good luck finding a standard manifold that doesn't collapse after 12 months

never heard of the HHO cemical reaction that under pressure causes a reverse implosion?... kind of like a pulse jet engine....

Nope. Wouldn't a reverse implosion be an explosion? I can't go to youtube, network ****'s won't let me. What are the details? e. g. @ what pressure, what materials are affected, HHO to O2 ratios...

yeah its recommended that you have stainless internals so there won't be rust from the water

yeah thats about it along with a stainless exhaust. When the hydrogen "Burns" it turn back to water vapor, and the water vapor comes out of the tailpipe. Its not completely necessary to change it over to stainless, but recommended if you're using the hydrogen booster for long periods of time.


For anyone building one, I suggest throwing a control switch in the interior, that way you have the power to turn it on and off.
