MOS68X's new sealed/dry cell

tall balls- mostly because people are too lazy to learn how to write a script and program a chip. a 555 timer is simple because playing with caps and resistors purchased @ radioshack is easier than learning a programming language.

yes people are lazy.

sweet benz!

hey thanks. i just disabled the 'lyser in order to put a second unit in parallel, pushing 35 amperes through 32 square inches of plate area isnt exactly what i'd call efficient. the second unit is already built, and i'll admit i stopped working on it in order to go see a girl, haha...priorities! i just wanted to mix all the different batches of electrolyte together and get a really strong mix, then fill up the second unit and screw on the terminals.

so doubleing plate area and keeping amperes the same..... hmmm. even so, 20 amps per cell is still over twice what boyce reccommends. i should bite the bullet and have the local steel company laser-cut me some custom plates so i can build a really bitchin cell with some serious plate area. those switchplate covers are weak, but cheap! 1.38 each versus about seven dollars each.

As to the PWM3 Board: I have had Many of these Mailed to me, because the guys couldn't get them to work to achieve any resonance or any increase in HHO Production over conventional brute force electrolysis. (Many of these boards were Half Burned up, needing repair.)

The real problem here is 555's use R/C parts to create the Frequencies. These are Very Unstable and will not maintain an accurate frequency and therefore an Non-Sustained Resonance.
(Both Resistors and caps Vary in value when heated or cooled.)

message sent. With moving we have lost internet until we get it back on...hopefully after the 1st, just borrowing the in-law's right now to check email.

I will be at NTC training in California for nearly all of November, so I will be without an internet connection to post anything. It's not like I'll have anything to post anyways since I will be away from my house and too busy with Army stuff. Hopefully by the time I get back home the wife will have most of the rest of the house unpacked so that I can focus on getting my car street legal, then unpacking the garage and then finishing the cell.
I'm hoping that I will get the rest of my DITY $$$$ so that I can order the stuff for a new cell with all of my revisions.

I will be home shortly and hopefully I can get the internet on at the house soon. I have my money from the government for my DITY move so now I can finish the car and order all new revision 3 plates for my cell at the house. I'm still trying to decide if I want to go through the effort of cutting all the gaskets or having someone else laser cut them for me(expesive). I am also thinking of getting the toroid kit and building the one for the PWM3G so that I can try to do the resonance in the cell. I still have to get a nitrous plate so that I can put it in the motor too.

res, check your email

Well, I have a nitrous plate in the mail, to show up on friday morning along with all my exhaust parts. There always seems to be something in the way of getting this project finished, which now is Christmas shopping for the family. I may have to wait until I'm out in Afghanistan or afterwards at the latest. I will try to get the plates in the next couple months though since I really want to do some testing on the cell BEFORE I leave. With the nitrous plate I can at least put the cell that I have already built in the car and see some results while I'm getting the new cell made.

I have had the nitrous plate in hand for a while now but with other unfinished projects and the holidays I have not had time to play with this cell on the car. With the trouble this carburetor has given me in it's really lousy mpg I think this would be a good chance to start implementing the hydroxy onto this motor. I will have to find my timing light though so that I can see what my timing is right now and to set it to where it needs to be when I put the hydroxy on. I have measured the proposed location and the cell will fit without a problem so I'm thinking of trying to fit the cell into the car and seeing how much it will effect this car's mpg.

I need some help with the tuning on this PWM3G board. I started to work on the tuning as per the instructions by turning the PW on channel 1 fully clockwise, but the screw keeps turning. Is this normal or is there supposed to be a stop in it?

mos68x · Posted: Mon Dec 21, 2009 8:40 pm Post subject:

Ok, I have them tuned as best as possible. Unfortunately it looks like I'll have to reset the tuning everytime I need to change my settings for the pulse width.

I'm still not getting lights on the channels by the MOSFET's though, anyone have any ideas why?

I have ordered some new jets and rods for my carburetor so that I can lean it down from where it is right now. The mpg in this thing really sucks right now, it's down at 10.1mpg. It is way less than where it should be with this motor, I should be getting at least 17 or so, even without the hydroxy added to the motor. Right now I'm unable to get the cell into the spot where I want it in the car so once I decide on either 1) getting new fittings and lines to run to the motor, cell, and tank, or 2) getting new bolts for the cell, I will get the cell into the car and start putting the gas in the car. Of course when I do start putting the hydroxy in the motor in large amounts I'll have to get valves that I can control by the throttle and find a way to meter it even across the RPM range so that I can evenly lean out the motor and make it a gradual change to hydroxy. I will also have to figure out a way to keep the motor running at all times so that I can keep the water from freezing until I find a better way to keep that from happening.
