will take the plates time to break in. The temp of the water and soda has to be about 120*F before the unit will be at peak output on some units this could be a short time o many hours depends on the volume. I am testing Vinegar now seams to work well with less brown stuff and good discharge.

Also using plates...was using 3 & 3 setup...seemed that only one plate from each side was generating any gases...multiple plates may not put out any more than a single plate...testing a new setup later this coming week....hope it generates more output...

My setup today is a double plate in series setup. What is your discharge on the setup? ...

Please, please, please don't waste one dollar on this contraption. Do some research on hydrogen production here
Hydrogen production - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you do buy this product, at least be honest for the rest of the forum readers and let them know what you have found.

I hope that I don't make anyone mad by my first post. It is just that I hate to see innocent people taken advantage of.

Driving my Diesel and loving it.

Yes I am a non-believer, Yes I know that diesel prices are thru the roof. I hate paying over $3 per gallon myself. I like the idea of using veggi oil but I only drive 12 miles to work and you have to get the oil up to temp before running it so it may not be practical for me.

As far as this hydrogen generator goes. I don't bieleve a word of it. Auto manufactors have been trying for a decade to make an economical vehicle that runs on hydrogen. The infrastructure is not there for supplying hydrogen for vehicles. If they could make a mobile hydrogen generator that goes on a vehicle they would have done that, but it is not possible now.

I have been reading several cummins boards for a while know (TDR mainly) but just found this one. Looks good.

there are people that drive the cummins to work and there are people that work there cummins. most people that work there cummins (like myself) are destroying our pocket book at the diesel pump. it sucks to be a test rat but you will never know how good or bad something is. i bought the 12a kit, i havent recieved it yet. it doesnt produce enough h2 to run a 3hp motor either. but in theory it produces enough to make a difference on a diesel engine. if you do the research on hydrogen and understand a diesel engine, you will know that the good things out weigh the bad. i can not think of anything bad other then leaving the cell powered up without running the engine. in that case loading the intake full of h2. that would be bad. but at the end of a day you have to do what you have to do.

A local guy built one of these type units, but unfortunately, I do not know what ever happened with his system. A few were sold local, he made a big company with a partner, and I don't know what happened from there. The company they formed was IRAAL, which got bought up by some Canadian company last I knew, and don't know where it went from there. He was claiming the same gains that these state, and he tested it out on cars and trucks and tractors. He called it the hydro power pack if I recall...

A couple of the Big 3 have hydrogen powered public transportation buses operating in California on nothing but hydrogen...It's experimental I hear and they seem to be running fine except for one mishap, a small explosion while being serviced...tore the bus in half...Other than that, still running the other buses....So the BIG 3 can build a car or truck that runs on hydrogen if they wanted too...Cost, I'm guessing would be high at this time. So don't be such a non believer...Google BROWN"S GAS and check out some of the sites that come up...

It's good to question things! I too smell snake oil..... But I want it to work!!
There are a few reputable people on here that say it works. I have to take them at their word.
I would like to know what some of the different designs are. Which ones seem to work the best? Are there ever any problems? What about ingesting water or a bit of residue from the process? That would probably be bad for the life of the engine.....
Anyway, I may try to look up some of you. I would like to call and talk to who ever would let me wear out their ear! I thought that maybe I could try and coordinate a bit of this togeather into our own 'white paper' or what ever to be able to give guys like me an idea of how to best do this! If you are willing to do this; please PM me with your number and I will be giving you a call some weekend or maybe after 9PM MTN if that is a good time for you.....
Thanks,
Dan

I hope people post their results good or bad. I wouldn't worry about the motor taking a little water through the intake. The water injection kits are sopposed to clean up carbon and not be hard on your motor. I know the water won't be atomized, but it should be such a small amount I don't think it will have any ill effects. I have pulled the boot off at the intake manifold and wiped water out of the bellow many times. If the kits are mounted lower than where you tap into the intake most of the water should run back to the unit, shouldn't it?

There are people that say nay to new things and only complain about what others do to them (The Oil Company) and there are those who find a work around for a problem. Then all of a sudden the work around works and everybody wants to hop on the band wagon. Instead of sitting there telling us “this wont work”. Why don’t you do the research and testing while I sit back and complain and tell you that it won’t work. Why not help us find something that works and share your knowledge instead of trying to make a buck on it.
