We all miss your neat style of making projects.
-
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...
-
R.I.P to the man that pushed my interest in creating as a kid which is now translating to what is soon to be an electronic engineering degree, thank you Grant, wherever you are now.
-
Using this for a school project 8 years after watching it, you really taught and entertained me for years, RIP, Love you man.
-
LOUD EXPLOSION Neighbors: WTH looks outside Oh its grant... back to work
-
This was the first video of Grant's I ever saw. Inspired me to be more creative in my life. Rest in peace you magnificent legend.
-
This is my final year project "solar hydrogen generation and storage
-
I can’t believe this was 8 years ago already. I remember watching this when it first came out.
-
RIP man I use to wake up and always look forward to seeing your videos every morning
-
These are the videos i loved grant for. not the new children's science experiments he does
-
Who else got this recommended 10 years later
