When making hydrogen cells, either hho cells or separator cells, a number of gaskets are required.
These can easily be made and made quick and accurately by use of a gasket cutting jig as shown on this video.
The jig is made from two pieces of steel plate that are drilled together and dowel pinned to keep the hole locations accurate. A punch made from silver steel is used to punch the holes in the neoprene sheet.
Almost anyone can make a jig like this to suit the gasket that they need.
Learn how to make a set of gaskets the easy and accurate way for hydrogen cells or anything that needs a neoprene gasket.
The tools are simple and can be made by most people quite easily and the results are very accurate and quick. Not suitable for doing just a few gaskets, but if you have a need for many and don't want to pay the high fees for a water jet cut gasket, then this is the way to go.

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.

This material is polyester mono filament mesh. We changed from nylon because we have started using titanium plates for the cathodes.
That means we can no longer use KOH as it affects the titanium, so now we use sodium hydroxide. Polyester works better with sodium hydroxide, so we changed the membranes also.

This distiller was made from materials that I had handy. The sheetmetal was folded to make a drain tray and also the main body. Marine or exterior plywood could have been used instead.
The glass panel was from an old window (measures 870 x 810mm, but other sizes can be used)
After folding the sheetmetal and making the two side panels, all were riveted together with pop rivets and then painted black inside and out to help absorb more heat. The joints were then sealed with silicone sealant, tested for leaks and a drain hose fitted as close to the bottom of the drain tray as possible. A 25mm hole was made in the back panel about halfway up to add tap water (could be saltwater too). The glass panel is added last and sealed with silicone sealant to prevent any water vapour escaping.
For South Australian conditions, place the distiller with the glass panel facing North-West.
On a warm spring day you can expect between 1 and 5 litres of production, on a summers day more.

The laser cutting machine is very useful for making many parts and some are shown here.
The machine has been modified a lot since purchased and uses an additional oxygen to help with the cutting of some things. Plastics do not require this modification.
Another video will be made soon that shows in detail the cutting of nylon cloth used for making the membranes of the separator cells.

Toyota 4.2 diesel installation.
This vehicle after fitting travelled 120kms to the next town to pickup a caravan. The owner claims that he noticed little difference in the driving on the way there, except he seemed to use very little fuel.
The big difference was on the way back when he was pulling the caravan, he commented that he has never been able to pull so easily.
General fuel saving he claims to be around 35-40% (guessing from the amount of fuel consumed.
