HHO booster parts list

There is nothing more frustrating than trying to get all the parts together that are needed for a project. I have a list of parts that are needed to make a 4"x12", 16 plate HHO booster. Most of these parts can be found at your local hardware store. I have also included sources for some items that may be hard to find.

4-inch diameter PVC pipe 12-inches long 1 Forms the body of the booster
4-inch diameter PVC pipe end-cap 1 Closes the bottom of the booster
4-inch diameter PVC pipe screw cap 1 The top of the booster
Half-inch diameter PVC pipe elbow 1 The gas take-off from the booster
Quarter-inch diameter PVC pipe elbow 2 The water-level indicator connectors
Quarter-inch clear plastic tubing 36 - inch The water-level indicator tubing
Stainless steel switch covers 16 The plate array components
Stainless steel straps 12-inches long 2 The electrical connections to the plates
One-inch diameter PVC pipe 12-inch Available at Home Depot
Quarter-inch stainless steel bolts 1” long 2 Electrical strap connection to the top cap
Quarter-inch stainless steel nuts & washers 2 To fit the steel bolts
Quarter-inch diameter stainless steel nuts 14 To fit nylon threaded rod
Quarter-inch diameter nylon threaded rod 8” min. Nylon Threaded Rod 1/4"-20 Thread.
McMaster Carr Part No 98831A028
Quarter-inch nylon washers 1-pack Nylon 6/6 Flat Washer 1/4" Screw Size,.252"
ID,.472" OD, .054"-.070" Thick, Packs of 100
McMaster Carr Part No 90295A140
Quarter-inch Tube Fitting 90 Degree Elbow 2 Sanitary White PVDF Single-Barbed Tube Fitting
90 Degree Elbow for 1/4" Tube ID X 1/2" NPT
Male Pipe. McMaster Carr Part No 53055K189
Quarter-inch Tube Fitting 90 Degree Elbow 2 Sanitary White PVDF Single-Barbed Tube Fitting
90 Degree Elbow for 1/4" Tube ID X 1/4" NPT
Male Pipe. McMaster Carr Part No 53055K183
One-way valve 2 Diaphragm Check Valve Nylon
Body/Fluorosilicone Diaphragm, 1/4" Barb

PVC glue 1 tube Same color as the PVC pipe if possible
Optional: Light Emitting Diode 1 10 mm diameter, red, with panel-mounting clip
Quarter-watt resistor 1 470 ohm (code bands: Yellow, Purple, Brown)

HHO booster electrolyte

Fill your booster with distilled water and NaOH (sodium hydroxide) or KOH (potassium hydroxide) only. No
tap water, salt water or rainwater! No table salt or baking soda! These materials will permanently damage
the booster!
First, fill the booster with distilled water about 2" from the top. Add a teaspoon of KOH or NaOH to the water
and then slide the top into place. Do not tighten it for now, but leave the top loose and resting in place.
Connect your 12V power supply to the leads and monitor the current draw of the unit. You want 16 amps
flowing when the booster is cold. As the water heats up over time, the current draw will increase by around
4 amps until it reaches about 20 amps, and this is why you are aiming for only 16 amps with a cold system.
If the current is too high, dump out some electrolyte and add just distilled water. If the current is too low, add
a pinch or two at a time of your catalyst until the 16 amps is reached. Overfilling your booster will cause
some of the electrolyte to be forced up the output tube, so a liquid level tube was added to monitor
electrolyte level.
The booster generally needs to be topped off once a week, depending on how long it is in operation. Add
distilled water, then check your current draw again. You may observe a drop in current over the course of a
few refills, and this is normal. Some of the catalyst escapes the cell suspended in water vapor droplets, so
from time to time you may need to add a pinch or two. The water in the bubbler acts to scrub this
contaminant out of the gas as well. I highly recommend installing an ammeter to monitor current draw as
you operate your booster.

Reduce vehicle emissions with a HHO booster



Reducing Vehicle Emissions is a popular topic these days and one of the most effective ways to do that with
any vehicle with an internal-combustion engine is to use a HHO “hydroxy” booster. Hydroxy is the name given to
the mixture of gases produced when an electric current is passed through water in a container and that is
generally called a “booster”. For a booster to be effective, several important details have to be
understood. The electric current needed to generate the hydroxy gas, is relatively minor and can usually be
supplied by the electric system of the vehicle without any difficulty. Using a booster cleans out any old
carbon deposits from inside the engine, makes the vehicle run more smoothly and more powerfully, and
reduces harmful exhaust emissions to zero. On e slight problem is that a vehicle with a booster fitted can
sometimes fail an automated emissions test in the USA as the computer thinks that the exhaust pipe must
be broken because it can measure no pollution emissions at all.

HHO relay hookup


Make sure you use a 30amp automotive relay when you wire your HHO booster to your cars electrical system. This will turn the HHO off when the car is off, and it will also keep the electrical system from drawing too many amps through the ignition.
Next to the poles on the relay you will see a small number stamped into the relay. These poles on the relay are connected as follows:

86 to + tap from Ignition or Fuel Pump Fuse
85 to common ground
30 + from Battery (Use Appropriate Gauge)
87 to Booster +
87a Could run to an LED that would light if something goes wrong and you lose power through relay

Convert to HHO: 15 reasons why you should

The reasons to convert your car include:

* Save money on Gas
* Stop pinging
* Reduce emission-related pollution
* Get better mileage on every tank of gas. from 20%
to 100% (some studies have shown a 35% AVG.)
* It is reversible (wont affect the value of your car when you get a new car)
* Not affected by the rise and fall of gas prices to the same degree as before
* Smoother and cleaner running engine
* More power
* Works on diesels
* Works with all engines!
* Extend the life span of your engine
* Receive IRS refunds owed to you by law for using green technology in your vehicle!
* It’s easy to install
* The monthly cost is low ( 1 Gallon of water + 5 tee spoons of baking soda)
* Purchasing the Parts and Installation is inexpensive and easy
