Video of a Yamaha 1700 Roadstar dyno test with hydrogen fuel

This is the pvc canister and its array of stainless steel plates with attached terminals for positive and negative battery hook up. The canister is filled with distilled water (less impurities then tap water) and the array is dropped into it and then capped. Stainless will not corrode and crumble like copper would. The plates sit close to each other but do not touch. They can be insulated by nylon bolts and washers or plastic dip. In the water we add potassium carbonate or baking soda, electrolytes to promote current flow.

We control the amps and amount of hydrogen gas produced by the amount of electrolyte added to the water. Drawing too many amps drains our battery. We also found that the relay has too be large enough to handle the draw. A switch and relay were used to activate the hydrogen cell as desired. When battery voltage is applied to the cell, hydrogen and oxygen are produced. Gas bubbles are created between the plates and as they are lighter then the water will push upwards out thru a tube which is routed to the throat of the carburetor on the motorcycle. A flashback arrestor and check valve are incorporated in case of a backfire. This is the fabrication of one of our customers, Clyde Dyer. Our dyno testing showed very minute power increases. The real test will be fuel consumption.                                                                               Return to Home page
