After many hours in the heat I have built my hydrogen fuel cell. It is made from 1/4 inch plexi-glass cut on my table saw. I decided to go this way for my project instead of using 4 inch PVC like many are doing. I will most likely mount it in the trunk and run the connections from there.
I am in the testing stage of my Hydrogen fuel cell. I am pretty happy with it right now. It is a five cell separated by Plexiglas dividers and is designed after one I bought plans for. I made some changes to it that I thought would be good and so far it is working like a dream. Doesn’t get hot after running over six hours straight. It is drawing about 8 amps cold and 10 amps after it runs for an hour or so. I conditioned the plates by varying the amps starting at five and increased by five amps every day until I was up to 25 amps. Puts out a very good stream of hydrogen and should help my 3.0 liter very well.

Below is a look at my homemade hydrogen cell running. It is from my cell phone and is a little crappy.
My bubbler is just an empty peanut butter jar. If somehow a backfire or spark sets off the hydrogen the jar lid will pop off and stop further damage. Works well as I tested it by lighting off my hydrogen stream. It went BOOM! Couldn’t hear a darn thing the rest of the day.
And here are two more videos if you want to look at them.
I have built a MAP/MAF sensor enhancer and will install it along with my cell when ready. Right at this time I am building a PWM for driving the cell.
I also have the parts and board to build my Efie (Electronic Fuel Injection Enhancer). Then comes the install and testing in the vehicle.

Okay now I finally have my PWM (Power Width Modulator) built and I have it running on the cell. So far it has ran for 96 hours and I should be done testing soon. Will update as I test it some more. It is using about 1 quart of water in 24 hours. That is good IMHO.
I figure it like this, if you drive for 24 hours at 65-70 mile per hour then you would have traveled 1560-1680 miles. That is moving on!

Pictures of my cell coming soon.
