Yeah thats true. But I don't care how long it takes. If it saves ANY money on gas, count me in

The only problems I could see are detonation, because it is being compressed...

Well i seen the price of gas today was 3.75 a gal so i got a lil bit of incentive and went out too the garage and installed the hho cell . first thing that happened was i burnt up a 15 amp fuse, so i put a 20 amp fuse in and i melted the casing on the fuse holder. so i got out some very heavy wire like the one you would wire an amp with and
put a 20 in it. seemed to help for the time being.
i was at my local watering hole and this guy was talking to me and he wanted to see it work well i took him outside and pulled the hose off after the bubbler and lit it up...KABOOOOOM. it blew the lid of the bubbler. talk about proving it works , it sounded like someone lit a m80 off.. well anyways no harm no foul, and mind you it only ran for about 30 seconds when i did that stunt(note to self.. dont do that again). but it was impressive.

I did notice after running it for a few minutes that i was getting water out of the tail pipe, but no water is getting into the throttle body.
i am still worried about the heat that it generates and have no idea how many amps it pulling.
i measured the gas output and it was 600ml in 45 seconds, so i figured about a lil less than 1 liter per minute.

i have a new design im working on and want to build it this weekend i hope to double the output of hho.

Most of the ones I've read about have some sort of flash back valve to prevent your little explosion from happening. Glad no one was hurt though. Keep up the good work and keep us informed.

i want to be able too see how many amps the unit is pulling. i have a multimeter but it does not have an amp reader at least i cant find it. so my question is is there some one who has a amp meter or be able to guide me to a place that sells them cheap.

I have made a few changes in the design in the cell and have got some promising results.
I was getting around 17mpg after the first trial run i had a 7 mpg gain. so for those who say this stuff is BS i say check my tank.
