Hey Kevin ...

Do you know of any good information or informative sites or anything about Herman and his inventions aside from http://www.hermansinsight.com/ ??

I see the engine picture, and don't remember that on his site (though I haven't see it in a while). I can't find anymore info on him, and I would like to know a bit more about some of his ideas. I know he did this stuff for MANY years.

there is a few guys on egas that are trying to duplicate his electrolyzer but havent got to talk to any of them.I would definately like to understand his process myself and I keep looking but dont come up with anything either.Just what I read on egas from those guys but hopefully something will come out soon.

Thanks man..........this for me is like a second job........lol

striping parts from a land cruiser..guess thats what im gonna try to do 2day or find a water pump anyhow...
thanks for the compliment

couldnt find a used pump but bought a new one for 5o bucks.But I think i'm gonna have a problem......i may end up loosing all the preasure out the end plates as they dont have the seal as the others do from both sides.Any how im drying a test tank supply hose 2 nite and will find out first thing in the mornning.

yes the end plates release most of the preasure not allowing a complete seal at the end.I plan to add a dry cell at each end to fix that problem as soon as i get more quad rings.I had a problem getting water in with the quad rings being 1/8 inch wide,needing much preasure to have any success.So i used a sewing needle and pushed some holes around the center of the quad rings allowing slightly less preasure for water intake.It worked,but still requiring alot of preasure allowing the end plates to release most of it.

******another day another lesson***********

Ended up make'n a change to the size of the Quad rings to 5/16 .i d. as the 3/8 id were actually too wide causing a need for accesive preasure.The new ones do work well at letting the water in.

Patience is going a long way with me........lol as aggravting as it gets sometimes its worth the effort.Though its not my idea or design,it feels good to get something accomplished when working hard on a project none the less.Im 'bout ready to add some power to my project now.Aiming for some production results over the weekend if I have time.
Rite now i wanna voltage step upper to get things going faster.Actually i wanna know what source I can use to give it all its capable of handling.I still dont have exact measurements of surface area.....guess i need to do that Cool

Hi Kevin,
You must to see how is working your unit.For now ,fill in your booster with electrolyte and connect to the batery of idling car.If youn have good result then you can solve water filling problem Smile

Eco:
Im kinda familar with what kinda results i will get just hooking that booster up to an idle car when its cold.Im more interested (4 now) in what kind of power supply i can use in conjuction with a stand alone 12 to 14 volt battery or any way i can use a 12 volt system to dump alot of voltage into it.(if only for 10 seconds)Im not sure how about doing that but i do know that a distributer coil puts out alot of voltage.
If my unit is insulated very well,is there a way to dump those massive voltages into it, if only for just a few seconds?I need a way to warm it up before i can hook it up to an idle car to get maximum results.
Thinking of a heating coil or something like that.If what power i need from my trucks battery or alternator is refurbished in the process -so be it- I just want a way to get it warm fast. Smile

The aswer im looking for is probably alot simpler than any way i mentioned above.Im not an electronics tech or electrician so i dont even know what options are even available to try, so actaully I am asking for help if someone has info.......Im up for trying anything....lol Cool

If you need lot of voltage you can found some distributor from V8 engine i rotate shaft with small electric motor with variable speed. Smile

change of plan...need a way to warm unit with something like a heater hose - not high voltage-

Still looking for the best way or cheap way to get a litlle more power from my truck to the unit.Is a dc to dc converter the only options?

How much power are you looking at getting, Kevin? What current do you want to run through your electrolyser?
