WallPlates Vs Tubes

wallplates vs tubes

 

Every one planning to build HHO cell by himself wonders what design is batter: tubes or plates.
The time has come to compare what is better: Tubes or plates.


The criterions:
1) Working area - Which one is bigger?
2) Time to prepare - What is faster?
3) Current - Which one can take more current without going to dangerous temperature area?
4) Cost - Which one is chipper?

Consider one wallplate work area from my free design:

Number of working sets: 10

Work area of one set: 8112 mm2

Total work area: 81120 mm2

Number of working tubes: 18 couples.

Work area of one set: 4020 mm2 .

Total work area: 72360 mm2

The true benefit of this design is the efficiency increase due to voltage spread on more working couples. The result: less energy converts to heat.

From the moment of material receive: About 5 Hours including cutting ssl stripes, pvc walls and drilling wallplates.

From the moment of material receive: About 10 Hours including plastic pattern accurate drilling, filter drilling, complex electrical connection of the tubes.

Can reach easily up to 19 AMP in safe 60 degrees C.

Can reach up to 30 AMP without passing the 60 Degrees C.

Relatively low cost: wallpaltes can be bought for 2.5$ each on amazon, Rest of the part are cheap too.  

Relatively high cost: custom made tubes make the cost to rise.

If it’s your first HHO cell go for plates / wallplates. It’s cheap and easy to build, the results are good and fuel economy increase is significant.

EFIE is the best but Oxygen sensor spacer can also do the job for many cars.

Recommended only for experienced HHO consumers. Must be used with HHO EFIE or results will fail.
