I´m from Germany, sorry about my english.
It is my 1st Test. I built it in a few hours. I don´t have any good machines to built professionell. I have a watertank from a lawn mower. I don´t take vinegar. I use Lemon-concentrat 20% extrakt. I need only 0,01G/0,23G( In germany 50ccm/l). 13.2V / 18-25A. But I have a little Problem. After 2-3hours the amps rised down to 7-10A. I think that the lemonextrakt lost its power. I´m testing. But I like it better than baking soda or NOH. I´m surprice about my very cheap design and this very good result. Now I´m building an othen design, because my 1st one is to big for modern cars. there is no space in the engineroom Smiling. In a few day I post some pictures.

Electrolyzer Problems: 

Sometime the water is getting very warm, 60C/140F. I had this prob 1 day before I had a big trip over 700km/430m. So I build very quick a cooler in the front of my car. It works great. Now I´m runnig at 40C/100F. That good.

This is my great special cooler. Next time I take a oil-coole from a bike. Its crasy, but many people ask me about this:-)
This is my watertank. I found it in the garbage from a workshop. I don´t need any pump.
This is my electolyser. Its yery big, but I don´t found on the Scrap iron place a little one. Its a 304SS tube
Here is my inputplace. I´m going in the air-filter. But I will change it behind the filter, I think its better

Welkommen

I am from the U.S. so mein Duetche sprechen is worse than your English! Ich habt zwei yahre in der schule (?) MANY years ago so I may have used all I remember. I am still building my first unit and have to make adjustments under the hood of my Jeep to make it fit. But right now my budget is used up on getting my exhaust manifold replaced.

Welcome, Stefanuss1. I think

Welcome, Stefanuss1. I think the use of Lemon Juice concentrate (Citric Acid) as an electrolyte is very interesting. I've seen some reports that seem to indicate using citric acid as an electrolyte may have some value in reducing reaction overpotential. This might allow the electrolysis of water to take place at somewhat lower current densities. Anyway, it's certainly worth looking into. Thanks for your contribution. I look forward to any updates.

Thank

Hi Nick and DJ. Thanks for your greetings. I forgot to say that I´m using destilled water. I like it better, because the system doesn´t get so dirty. Yesterday I found a nice man hwo helps me to biold my next electrolyser. Its very compact, so its easyer to use it in modern cars. I hope it works Smiling.

I show you the result.......
