Maggie Hybrid II

So in order not to hijack the previous maggie hybrid thread but still reference to it I've decided to start a new one. I've been working with SoCalRT on an HHO project. The biggest obstacle I'm running into is lack of space under the hood. In order to bypass this problem even if it is for testing purposes I've decided to build it as a module and put it in the back. As a safety precaution I'm disconnecting the power and venting the system completely when not in use. I'm also going to pressure test the system up to 15PSI in order

Since I have the room I'm taking pieces from several ideas I've seen floating around. First is beekinLeadman's verticle PVC method. The container is going to be a 3in PVC with a 1.5in pipe inside. The inside pipe is going to be knotched in order to hold the spiral wire electrodes. One end of the container will be permanently sealed while the other end will contain a cleanout opening that will have a gasket in order to seal it.

To trick the computer I'm looking at a MAP/O2 sensor enhancer. I found a source for about 85 bucks. SoCalRT researched using the Predator kit and found that you would have to get a custome tune that would run in excess of 450 dollars.

That is where I stand now. Thoughts on this project? Ideas?

I started on my unit last weekend and have decided to locate it in the area where the stock intake silencer was located. I opened up the stock hole to accommodate the unit plus a little extra to get some air flow around the unit to aid in cooling it down. I built a bracket out of aluminum to hold the unit and it is nearly hidden from site, but still easy enough to monitor. I think I can make the entire unit stealth to the casual observer...increased mileage is one thing, but for me it also needs to look good...

I think I will try my hand at building MAP and O2 sensor enhancers myself this weekend. They are made from common parts that I can get at Fry's or Radio Shack...

All three of us are using a different designs for the actual HHO generation units. Hopefully we can get some positive results from our science projects...

I'll keep you posted either way...

Well I built a prototype of the HHO generator. Definitely needs some tuning. Still having problems keeping the electrode tube centered. I think its time I build a suitable workshop in the basement. Pictures to come soon.

Hey Guys...
Since the HHO Generator is water based, I'm guessing that this may only be a fair weather accessory? I'm all for alternative energy sources, but I don't think a block of ice will work so well in the Indiana winters...

What you guys are doing is exciting! The last thing I want to do is give up my RT for a Smart 4-2...

any pics. you guy's can post as you go would be great. sounds like your both on the right track , keep it up and keep us posted.

I have my unit up and running, on the bench...I still need to complete the MAP enhancer, I finally have all the parts needed. Apparently we aren't the only one playing around with HHO generators, as some of the parts are out-of-stock at many locations. I had three different Radio Shack clerks say they have had a run on 33k .5 watt resistors for the same type of projects...

I will get some shots up hopefully later today...

I'm like a deer in headlights lost right now...what you are doing sounds complicated... lol good luck and have fun!
