Here's a link to a guy who also claims to have his truck running on 100% hydroxy too: http://pesn.com/2010/11/11/9501723_Mr2tuff_Replica_of_Freddys_100-percent_HHOi/The above is the caption text from the video link Freddy Wells gave Captain Willy to pass on to the Future Energy Concepts Yahoo e-group dedicate to replicating his device that claims 100% HHOi operation of a Dodge Truck. While there are definite differences between the two devices there are many striking similarities.
This replication uses 12 plate pairs whereas Freddy's uses 10 pairs of tubes. Both however claim to be using 12V at ~255 amps at ~60PSI for input to the system. While this latest video doesn't show a road test, nor definitive proof that the device is actually the fuel source for the truck, it at least counts as a replication claim of sorts and a 2nd witness to the working of the technology.
Mr2tuff's Youtube channel shows more detail of the cell's construction. It is an open bath type plate system of 12 pairs of electrodes 3" x 6". In a new take on the pop bottle output test, Mr2tuff, places his bubbler in backwards and the device expels the water in it; which seems to be a cool way to measure output but may only work for these 50+PSI devices.
It is well known that quality HHO or Hydroxy is supposed to self ignite at 15PSI, so there can be little doubt that the gases being put out by the Fast Freddy device and this one are not pure Hydroxy or HHO. However, they do appear to run internal combustion engines quite well on this HHOi. In recent posts Fast Freddy has acknowledged that there is anode sacrificing going on, but says that tubes should last for a couple 100,000 miles.
This fact has yet to be demonstrated. So, these type cells seem to run on HHOi and tube/plate material; which is different from HHO or Hydroxy where voltage and amperage are limited to avoid deterioration of the stainless steel plates or tubes. It is not know if the plate material adds anything to the process or is just a casualty of it.
If Mr2tuff can run a 20KW generator for a year or more on 12 3"x6" plates and distilled water using NaOH as a catalyst the cost of operation will only be a few hundred dollars for plate replacement. This makes the most pressing question about this design the rate of plate/tube deterioration.
Fast Freddy is now saying that the tube coils in his #6 version may be unnecessary and that an additional mystery ingredient in the electrolyte is playing a key role. The mystery ingredient is due to be released in the e-book of plans scheduled to be released to the public for $100 upon completion.
At the start the author states: While there are definite differences between the two devices there are many striking similarities.
But much to my amusement then goes on to highlight considerable differences. 1. Freddy's using 10 tubes, this guy is using 12 plates. 2. Freddy claims he's drawing 55 amps, this guy is drawing 255 amps! (even though the author states both are claiming to be drawing 255 amps) If Mr2tuff can run a 20KW generator for a year or more on 12 3"x6" plates and distilled water using NaOH as a catalyst the cost of operation will only be a few hundred dollars for plate replacement. This makes the most pressing question about this design the rate of plate/tube deterioration.
Wow, a 20KW generator! For a year... OR MORE! ... on just distilled water and Sodium Hydroxide! But this is a key paragragh: Fast Freddy is now saying that the tube coils in his #6 version may be unnecessary and that an additional mystery ingredient in the electrolyte is playing a key role. The mystery ingredient is due to be released in the e-book of plans scheduled to be released to the public for $100 upon completion.
What tube coils? When as there ever been mention of any tube coils... whatever they are? And A MYSTERY INGREDIENT! What mystery ingredient... when has there ever been mention of a mystery ingredient? Could it be something Ma Wells has scraped of the inside of the stove... or perhaps it's Freddy's 100% moonshine? Oh, I see. Finally the clincher. We have to buy his e-book of plans to be released to the public for just...$100. Therein lies the mystery ingredient. I wonder what happened to open-sourcing everything? I guess donations from the Fantastic Freddy Appreciation Society must be drying up... or he's getting greedy. God Bless you Freddy! :
