How can I make my HHO dry cell produce more hydrogen, without heating up or drawing more amps?

Question

I have built an HHO cell and I need it to produce more hydrogen gas. What is it that makes the difference? More/less plates? Thinner/thicker gauge steel? Electrolyte formula? Space between plates? Size of plates? Position of O-rings? Size of water-flow holes? I can't seem to nail it down! Please can someone who is an expert on this subject help me out! Thank you!! Jules

Keep adding plates and removing the oxidized plates. The hydrogen produced from these scams are not entirely from electrolysis as that would never produce enough hydrogen to even replace the energy used in electrolysis but also from the oxidation of metals, in effect using metal as a fuel, this metal may not even be directly in the cell but oxidized externally with the electron flow throughout the car.

Basically, for onboard hydrogen generation to work, you need another source of fuel although that source may not be immediately evident to the laymen hence many people are easily lead to believe that the concept worked when in fact there are other reactions occurring. This makes the concept perfect for swindling money from people especially since most people know about electrolysis of water to make hydrogen and oxygen as it's a common physics demonstration in grade school but few people are aware of the actual amount of energy involved in electrolysis versus how much can be recovered by using hydrogen as a fuel. Add to this that auto manufacturers have occasionally toyed with the idea of a hydrogen car as another designed obsolescence marketing vector and the concept receives an aura of possibility in the minds of the uninformed.

So when you refill your "water" car, replace all the oxidized metal while you're at it and add some gasoline then pat your back for being so easily fooled.

Current through the electrolyte is important, so more plate surface area would be beneficial. However, many have seen that bubbles form on the plates, which in effect reduces surface area until the bubble leaves and liquid contacts the plate again. If a lot of bubbles are being formed, the rising bubbles may help to knock off other bubbles, leading to better gas production. Also some sort of agitation make help as well.

Electrolyte formula could certainly effect the efficiency as well.

Answer 3

Burn NG, or extract Hydrogen from NG the way they do in the fuel cell generators.

Answer 4

Makes no difference as it requires 300% more electric power than U can get out.Man has tried to solve that problem fo 100 years/
