Building a dryer

[b1jetmech]

Has anyone built a dryer to filter out the moister before it enters the engine?

What would be ideal for the "filter" itself without restricting the HHO flow?

I used two pieces of 11/2" x 6" PVC with a stainless pot scrubber in one, connect the two pieces of pipe one the bottom with a 2ft piece of hose. now go from cell to the one that has nothing, the from the one with thee pot scrubber to the intake or carb on my project, put a couple of ounces of water in the hose that connects the bottom of the pipes, then you have a flash back built and dryer.

B1Jetmech:   there is no need to remove the moisture from the Hydroxy gas at all... even if its heavily laden with it for reasons such as boiling going on in the cell... the engine suffers no dammage at all because of the moisture because of the intense heat it developes while operateing...all the moisture is instantly evaporated...
  People have used water injectors for years with a small gain in MPG ...much like the afterburner in a jet engine the water shot into a red hot cylinder only aids cooling and its explosive evaporation helps force the piston down as well...
I personally ran a few water vaporizers, and did it for a few years, with no ill effects whatsoever.
actually a bit of moisture in the intake is a good thing, helps cool things down a bit more.
but extreams are ofcorse detrimental... too much and you hurt things.

Water vapor entering the engine is ok. Water vapor entering the engine carrying catalyst isn't. I used a piece of litmus paper over the outlet hose of my cell and it showed the water had the catalyst in it. Koh and Naoh both inhibit aluminum from oxidizing and forming a patina. Aluminum and water(w/catalyst)will produce hydrogen consuming the aluminum.

If your gas exiting your cell has Koh or Naoh in it and it condenses on the aluminum intake or throttle body that would be bad news.

My setup has a bubbler with vinegar in it to counter react with the Koh and neutralize it. I know of some guys using small paint gun filters to dry out the gas leaving their cells.

Good point Hydrotinkier!
...
a small amount of KOH on alumimum will eat away a bunch of metal....
One MUST consider that its not just water alone !
...
so run Koolaid instead of KOH ! <GRIN>
...
I havn't seen any reaction with Koolaid on anything .... except maybe teeth!  hehehe
