Water for Gas System – Creating the Reaction Chamber

The reaction chamber is a cylinder shaped component made from PVC pipe. This is where the water is going to turn into hydrogen and oxygen. You are going to need a small section of four inch PVC pipe that has a screw cap fitting to put on one end and the regular cap for the other end. You are going to put the electrodes into the threaded end and fill the chamber three quarters of the way with water. You want the electrodes from the control circuit to be able to touch the water, but you do not want the chamber to be so submerged with water that it will not enable the water to turn into hydrogen. In order for the water to convert from a liquid to a gas, it will need the jolt of power that it will receive from the electrodes.

The electrodes are the wires that are surrounded with steel. They have to have enough of gap between them and should be held apart by a steel coil. The electrodes are what is going to charge up the water and allow it to turn into hydrogen.

It is important that the wires that you use inside the chamber should be stainless steel and have a protective coating. The wires that are used outside of the unit should be insulated. You can use a rubber insulation on the outside wires as long as they are water proof. The bottom part of the cylinder should be sealed with epoxy. Make sure you use a good epoxy agent to seal the works. The epoxy sealant that you use is going to have to be able to hold the pressure of the reaction chamber which will be turning water into hydrogen when the car is turned on the and the control circuit kicks into gear. The most important aspect when you are building the reaction chamber is that you do not have any leakage at all.

The wires that lead to the control circuit (the electrodes) should be soldered at the junctions and make sure that there is a water proof substance that holds over everything. You are going to want to get an epoxy that will hold metal to plastic as you are going to use a plastic tank that will hold the reaction chamber.

There will also be wires that lead to the engine though the throttle and the carburettor. These will allow the hydrogen to work so that it becomes a fuel for the engine. All of the wires should be insulated so that they are not damaged by water or sparks. You should test each wire separately before you use it and make sure that they are insulated in rubber.

Before you epoxy the reaction chamber in this part of the project, you should make sure that the chamber level is tested by the sensor. In other words, it should reach the amount of voltage that you need in order to turn the water in the chamber into gas. This can be done by attaching the wires to the circuit and also putting the gauge on the top of the reaction chamber. You will want to make sure that you have enough temperature and pressure to vaporize the water and turn it into hydrogen. Test it with the gauge so that you can make sure that it is working properly before you seal the works with a sealant epoxy.

When getting an epoxy for the sealant, get one that will be a soft silicone sealant that can hold the pressure but still let the electrodes be inspected once in a while. You will want to have a stainless steel coil that attaches the two electrodes that run into the reaction chamber soldered onto the wires.

The reaction chamber’s purpose is to get the water, ordinary tap water, to use the power of electricity so that it can turn into hydrogen and be used as a power to allow the car to move. After you have built the reaction chamber and the control circuits and installed the gauges, you are then ready to install the tank into the car.
