Safety rules:

1. Everything in your cell should be made from stainless and should not short out.

2. Cell should be made of a proper material able to withstand abuse.

3. A bubbler between the cell and engine should be installed along with a one-way valve in order to eliminate the possibility of an explosion going all the way to the cell.

4. Your cell should have a pressure release valve built in.

5. Your electrical system needs a fuse, relay, on/off switch, 12 volt ignition source, EFIE (electronic fuel injection enhancer/goes to oxygen and other sensors to trick the engine's computer, PWM (pulse width modulator)controls amount of electricity going to the cell, and amp/volt meter.

6. Properly dispose of the chemicals which form in the cell. The cell can produce lethal gases depending on electrolyte don't breathe them.

Recently I tested a Joe cell type electrolysis machine on my Jeep. From what I've since learned I am lucky I didn't blow up. Beyond that there is no way my setup would've worked on a computer controlled vehicle. Live and learn. Here is what I know so far.

There are three different types of cells. 1. Wet cell-This is the most common type. Basically stainless steel is given a + and - charge then submerged in water mixed with an electrolyte to control the liquids electrical resistance level. A "Joe" cell is a type of wet cell that uses tubes instead of wire or bolts. The system on the Dodge is a Stanley Meyer wet cell design.

2.The second type is called a dry cell. It uses stainless steel plates separated with a rubber gasket. The plates are +, - ,and neutral. Only small amounts of water go into the cell the rest is held in a reserve tank.  The picture of this setup has the box like cell. It belongs to Mike Shaheen of hhoconnection.com for other dry cells check out:

3. The third type is called an Ausi style. I think its from Australia. Alberto Aschidamini from Hydrogen Solutions on Demand demonstrated his setup on his motor home. He is pictured with his son. This cell brings in small amounts of nitrogen (found in the air) through the electrically charged tube. HHO gas comes out. I don't understand how it works. I don't really understand exactly how any of this works but its fun to experiment.

Still the best one I've seen is

autogreenpower.com

It boils water in the muffler then sends the steam straight into the engine. You get a hydrogen pop plus waste heat energy.
