HHO Generators: How do you engineer a design?

Question

There are various designs out there, but none of them have any engineering information with them.

1. What kind of plates work with how much efficiency?

2. What size should the plates be for a specific input/output?

3. How many plates are required for s specific input/output?

4. How much water is needed based on plate count and size?

5. How much catalyst (baking soda/salt)?

6. How much input energy (volts/amps) is required?

This is not related to a specific cell, so the answer would have to be a formula rather than "2 plates" or "1 tsp".

Answer 1

your answers so far are off-topic so I might as well throw my useless comments into the ring.

the laws of thermodynamics don't actualy come into play with regard to your question.  I'd have to assume that the person that wrote that answer is just mad that he thought he could use HHO to remove the gas tank from his car.  He probably has no idea that people use HHO for welding or plasma cutters.

Regardless of the use, you're question should have a somewhat serious answer that doesn't include trolls that are unhappy about people thinking HHO is free gasoline.

Regarding power consumption, nothing is ever free.  That is why we pay for things like gasoline, electricty, firewood,, etc.  These guys were to busy assuming you wanted free power, and should have left the answers to people that can actualy read the question.

The question, as I read it, has to do with parameters associated with customzing HHO cells not with proving cold fusion.

Better luck finding better answers, I doubt the realy smart people are wasting time on yahoo answers.  They probably have real jobs with real science.

Answer 2

First of all, this is a big scam, so it's a waste of my time to work on it.

But I'll tell you that the input power will always be several times any power you can get from combustion of the output gases.

Answer 3

Step one would be to figure out a way around the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd laws of thermodynamics.  Without overcoming that hurdle, you're doomed to failure in the sense you will pay more for the energy required to do the hydrolysis of water than you will get back from burning the product gas.  Optimizing plate size, voltage, catalyst choice etc. are all directly analogous to arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic hoping you can find a pattern that will fix the hole in the hull.

edit:  Hey IC dude, read the 2nd paragraph in the website the asker provides.  You won't, which is why your response is all that more endearing.
