The above pictures are of a new Do It Yourself ( DIY) Acrylic Dry Cell from Advanced HHO. This is definitely for the Do it Yourselfer. It would seem to me that the type of person who would benefit from this kit is someone who already has a working knowledge of HHO and the elements of what constitutes a working HHO System. By a working system, I mean things like the wiring from the ignition switch to the battery to the Cell, the hoses needed from the Cell to the engine, the reservoir for the electrolyte, the electrolyte itself, and safety elements like a bubbler and a one-way high pressure valve. Also not to forget the EFIE if the car is a fuel-injected later model.

The use of Acrylic Materials is an interesting factor. From the start when I started writing about Water Hybrids,  the older Water For Gas System used 316L Stainless Steel for the wiring inside the Quart Fruit jars then migrated to the Dry Cells but the higher grade stainless was continued to be stressed because they lasted longer in the system.

Going to Acrylics was an interesting move as well as, I think, a wise move. By using that type of material for the basis of the Dry Cell not only would the initial cost of the cell be reduced,  but also the working life of the Dry Cell probably would be extended beyond that of the cell made with 316L Stainless Steel. With acrylics there would not be the concern from repeated electrolysis and what could be the interaction between the electrolyte and the cell walls overtime. In the past, Brown colored sludge was noted as a build up from the action of electrolysis, electrolyte and a lesser grade of stainless steel like the more common 304 stainless steel. Switching to the higher grade of 316L partially solved that but long term use of the cell could still lead to a breakdown of the metal. It will be interesting to see how long Acrylic will last and what the breakdown if any will be.

As to cost, always a prime factor, the Cell in the picture on the left is selling for  $189.00 whereas adding the electrolyte reservoir as show in the picture to the right will cost you $228.00. Compare that with one of the classy stand alone Cells offered by AdvanceHHO DC45001-1

This Cell is offered as a stand alone for $238.00. The company says that this one is A Rock Solid Dry Cell Work Horse for HHO Production. Frankly if I were going to invest my money in a Water Hybrid System  ( I use the old Water For Gas standby, a Quart Fruit Jar) I would opt for a system and not a stand alone hydrogen generator. I would look at the DC450( a 6-8 cylinder one)  or the Water For Gas Basic Starter System ( for 4 cylinders) also sold on the Advanced HHO website. To me, any system is more economic than “a-ala-carte” purchasing of needed parts to try and make the system work. Are you with me on that?

In summary, an Acrylic DIY Dry Cell is an interesting move in dry cell construction. From the standpoint of cell longevity it is probably a wise move but you will still need to purchase all the extras to achieve your goals of saving money, adding miles per gallon and doing something good for the environment. Investing in a Water Hybrid System is a good move and the sooner the better given the costs of gasoline.  I am going to end this article with a picture of an advertisement for another HHO company. I really liked the ad see if you don’t as well.

You will only feel like a hostage as long as you are debating the purchase of a Water Hybrid System. If there were not good alternatives to this hostage situation then you would have to suffer but the alternatives are here. It is up to you to make your move and free yourself from the bad energy cycle. Don’t put that important decision off for another day.
