Introduction:
In this Instructable I will show you how to make a simple, cheap and effective HHO torch that can melt small pieces of metals like tin cans. This can be used in various applications it can be connected into your fire torch or in your car which is also known as the HHO Hybrid Generator which can reduce your fuel consumption although I don’t have a car I am still a 12 years old boy.
Definition:
A lot of people are asking what and how does a HHO Torch/Generator works. It is simple a HHO torch/Generator separates water molecules into gas, now you will have a mixture of Oxygen and Hydrogen gas which can give a powerful kick or flame.
Use:
- You can connect this in a fire torch pin which I will show you how to make.
- You can use this for your car to reduce fuel consumption. But this will not be mentioned for this Instructable, it would be better of you Google it.
- You can use this to weld o melt thin metals
Warning: It is not my responsibility if any of you gets injured or burned so don't blame me for your mistake. Luckily I made some safety features which are already tested and prevents some common problems with HHO converter like explosions and implosions which creates cracks or even explosions. Hydrogen are highly explosive especially of you mix it with Oxygen. Batteries not included.
Be sure to rate this a 5 star. This instructions are very rare and hard to find.

Compared to a normal torch how would the flame be, in terms of heat and gas flow?
The "fuel consumption" stuff is a scam, but you won't have taken enough science courses yet to know that. This is a good opportunity to learn how to think about things quantitatively.
First, the energy density of hydrogen less than 1% that of gasoline, so even if you carried a tank of hydrogen and injected it into your engine, it wouldn't make any noticeable difference. You'll get better fuel economy by paying attention to starting and stopping, than by "magical" devices.
Second, suppose that you used the car's engine (battery or alternator) to run the HHO generator. The power that is being diverted to the HHO generator is not being used to move the car, so that corresponds to a drop in fuel economy. The process of electrolysis isn't 100% efficient (it can't be), some of the power that goes to the generator turns into waste heat, for example. So when you burn the hydrogen, you won't get back all of the energy you used to create it in the first place. You certainly can't get more, but in reality you won't even break even. That's another drop in fuel economy.

this is a link that will explain why hydrogen additive works
here is a quote from it too
The hydrogen explosion is so fast that it fills the combustion cylinder at least 3 times faster then the gasoline explosion and subsequent ignites the gasoline from all directions (it is like putting flue on a fire), instead of just a spark in one end of the combustion cylinder, and we would like to do that because the gasoline only has a short time in the combustion cylinder and if its not fully burnt in that short amount of time then it just goes out the exhaust and is lost.It is also preferable to ignite all of the gasoline when it is under maximum compression in combustion cylinder to get the maximum amount of energy out of it (this is a small time window),whonce the piston starts going down the energy transfer from the explosion to the engine becomes less efficient.
The hydrogen´s higher burn temperature and explosive force is such that it cleans the soot that collects in the engine (it is like having the engine consistent maintains) and with a cleaner engine you get better mileage and fewer oil changes .
nice torch
I'll have to see if I can find it again but there was a news article about a guy doing this sort of thing and the water level apparently got down to expose some metal and a spark made the container explode. He lived but the shrapnel blinded him.
Murphy's law and engineering go hand in hand. It isn't a matter of if something will happen but rather when something will happen. You're obviously smart enough to build a working model now take a step back and look at a worst case failure scenario and adjust your design to negate it. If the HHO internal to the system was to explode would you rather it be in the small volume bubble jar where you'll get a good scare, or would you rather it be in the gas generator where there is a large gas volume that can result in serious injury or death?
It's simple to fix, put your cathode and anode in separate airtight containers connected by a water filled tube.
If you're using containers with firm seals then it's also prudent to make a large hole in the lid and put duct tape over it. It still keeps the gas in but in the event of an explosion it acts as an explosive vent to release the pressure and prevent failure of the container. i.e. the force gets directed up through the hole rather than parts of the container going outwards at significant velocities.
If you are intent on making this at least use a bubbler
I made something like this in the past it worked very affectively.
that wire looks like it must get hot? it looks very puny i would sugest upgradeing it to 12 'AWG' as the resistance will go down and thus make it more efficiant.
also what electrolyte did you use to catalyst the formation of hho.
