The Ford Transit is a real challenge to fit a system too. Not only is there little room to add the parts, but it has a strange none standard OBDII. There is no oxygen sensor and no cat converter. Because of this an hho cell has been installed to test. The cell has been made from left over separator cell plates, all new but a redundant design.

Some of my clients have vehicles that travel long distances, and the filling of the hho or separator cell systems was a constant worry.
To overcome this problem, an automatic filler was built that would keep the system filled with distilled water as it were needed.
To overcome fluctuations of levels, time delays are incorporated in the circuit.
Just three stainless steel wires form the sensors, two are used to determine the upper and lower levels and the third one is a common (could also be the tank if made of metal)
The circuit uses a high powered mosfet instead of a relay, so there are no moving parts. The pump can be a windscreen washer pump, as it will only be on for a few seconds during a long trip.
The video shows the water as blue, this is so it is easier to see. Gravity is used in the demonstration to simulate the water being used over a long period of time, and this way you are able to see the action of the auto pump circuit in action.

A demonstration of using a new oxyhydrogen torch designed for jewellery work, however I have been using it for many jobs around the workshop that I would usually need a bottled gas type torch. The torch comes with its own stand, and 5 nozzles. All is presented in a nice gift box with a magnetic catch.
For doing small work as in jewellery, it is absolutely marvellous, but even larger jobs as shown in the video show what it can really do.

Cell plates need to be passivated prior to use.
The process used to be done with nitric acid, which is dangerous and also have an environmental problem of what to do with the acid when finished. Nitric acid can burn your skin severely, and also can damage many things around it by just the fumes that come off it.
Today the favoured method of passivation is to use citric acid which is safe, governmentally friendly and cheap.
Citric acid can be sent through the post as it is a "Non Dangerous Goods" category,
The process is very simple, mix the citric acid power in some distilled water (3% solution) and warm to about 50C or 120F. I use an aquarium pump to pump the acid through a dry cell after it has been assembled, and any number of cells can be joined together so that all can be done at the same time.
Let the pump work for about 30 minutes and then drain and blow air through the cells or better still, oxygen.

Another happy customer. Yesterday we fitted a 4Nx4 cell and complete system to a 2.8 litre diesel. Today we took it for a long run of 260 kms to test it out. The customer couldn't believe the difference to his vehicle, his comments were "The fuel gauge is stuck....", "It's running much quieter, the ticking noise has gone...", It's got more power and is smoother..", "I can't wait to tell the wife how good this is..."
When we got back to our hometown, my customer went to see as many friends as he could find to tell and show them his new fuel addition to his vehicle, I think I am going to be busy for the next few months.

Soon we will be releasing a new system for the heavy vehicles, and because of that a new power controller is needed.
The case for the controller has been thought out, but first it has to be tested before going into production.
The start the test a mock case is being made from cardboard, just to see it it will all go together nicely before spend a lot of money on the machining of the case parts.
This video shows the case being cut out ready for bending to shape and then fitting with all the electronics and the heat-sink and cooling fan.
Another video will follow in a few days or so of the finished controller, ready for installation.

After spending several years developing the 3D Printer that I now have, I decided to give it a voice so that when I take it to do some demonstration at a club, a Maker Faire or elsewhere that people are new to 3D printing, can understand what is happening when the machine is working.
Also, as one function changes in the printing process, the RGB LEDs will change colour and indicate that one function has finished and another stating.
The machine will automatically shut down at the end of printing, turning off all power. This is very handy for those very long prints that are being done when you are sleeping as the machine can be left to turn itself off.
It turned out so good, I have decided to add the feature to some of my other 3D printers, I have many of them, all a little different though similar, and some not so similar.
The idea came when I saw a feature on the reprap forum that had been posted some years ago under the FF Module heading.
I will follow up with this video of my other 3D printers as I add voices to them. All should be a different voice although the same spoken content would be necessary in order to tell what function is being done at the time.
The voice used on this machine being shown now is Hazel, a British sounding voice speaking in English.
