Electrolysis systems

There are many systems to make Oxygen and Hydrogen, also known as Oxyhydrogen, from water. These systems have been associated with hydrogen production, but others have used oxyhydrogen alone to fuel engines ^[1] to welders torches. This is because The oxygen to hydrogen ratio is 1:2 which is perfect because when burned there is no other production other than pure H2O or water. But these systems have been tied with scams as well. The reason for the failures of the scams are due to the fact that usually they don't produce enough oxyhydrogen. Even though many universities and private parties have done test and have argued for years on the results, no official government test data has been released ^[2]

Types of systems

Pipes Method

The Pipes Method uses two pipes, one smaller than the other, the smaller one inside the larger one. A negative or positive charge is run through the larger pipe, and the opposite charge is run through the smaller pipe. But for more effective results, it is possible to put multiple neutral-charged pipes in between the two charged pipes for more surface area on the water to produce more oxyhydrogen. The pipes are usually made of copper or stainless steel. Picture of a Pipes Method System

Stacked Plates Method

The Stacked Method uses multiple plates in close proximity instead of pipes. There can be two or more individual plates. They are usually thin and made of copper or stainless steel. But the same ideas apply. Picture of a Stacked Plates Method System

Two Wires Method

The Two Wires Method is used for examples to show people what HHO is and how it works. This system is just two oppositely charged wires in a jar of water and bubbles slowly are released from the water next to the wires. This system is so slow it can take an hour to create very minimal amounts of oxyhydrogen. The wires can be made of any type of conductive material. Since the wire method is so inefficient, there is no large performance gain or loss with different materials. Picture of a Two Wires Method System
