There Are Some Terminal Differences Between SmacksBooster and Water4Gas

Hello Again.

I have been off the web since the 11th of June with the flu then an infection of my sinuses. Sorry for the long absence but I am feeling better and have begun working on the terminals for my electrolysis unit. As you know I have purchased the manuals from Water4Gas.com and have been faithfully reading them online and printing those sections that I needed for my workshop. While cutting out the terminals, four pieces of 1/4 inch Plexiglas I was thinking just how easy it is to make this hydrogen generator. My terminals will be 2 pairs of 1/4 inch Plexiglas glued together and wrapped with NiTi wire for the anode or positive terminal and the cathode or negative terminal composed of the same Plexiglas but wrapped with a stainless steel locking wire used on sail boats to prevent corrosion. The different types of wire are purely to prevent the anode terminal (which gets the electricity) from corroding so fast once the distilled water and catalyst are bathing the terminals. The NiTi wire is as good as 316L stainless so I have been told. We will certainly see.

That leads me to say that I do really like the Smacksbooster design but the terminal setup with that design is and can be a real bear to set-up. For example, Smack suggests that you dimple each of the stainless steel switch plates on one side with 245 taps of a hammer to provide more attaching space for the hydrogen atoms during the electrolysis of the water and catalyst. There isn’t very much room to work with on the terminals given that the diameter of the usual smacksbooster is approximately four inches wide. I notice on Smacks parts list that I wrote about several weeks ago that he now is using a Cast Acrylic Container tube in place of the 4 inch PVC pipe. This container gives you about 4.5 inches to work with while setting up your terminals. Even a half inch additional is helpful when you are working with close tolerances.

The real difference between my fruit jar electrolysis unit and Smacks is that his will make around 3 Liters per minute of hydrogen and oxygen for as long as it has the water and catalyst available whereas my Water4Gas electrolysis unit will probably give me about 1Liter per minute if I can find the room under the hood to place it there. The longer I am involved with this the less sure I am that I want to place the hydrogen generator under the hood. The idea of having a hydrogen generator bubbling away where I cannot readily see it while I am driving makes me a little anxious. I like the idea of using what is called the charged gas system from Water4Gas. It is easier to build, uses only the inert hydrogen and oxygen gas already in a container ( with no catalyst) and being fed into the intake air manifold to give me the extra miles per gallon. Well this is my choice and I will continue on this course. Stay with me while I tussle with the terminals. I want to take some pictures of my progress and will post them the next time.

By the way, I have a free ebook that I was selling but have decided to give it away. I feel the same way as Smack and Ozzie Freedom from Water4Gas.  It is more important to pass on as much as possible so that everyone interested in Water for Gas technology should have access to the same information that we do.   So, anyone interested in this free ebook should write me at jimclay1153@gmail.com and I will send it to you.

All the best, Jim
