  1. This first paragraph alone clearly indicates that they haven't the faintest idea what they are talking about!! That said, marketing it to the uneducated and gullible will no doubt make it a resounding success. And let's face it, they have a big market to target!
  2. Stainless Steel electrodes are relatively inert in this environment, and they're easily available in form of everyday kitchen implements, (knives, spoons, etc). Due to it's availability and low cost, SS is actually the preferred material in most electrolyser set ups commonly found on the internet. Rods and plates are relatively very easy to come by.
  3. I was initially going to post this on the Physics forum, but thought better of it as I expect it would quickly end up here anyway. Just not sure if it will get much of a look-in tucked away in the closet, so as to speak. Anyway, I did a search and can find no other posts about this so thought I'd bring it to the attention of a few of you. The science appears quite fascinating to me, but I'm wondering what I might be overlooking given that it is not my primary field of expertise. Check out the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmFbINO0dCU&feature=channel Just one of many from this guy. Any thoughts on what might be happening here?

    Water Fuel

    I know this thread is long dead, but as I've just joined the forum and have some experience in this area, I thought I'd throw in my two-penneth. Firstly, the term HHO, is a real misnomer. This abbreviation in itself creates much confusion as it suggests something that it is not. Believe it or not, this is the Water Fuel Cell laymans term simply for 2H2 and O2. The stoichiometric gases resulting from simple everyday electrolysis. It's wrong, it's misleading and it's confusing, but there you go, that's all it is Unlike in a chemistry class at school where the gases resulting from electrolysis are kept separate in order to show the two-to-one ration when water is broken down, hydrogen and oxygen are simply common ducted together. We have a mixture of H2 and O2. HHO, yes, sometimes known as Brown's Gas has long mislead people into believing that this is some mysterious gas with mysterious properties. It's all nonsense that has gained momentum because of the uneducated and ignorant. When you electrolyse water you get 2H2 and O2, nothing more. The implosion aspect of this gas mixture is also something that has allowed to evolve all sorts of crazy ideas, again giving credence to mysterious properties by the uneducated. Consider this: We have 2H2 and O2. To get these gases from 2H2O, we added energy, so when recombined to H2O, they will naturally give up this energy, in the form of electricity in the new hydrogen fuel cells, or heat in an internal combustion engine. However, 2H2 and O2 cannot recombine into the water molecule before the H2 and O2 molecules first dissociate into atoms. And this is partly where the implosion argument comes from. From an internal combustion engine aspect, energy is added to the 2H2 and O2 in the form of heat. It ignites, but the initial process to initially convert the hydrogen and oxygen molecules to atoms is endothermic, drawing energy from the environment - effectively implosive. However, the following reaction whereby the atoms reform into the molecule is exothermic and more than compenstates for the initial endothermic reaction. And of course this all happens in a fraction of a second. Also, and here's the crux of the implosion argument, in a cold internal combustion engine, as the 2H2 and O2 reforms into liquid water, it is many times less the volume of the gas, so this too adds another dimension within an internal combustion engine, effectively pulling up rather than pushing the piston down. However, once the engine heats up, the resulting water would tend to stay gaseous form rather than contract down to liquid form, so the latter reaction would no longer happen. So there is no mystery here. Igniting 2H2 in O2 gases will give H2O liquid in ambient conditions which takes up many times less volume than the gases did. Simple everyday chemistry. No mystery, no unexplainable phenomenon occuring here... just known science at work. As for Kleins welder, there is no discovery and no mystery here either. He's using an electrolyser to produce 2H2 and O2, which is common ducted and then ignited as it emerges from the blow torch. Simply common duct 2H2 and O2, nothing more, as used by all manner of hydroboosters! How he can claim this to be his own invention and apply for patents is quite beyond me.
