How To Build A Hydrogen Booster
This post will teach you how you can build your hydrogen booster. Please note that this is only for building the hydrocell, which will produce the necessary HHO to mix with your fuel, decreasing your fuel consumption immensely. We’ll cover exactly how to hook up this HHO producer in another post. This one is just for building the hydrogen booster. Before we get started, you’ll need a variety of materials.
1) A plastic container that will hold the water, and where the reactions will take place. Make sure you have a lid to attach to it.
2) A couple of steel meshes. These will be your plates for sending the charge through the water.
3) 2 roll nuts for attaching to the ends of the tub. These will connect to the car battery to send the charge through the entire system.
4) A drill for drilling small holes into plastic
5) A tube to attach to the top of the tub, for releasing the gas.
6) Rubber tubing.
7) Zip ties to hold the metal plates together
8)Sodium Hydroxide to be your electrolyte with your water
9)Distilled water
10) A small knife for precision cuts
11) A small package of sealant, just in case.
12) rubber gloves, for touching car battery wires, and your sodium hydroxide
Ok. Let’s get started. Take your two steel meshes, and fold them in half, almost as you would a piece of paper. They should now be oval shaped, with a break in the oval where the ends of the steel mesh were. Interconnect your 2 steel plates, so that you have 4 layers of steel, alternating between each bar ( steel mesh 1-steel mesh 2-steel mesh 1-steel mesh 2 ).
Cut your rubber tubing into appropriate length for this: attach the rubber tubes to the ends of the steel meshes. You’re going to have to cut a small insecion down each tube. After that, add any more tubing so that the 2 steel meshes do not touch. This is imprerrative that they do not touch. The charge has to jump through the water, and not through the steel meshes. Hold the tubing to the steel mesh by using zip locks.
Drill 2 holes on either side of the tub, and attach roll nuts to either side. The roll nuts should have a metal protrusion into the tub. Optionally at this point, your could drill the hole into the lid, and attach the tubing there as well. If you make holes that are too big, feel free to use the seallant.
Now, carefully lower your contraption of steel, rubber, and zip locks into the tub. They should rest on both of the metal protrusions quite nicely. The charge is going to run through one metal plate, and jump to the other to run out. Fill the tub up with distilled water, and your sodium hydroxide. Connect up your car battery to either ends of the rull nuts. Everything should be ready to go now!
Turn on the car battery, and you should see your tub of water and electrolyte start to produce some white, flamable smoke. That is HHO, and it should rise, flowing through the tube on the lid when the time comes.
That’s all there is too it to build a Hydrogen Booster. The materials should cost you less than $100, and many mechanics know how to build one as well, so if you’re having trouble, contact your local mechanic.

How To Build A Homemade Wind Turbine
You can build your own wind turbine, with no specialized parts involved. All of the materials required to build a wind turbine: a generator, metal blades, a current regulator, various metal gears and plates; all of these items could be used to build something else. They come in all kinds of sizes, and are easy to install into any property, and circuitry. Here’s a small list of sites that can give you more information on how to build your own wind turbine.

Small Wind Turbine
In many cases, if you live in an urban, or suburban environment, owning a full scale wind turbine is impossible, because of building regulations, and the exclusivity of space. However, there are such things as small wind turbines, which are acceptable in almost every building regulations, and restrictions. These kinds of small win turbines can still generate the majority of the power used in one home, and can last for decades without breaking. They come in many shapes and size, to help fit into your lifestyle.
The wind turbines almost always turn a net gain, economically speaking. Meaning that they’ll always make back the money you put into them with the power they generate for you. Of course, this is dependent on the amount of wind your area receives, but on average, wind turbines can create enough power that you’re energy bill can be practically nothing. In these tough economic times, it’s time to start spending smart. Losing your electric bill is one very good way to start spending smart.
