5. Implementing the deviceNow we're excited, we got our project built and ready to make it work on our car.*The reaction chamber is tied into a safe location, not against any moving or hot parts. The waterlock assembly is filled halfway with water and has been checked for gas leaks with soapy water. Tubing has been run between reation chamber to the water lock, from the water lock to the air cleaner housing. Now it time to take your car outside if it isn't already. Put your safety goggles and rubber gloves on at this point. Fill the reaction chamber with 1 to 2 quarts of water (depending on how big you built it, never fill more than halfway) For my tests I used 10 tablespoonfuls (heaping) of drano to 1 quart of water. This mixture dissolved a pop can in less than an hour, and clean aluminum would dissolve even quicker. Most cans have paint or coatings that turn into gunk that floats around and slows down the process. Unpainted aluminum is best. Once I mixed the draino with the water, I let it settle down after the initial mixup, 5 to 10 minutes. Then whatever aluminum you have can be added, be careful to not splash, I mounted my reaction chamber at a slight slant so when adding aluminum it would just slide in and not splash. After adding aluminum you will start to see it bubble and hiss, this is the hydrogen being generated. Screw the end cap into the chamber (the threads should be coated with petroleum jelly to seal) Hydrogen should start to push out of the reaction chamber and into the water lock, from the water lock into the air cleaner. You should be ready to go for your drive at this point. |
