Ecocell2 Instructions: How to install your hydrogen generator or booster

You will need various things to complete your install:

· Basic hand tools

· Maybe some extra wire

· About 3-4 feet of 3/8 tubing

· Zip ties

· Possibly some bungee cords

Your package should have contained:

· One Hydrogen Generator (also called an electrolyzer)

· One fuse holder

· 2 wires, one black and one red

Mount the HHO EcoCell 2 hydrogen device in the engine compartment. It should be mounted flat and level, and secured is such a manner as to assure that it cannot bounce around when the vehicle hits bumps etc. Position the device so that it can easily be accessed and can be conveniently removed and filled with water, or cleaned, serviced or inspected.

IMPORTANT: INSTALL THE DEVICE AWAY FROM HOT AREAS as much as possible. If you’re not sure where that is, Harbor Freight Tools has a digital non-contact thermometer for under $7 (item 93983-2VGA). Use this tool to locate the coolest available place in the engine area.

I cannot give you an exact number here for what is “too hot”, because there is a combination of heating factors here: weather, engine, and the electrolysis process itself. All I can tell you that in two cases the Electrolyzer mostly melted and only the glass survived. In both cases this occurred as a result of (1) too much heat radiated by the engine through the air to the Electrolyzer, and (2) too much electrolyte. There is a situation called Thermal Runaway, where an increase in temperature changes the conditions (in this case the rise in electrical current) that causes a further increase in temperature – leading to a destructive result.

You can prevent this from happening by:

1. Use ONLY DISTILLED WATER. Filtered water is NOT distilled water!

2. Starting with no more than ONE HALF teaspoon of baking soda, and add gradually only when you’re sure no excess heat is being generated. In your EcoCell 2 you should never need more than a ONE teaspoon. It will overheat your unit if you use too much.

3. Install away from heat. If this is not possible block the engine heat as much as possible by placing a heat shield (bubble wrap covered by aluminum foil) between the Electrolyzer and the engine. Leave at least 1-2” air space around the Electrolyzer.

A mounting bracket can be easily fashioned from copper and/or galvanized plumber’s strap. (Not supplied.) In other cases a small rubber pad (not supplied and usually not necessary) and/or two bungee cords (supplied) may be adequate.

Rarely there may be vehicles that do not have enough space in the engine compartment to mount the device. A possible solution is to use the area in front of the radiator. Fasten the device to the car’s frame or anything other than the radiator, belts or moving parts, and make sure that it does not touch the radiator.

That’s it for the mechanical installation and location. Now let’s move for connections and supply lines. The HHO device is operated by vacuum pressure from your vehicle’s engine, plus 12 Volt supply from your vehicle’s electrical system.

Where to hook the generator to your engine

Most people will be installing this device in a fuel injected car. It is assumed that you have already studied a little bit about this kind of device and are somewhat mechanically inclined.

On fuel injected cars you will want to run line from the EcoCell hydrogen generator to a connection fitting somewhere in the air intake tubing. You will need to get a 3/8 fitting from a home repair store and drill a hole for threaded plastic or brass fitting. This is where you will make your connection for your hydrogen. It is best to locate this fitting as close to the throttle body as possible for best results.

You may have to play around to find the best location for your connection to get the best results.

Make sure when you are routing your 3/8 tubing to your intake that you avoid extremely hot areas that could melt the tubing.

As a Safety precaution you should install a one way check valve between your hydrogen generator and your intake connection so that hydrogen can only flow one way.

It is also a good idea to install a “bubbler” for safety and as a visual aid to see your system working. Bubblers are easy to make and beyond the scope of this instruction set. If you google “hydrogen bubbler” you will find easy to make ideas for building your bubbler. A bubbler can prevent a flashback explosion if you should even have a backfire into your intake. Easy, cheap and safe!

See our online videos to get an idea of how to mount to mount your hydrogen generator and see how a bubbler works.

On cars with carburetors, it is best to hook up to a vacuum line going into the carb.

How to wire it up!

The device is designed to operate on 12 Volts. Refer to the wiring diagram below. If you’re not sure consult your auto mechanic (electric) for help.

1. Connect the one terminal of the device to the negative terminal of the vehicle’s battery, using the wire WITHOUT FUSE (black wire). If the battery is too far, connect it to the firewall or extend the wire all the way to the battery.

2. Identify a point in your vehicle’s electrical system which has a 12 Volts (positive) present ONLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS ON (Position 2 of the Ignition Switch), such as the starter solenoid, window wiper motor, or similar circuit.

3. Turn the switch off and take out the key. Connect positive (12 Volts) to the other terminal of the device, using the FUSED wire supplied (red), to the point you’ve identified above.

4. To protect the wiring from long term damage, you can now put the newly installed wires into what’s called “split flex tubing”, see photo. You can find it in all major hardware stores such as Ace, Home depot. Don’t buy it online ($5 +S&H) because in the shop it’s only 99 cents for 10 ft.

5. It does NOT matter which side gets positive or negative! They are able to be swapped. In fact you should swap the connection points every time you replace your water mix.

6. You will want to use about a 15 amp fuse. If your 15 amp fuse blows then you have used too much baking soda… use a little less and replace the fuse.

NOTES:

· In most newer vehicles the fuses are located in a box, in the engine compartment. I just plug the wire into the fuse holder and reinsert the fuse. Usually it is a 10 Amp or 15 Amp ignition circuit, that I use. In some older cars where there was no fuse box to connect to, the wiper motor was found most useful as a supply point. I just splice into the SWITCHED 12 Volts and it works well.

· In some cars the electrical system may be in reverse (RED wire to the body of the car, or to the battery itself). If it gets confusing, consult an auto electrician who is familiar with your specific model.

Filling up and getting it going

· When you refill your hydrogen cell/s you need ONE HALF TEASPOON of PURE baking soda and DISTILLED WATER ONLY. Never exceed one teaspoon in the EcoCell in order to prevent overheating. The only exception is if you are running multiple cells but that is beyond the scope of these instructions. You may also add a capful or two of pure white vinegar to help keep the water cleaner. Check your water level a couple of times a week!

· >WEEK 1) After 7 days dump out the water mix and rinse out the sludge with distilled water then refill with the prescribed mix above.

· >WEEK 3) Dump out the water mix and refill with prescribed mix above.

· From here on out you can basically just check your water levels a couple of times a week to make sure you have about an INCH and a HALF of free air space at the top of your hydrogen cells. If it is low then just top it up with plain DISTILLED WATER.

· >>Once a month you should dump and replace your water mix and put in fresh mix as prescribed above. When you refill it is a good idea to SWAP the positive and negative hook up wires to the opposite side. This will help your plates wear evenly and help them last longer.

This simple maintenance will keep your hydrogen system performing its best!

*TIP Try to avoid gas that has “10% ethanol” as your mileage will suffer. When possible stick with real, non-ethanol enhanced gas

For the first few days or weeks you may see some excess sludge in your water. Don’t worry! This sludge lessens as your cells are conditioned. No matter how nasty the water may look… relax it is just fine. Even after the cells are conditioned you will still see gunk in the water. It is ok and totally normal.

You will also see rust on the plates and other parts inside… that is part of the production of hydrogen and oxygen and is also normal.

Over the past few months I have been shocked at the things I have seen in the world of gasoline. You see shows on TV talking about the possible gasoline shortages. They show long line at the gas stations and folk riding around trying to find gas. Gas stations close due to not having any product to sell. The stations that do have gas have to limit supply so that everyone can get some… Think about that… what would you do??

Gas shortages gripped the southeast as gas dried up !

You think: “yeah but Jason that could never happen here! This is America!”

I thought the same thing when watching some of these shows that came on TV. I thought that could never happen. I always thought they were being a little extreme… Then the 2008 hurricane season hit.

The 2008 hurricane season led to a historic fuel outage in parts of the southeast USA. I had been burried in small engine hydrogen research and not really paying attention. Gas had hit just under $4 a gallon and I had been riding my hydrogen hybrid test motorcycle.

One day I get on my bike and stop in to get gas and the pumps all have bags on them. The store was even closed… On to the next place… same deal! No Gas! Over the next two and a half weeks I took picture after picture of gas stations with no gas at all. Some stations had only regular and no premium. Some stations only had premium. Gas has hit over $4 dollar a gallon and the state stepped in to protect consumers here in South Carolina.

Can you imagine riding up to a gas pump and seeing a sign that says “temporarily out of this product?”

What would you do if your local gas station ran out of gas?

That day I decided that this hydrogen fuel saving technolgy must be spread to as much of the population as possible. I was truly thankful to have a car that was getting a 45% increase in mileage during a time of a true fuel shortage. My phone was rining off the hook and I was trying to help as many folks as possible conserve every bit of fuel they can.

Now that there is a temporary dip in gas prices the phone has calmed down a bit. I look back at this historic fuel shortage in the southeastern US and can’t help but to think … where will the next fuel shortage hit? Gas prices hit $4.19 a gallon and people were lined up for blocks.

Are your friends and family prepared for the next time prices climb through the roof?

Since I can’t help everyone, I have decided to release a video series on CD that will teach you how to build every device we sell and install to our clients and friends. Come sit down with me at my workbench as I build our hydrogen generator, map sensor enhancer and even our popular Simple O2 voltage adding device! I show you step by step how to build and install each of these devices from materials you can find at local home repair stores and radio shack.

Another empty gas station with no gas!

I just want this technology out there in as many hands as possible. So come get a copy of my CD called “Hydrogen Revolution v2.0” and start building your own hydrogen cells and EFIE type devices easily at home. I even give you permission to build our devices for profit. Build these systems for your friends and family and keep all of the profit for yourself!
