    Hey MoonRaker, I think that's cool!

    I love to tinker with ideas and try to gain an understand why things do or don't work. Sounds like that's what you are going for. I rarely find the time for those little pet projects, so I applaud your effort and descriptions of anything you learn about this subject.
    My guess is that you won't learn or achieve exactly what you intended, but as many have in the past you will learn something else that surprizes you even more! (and have a blast doing it)

    It looks like this device isn't seperating the Hydrogen from the Oxygen, so it's a new concept to me. If burning it as you make it, this should be fine. If storing it, you would want to just store the Hydrogen, cuz theres lots of Oxygen to be had from the air as you need it.

    Also, I'm not sure that you can't upload photos if not a member. I think you are just limited in storage space???

    Keep working on your dreams, stick with the facts, share with those who are interested, oh and most importantly be SAFE.

    My 2.499999999 cents worth
    If you don't first THINK THINK, you could end up in deep DO DO!

    The oxygen in the hydrogen also acts like an excelerant but I scratched the idea of storage. It seems that you can only make so much before it starts costing effeciancy and builds alot of heat. I have one settup on the bench that im doing the preassure testing with. Its a tubler settup but bigger and solid stainles. Its the one id be affraid of using in my VX unless I can change the timming. After it reaches 130 it tends to kinda boil over so im still working on electrolite mixture to keep it below that. Also if you use anything that isnt pure stainles as a metal you run into contamination issues wich if you dont change the water often it becomes a heat issue also. Im also trying to avoid a situation like this or worse.

    Nice reading. Seems alot of people are liking hydrogen.

    Well, made a few adjustments. I move the imput of hydrogen to the intake from the PCV. I patched up all the holes and settup a controled vacume bleed. It seems the ECU trimmed its self to the stock perameters, all except the MAF the other way.

    Are you using a ScanGauge or something to see what the system is doing? I'd be interested in the Fuel Injector Trim #'s, as this may be an indicator of what's happening in there. (I've played a bit with them to help figure out my problems, you have to program them into the Scangauge - Xgauge)
