Some good tech info for DD and builders.
What is best Plate Material for HHO Generator ?
The material that endures longer is better. It is most important of the life time in generator.
1) Platinum would be the best to use, but the cost would be to great. Aquareactor has supply the
Platinum coated plates Edition by order.
2) High surface coated titanium plates is our New plates do not turn the water dirty in any way. Our system
(Wet cell and Dry cell) keep always remain clear and clean and longest life span for customer's satisfaction.
Please see KM-series and KH-series
3) Stainless steel would be the next, and the most common, 316L is endures much longer than 304,
Aquareactor use 316L stainless steel plates in standard. Please see KW-series
4) Graphite would work great and endures material for the HHO generator, Aquareactor has supply
Graphite Edition.
Electroplating different from electrolysis in that the metal deposited from electrolysis plates out on the surface
of another metal. The electrolyte contains the plating metal in the form of dissolved ions and the anode
usually is made of the plating metal. The object to be plated is the cathode. In this reason, will become a
brown colored water (electrolyte) and consuming plates.
316L, Titanium plates are >0.125mm/year corrosion speed at NaOH 20%, 100 degree in centigrade.
It will vary, in Vehicle Condition & Maintenance, Voltage Variations and Electrolyte variations.
Best Electrolyte
A) Tap water (H2O + different particles)
Advantages: Available everywhere
Cheap
Almost safe ( see below )
Disadvantages:
Low gas production
Causes of oxidationThe various particles in water are congregating to the electrodes, and perturbate electrolysis
Beware of water containing chlorine! Electrolytic bath get “used” quickly
For Which HHO cell type: Easily cleanable cells ….
Conclusion: Not the best !
______________________________________________________________________
B) White Vinegar (acetic acid)
Advantages:
Available at grocery store
Cheap
Safe
The electrodes stay clean
Disadvantages:
Low gas production
Strong smell
Which type of HHO generator:
All but gas production will be nearly zero in a Mason Jar type HHO Cell type
Test pure, pour white vinegar directly without diluting it in “Plates” generators whether dry or wet cell. Do you get a sufficient output for your vehicle ? Bingo! Continue this way Dude ! White vinegar is one of the most eco-electrolytes !
Conclusion:
Why not?
C) sodium bicarbonate – Baking Soda – NaHCO3
Advantages:
Available at grocery store
Cheap
Safe
Very good gas production
Disadvantages:
Significant and rapid oxidation, the water becomes brown
The electrolytic bath “wear out” quickly, we must change the bath every 1000 miles
Produces some CO2 and CO
Which type of HHO generator:
Only in a Mason Jar type HHO Cell , which you can drain and clean easily.
Not at all recommended for dry cells, unless you intend to spend your time disassembling and reassembling your cell ….
Conclusion:
Very Nice for starters, and only in a Mason Jar type HHO Cell

D) Caustic Soda (Sodium Hydroxide – NaOH)
Yes, yes, it is indeed the blocked drain-pipe counter!
Advantages:
Available at grocery store
Cheap
Very good gas production
Production of 95 – 100% pure HHO
The electrodes stay clean
Not too dangerous to handle (but still dangerous!)
Disadvantages:
Corrosive, handle with care
Which type of HHO generator:
Interesting for all types of HHO generators
Conclusion:
Very good electrolyte
______________________________________________________________________
E) Potash (Potassium Hydroxide – KOH)
Advantages:
Cheap
Excellent gas production
Production of 95 – 100% pure HHO
The electrodes stay clean
Disadvantages:
Corrosive, handle with care
The dilution of KOH in water produces heat, and can even bring water to boil, this reaction takes place even if you already are using KOH in aqueous solution.
Can’t find it every where, the best source I’ve found is….. ebay! Just click here for direct linking : Potassium Hydroxyde ( KOH )
For Which type of HHO generator:
Interesting for all types of HHO generators
Conclusion:
Excellent electrolyte

F) potassium carbonate – K2CO3
Advantages:
Cheap
Excellent gas production
Production of 95 – 100% pure HHO
The electrodes stay clean
Safe
Disadvantages:
We did not find it so easyly
For my part I ordered from my pharmacist, before I discovered that it was avalaible on ebay for less ! See it here : Potassium Carbonate ( K2CO3 )
Which type of HHO generator:
Interesting for all types of HHO generators
Conclusion:
Excellent electrolyte
