WooHoo……… Way to go Adgitize!

Adgitise for Publishers. Adgitize is a Free to join advertising network that allows bloggers to earn real money for doing the things they do anyway. Writing posts, placing adverts on their blogs and visiting other bloggers websites.

From an Advertisers point of view it has many advantages over traditional PTC systems, the main benefit being no click fraud as your advert is shown across the whole network for the great value rate of $14 per month.

There is also an Affiliate section where you can get banners or text links to advertise the system. This can boost your earnings when any of the members who join via your links decide to buy advertising.

Joining Adgitize is FREE and allows you to participate in any or all of the above  areas. The sooner you join, the sooner you start earning so click on the banner to the right and lock in your membership.

How to get the most out of Adgitize as a Publisher.

When you login to Adgitize the first time it can seem overwhelming with all the headings. No worries, I’m going to walk you through them and also show you how to maximise your earnings.

The first step is to check that you have an RSS feed listed along with your site URL in the manage blogs section. The feed needs to be at least RSS version 2. This will allow Adgitize to see new posts on your blog and credit you with posting points. You receive points for 1 post per day.

Now click on the GetCode link in the menu and choose the advert block that suits your blog. My recommendation is to use the 125×125 one by four size if you have room as that will earn the most ad points. You are allowed to display no more than 2 of the ad blocks per page. The bulk of the adverts at the present time are 125×125 so give them priority.

Copy the code shown to your blog. This will differ from system to system, but for Wordpress the easiest solution is to add a text widget to your sidebar and simply paste the code into it.

The affiliate banners and text links are ready for you to use. Click on Affiliate in the menu and choose whichever of the banner codes you prefer. Copy/paste the code into your blog.

That’s the basics done. Write articles and show ads/banners.  Easy peasy

You can check your stats in the reports section. ‘Page views/ad views’ show the running totals of views for the day. ‘Total points this month’ are always a day behind as they are calculated from the whole days efforts and views are converted to points.

You earn extra points for visiting other members sites. You MUST be logged into your Adgitize account to get credits for the visits. Login and go to the Leaderboard tab. Click on one or more of the members sites (they will open in a new tab or window) and click on any of the Adgitize Members adverts showin on the site. You can chain drop from site to site following the Members adverts or select sites from the Leaderboard list.

Some of the sites do not have adverts as paid advertisers are not required to show ads. You can click from your own blog, but you only get credit for 1 ad click per blog. When you have visited all the available adverts on the system the ads will show as ‘Spot Complete’.

Want more points and more $$ ??

You gain points from Ad views, Page views, Clicking on Ads and Writing Posts. The more of each that you do, the more you earn.

• Write at least one post a day.
• Use the 125×125 one by four size Advert blocks to generate the most Ad views.
• Maximise the traffic to your blog by using EntreCard or similar traffic generators to increase Page and Ad views.
• Login to Adgitize daily and visit other members sites, Click all the Members Ads that are available.

Even more points and $$ ??

• Add more blogs to your account.

If you have more than 1 blog you can add them to your main account using the manage blogs tab. Then click on ‘Get Code’ where you will see all your blogs listed. Get the code that belongs to the individual blog(s) and place the Advert blocks on the relevant site. Your affiliate ads are the same for all your blogs.

• Advertise on the Adgitize system.

OK, this part is not free, but well worth doing. Adverts cost $14 for a full months views and generate a substantial amount of new traffic. The side benefit for publishers is that you earn even more points and increase your earnings, as Adgitize gives bonus points for being an Advertiser on their system. You not only receive advertiser points but also a higher rate of points for all the other points generating methods.

Check the Leaderboard, you will see that all the top publishers are also advertisers. You are not restricted to just advertising your blog. Any site that complies with Adgitize terms regarding decency etc. can be advertised.

• Promote the Adgitize system.

Promoting the Adgitize system via banners, text links or articles brings in new members and can lead to extra rewards. You don’t get paid for recruiting per se, The extra $$ are only paid if/when a member that you brought into the system buys advertising. Adgitize pay $5 of the first months advertising fee to the introducing member and then $1 per month for as long as the new member advertises. Lots of room for creativity and earning outside the blogosphere. Forum sigs, article directories, word of mouth etc. The only limit is your imagination.

I hope that this article helps You to make the best of your Adgitize membership and earn those precious extra $$. Any questions or comments are more than welcome as they will help me to improve the guide.

Thank You Adgitize :)

Having passed the 5000 mile mark since installing this home brewed HHO cell my results are as follows.

I have been keeping a log of all my gasoline purchases along with mileage and am happy to report that over this 5 month period and 5283 miles of mixed driving my mpg has improved from a baseline of approximately 34 mpg to an average of 48 mpg.

Also, on a recent 300 mile trip from Panama City to David near the Costa Rica border, I achieved approximately 67 mpg cruising on the highway at a steady 70. Only a few towns along the way where I needed to slow down, mostly good 4 lane open road.
I say approximately because this was a single trip and I used a different gas station when filling so the figure cannot be as accurate as a long term test.

Measuring the output and amperage draw on the cell after this length of time showed a slight drop in output. Unfortunately the cell is a sealed unit so I am unable to check the condition of the internals without wrecking it. When 1st installed I was getting about 1 lpm at 12 amps, but I increased the amps to 18 hot after a running in period and was getting 1.6 lpm of HHO. This has dropped off over the 5000 miles to 1.4 lpm at the same 18 amps.

I’m currently running the system with reversed polarity in an attempt to clean off any buildup on the plates. The NaOH solution in the system has remained reasonably clean but I expect that to change with the reversed current as any buildup on the plates will go back into solution.

I also took out a spark plug to check on the condition. The color of the plug is a good indicator of the mixture of fuel and air. Light tan is correct, A rich mix will make the plug darker and a white plug is a sign that the mix is too weak.

Here are 2 plugs for comparison. The one on the left was fitted new when I installed the HHO system, and the one on the right is one of the old ones I replaced at that time.

As you can see, the new plug is marginally lighter in color but still well within the safe zone regarding mix. Proof that the gains come from improving the burning of the fuel rather than weakening the mixture by overdoing the adjustments to the sensors.

Overall I’m more than happy with the results. Even though the cost of gasoline has dropped temporarily it’s proved to me that the technology works and will pay back even better in the future when gas goes back up. However, it’s not a plug and play system as many still selling garbage on Ebay make out. The system needs to be constantly checked for water and amperage draw. The sensor adjustments take a considerable amount of time to get right as the computer is a slow learner.

For a hobbyist with time to spend it is definitely entertaining. Learning about electronics, chemistry and physics as well as the pleasure in driving past more gas stations. For John/Jane average motorist I feel that it is still too much hassle. After all, half the motorists in the world are barely able to fill the gas tank without assistance.

Bypass the instant magic fixes and W4G systems that are being promoted by scammers. There are a number of good people supplying parts and kits now on Ebay for hobbyists at sensible prices. Check out some of the HHO forums and learn the basics before wasting money on junk. Most importantly, have fun and be safe.

5000 miles with HHO assistance. Update.

The kitchen ladles turned out to be impresive quality, Indian SS is way better than I expected.

Here’s a pic of the surface of a ladle that has been subjected to over 48 hours use, alongside a new one.

The 48 hours were at about 3 amps, temperatures up to about 180F, and as there were only 4 plates (3 cells) voltage was about 4v. This stuff shows less degradation than the 304 stainless I normally use, at a fraction of the price.

Anyway, I was pleased enough with that test, and have bought several more of these ladles to test further.

My next step was to rebuild the unit with 7 plates in total to give 6 cells so that each cell would draw about 2 volts. Again, the whole unit has been wrapped with tape to reduce stray voltage. The tape glue does break down in use, but I have minimised that by cutting 2 circles of very thin plastic to go under the tape on each side. I also used cable ties to secure the tape ends and stop the electrolyte creeping under the tape.

As you can see in the video, this little unit produces a decent amount considering it is only drawing 3 amps.

Next step will be to hook it up to a car battery as the laptop power supply I’m using maxes out at 4.5 amps and I don’t want to cook it. If all goes well with that test at around 10 - 12 amps, I will then have the challenge of finding or making a suitable container so that I can measure the output properly. Current thoughts are to cut off most of the handles and encase the circular parts in glassfibre resin, with tubes top and bottom for electrolye and gas flow. That way I can use an external reservoir and keep the unit small.

How to build a cheap HHO generator using kitchenware pt3

I’ve tried Amazon, Clickbank and several others with little success. Goggle earns a bit as the ads are somewhat targeted, enough to cover my hosting bills most of the time. Direct sales of ad space also helps.

Well, I have found a company where I have the potential to make more than cents per day. I am giving this NEW ad network called Adgitize a try. See the advertisements to your right and the banner below?  A brand new blogger’s advertising network that pays real money for their affiliate program. Five dollars a sale on the initial sale of an ad and then $1 per month as long as the advertiser runs an ad. Sure beats the hey out of Project W…. ads at 1c a day or hosting Spotts ads for a big fat zero.

At least they have a realistic payout program at only $10 via PayPal. You make only two sales and you actually get money. No waiting for years and years of showing ads in the hopes of “someday” someone will send you something. They have some great creatives and more on the way. You can display the Adgitize 125px by 125px ads, 468px by 60px ads or even text link ads. You decide how you want to market their product.

You can join them FREE as either an affiliate, a publisher or an advertiser.

What makes it really exciting is the company is BRAND NEW. Adgitise just started November 2, 2008. That means  you can get in at the start. If you have ever wanted to be the first to a company then this is your opportunity. The only way to lose is through inaction. It costs you nothing to join. The signup is quick and easy. Just click the Adgitise banner below.

Will Adgitise help cover my hosting costs? I hope so :)

Get a 2.5 litre plastic coke bottle, pour out the coke and mix with good Panamanian rum with plenty of ice. Save this for later Now hack off the top part of the bottle with a knife or scissors so you have a container. Or you could use a plastic bucket. Drop your ladle assemby into the container. Handles sticking out of the top!!

Fill the container to just cover the plates with water. Tap water is ok for experimenting. You will be amazed at how much muck it contains and sediments out during electrolysis. For a proper cell always use distilled water.

Now grab some baking soda from the larder, or drain cleaner from under the sink ( if using drain cleaner check the label to make sure it’s 99% sodium hydroxide). Please don’t use salt as it gives off chlorine gas which is not healthy. Be careful handling this mix as it is unfriendly to skin and clothing. Read the warning labels.

Mix a couple of teaspoons of the above into a quart of water in a seperate plastic container. Be careful as heat is given off and always add powder to water, not the other way around.

Next we need power. For my testing I used an old laptop power supply that gives 4.5 amps. Any 6 -12 volt power supply or battery charger that gives out 4 - 6 amps will work though. If you have nothing else available, run leads from your car battery.

Attach your power source to the handles making sure they don’t touch. You should see tiny bubbles appearing from the gap between the handles coming out of the water. This is due to the impurities in the tap water. If you were using distilled water there would be no reaction.

Now add some of the water with baking soda/drain cleaner, just pour it into the container/bucket a bit at a time, mix it in and watch. Don’t overdo it as it reduces the resistance of the cell and increases the amps. This is where a battery charger is the best power supply as it will have a meter built into it. For a simple cell of this size power should be kept down to under 6 amps. The photos here show the gas production using just 3 amps.

The gas bubbles you can see in the photo are a mix of Hydrogen and Oxygen. The foaming is due to using tap water plus some contamination from the glue on the electricians tape. Be aware that this gas is highly explosive which is why this part should be done outdoors in an open top container. Hydrogen is 4 times lighter than air so the gas disperses easily as the bubbles burst.

The electricians tape is not suitable for long term use as the liquid attacks the glue and breaks it down. It will usually last for a day or so and is cheap enough for experimenting. For a real cell always use heat shrink tubing for insulation. A poor man’s heat shrink can be cut from plastic coke bottles of a suitable size. Cut tubular sections from the bottle and use gentle heat to shrink it into place.

Disclaimer: This whole article is about an experiment done by me. Nothing more is implied. If you choose to copy the experiment or make use of any of the ideas contained in this article, you do so AT YOUR OWN RISK. Electricity and water can be a dangerous combination, and the HHO/Hydroxy gas produced is HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE. You are responsible for your own safety and that of others nearby.

How to build a cheap HHO generator using kitchenware pt2

The ladle part is almost 4″ diameter so that gives about 12 square inches of surface per plate (pi x r x r ) if I remember math from half a century ago

OK……… let’s go and build a kitchen cell. Minimum tools. A simple DIY project to generate HHO/ HYdroxy Gas.

First off, we need to get rid of the handles on all except 2 of the ladles. I used tin snips, but a hacksaw or angle grinder would do equally well. That’s the hardest part over.

Spacers: My 1st thought was to use some of the small self adhesive pads used as buffers for kitchen cabinet doors. Unfortunately I was unable to find any. Next best thing that is easily available here in Panama was the plastic tubing used to fix mosquito screen into it’s frame. Split it lengthways with a craft knife and then cut the tube so it fits slightly less than half way round the outside of each ladle. Fix the ends with superglue.

Only add the tube to alternate ladle/plates. In this case I had an even number (4) so the tubing was fixed to one of the ladles with a handle and one without. If I had an odd number of ladles I would have fixed the tubing to alternate ladles without handles.

These ladles have small holes punched in them which may cause a small power loss as current can pass through the inner plates. Solid plates would be better, but here I’m using easily available stock so will have to see how well it works.

A quick explanation of how this type of cell works and the formulas involved may be in order at this point.

There are 3 electrical things involved, Volts, Amps and Resistance. I will endevour to explain them in laymans terms.

Volts:
Electrolysis of water to produce HHO/Hydroxy gas only needs about 2 volts. Car systems are usually 12v or slightly higher when running as the alternator produces about 14volts to enable it to charge the battery.

If we just use 2 plates, anything over 2 volts is wasted as heat. There are 2 ways to overcome this problem. Either we make several 2 plate cells and wire them in series so that the current passes through them like a chain, or we can add neutral or floating plates between the positive and negative plates. Adding a neutral plate in effect creates 2 cells, one on each side, and halves the voltage. For a 12 volt system, adding 5 neutral plates creates 6 cells between the 2 powered plates and reduces the voltage to the level we require. This experimental cell has 2 neutrals, creating 3 cells at 4 volts each so it will run slightly hot.

Amps:
Amps or current are what make the water separate into gas. More amps……. more gas. However, we need to keep in mind that we do not have an unlimited supply. The car alternator has to supply current to many other things, as well as keep the battery charged. So what we want is the most gas for the least current.

Secondly, the amount of amps that we can use are also limited by the size of the plates. A good rule of thumb here is a maximum of 1 amp per square inch. For low grade stainless steel like chinese kitchenware it’s better to keep the current down to 1/4 amp per square inch as it will rust.

Resistance:
This is a measure of the difficulty that the volts are subject too while trying to push the amps through the cell. Less resistance means more amps. In the case of electrolysis this is adjusted by the strength of the electrolyte and the space between the plates. Wider spacing means more resistance, purer water means more resistance. This is the part we can adjust, both during the cell building and once we start testing.

Back to the cell building.

What we want to achieve is the maximum amount of current flowing through the plates and the liquid between them while minimising current escaping into the surrounding water. To help in this we need to insulate any metal that is in contact with the water apart from the actual plate surfaces inside the cell.

So the next step is to cover the handles. For this quick build I am using electricians insulating tape. For long term use a better alternative is heat shrink tubing. This just slides over the handles and is shrunk into place by gentle heat.

OK, We now have 2 ladles with the handles insulated, and 2 neutral plates. 1 of each has the thin tubing glued around both edges with a gap top and bottom. Let’s put it together.

To help keep the plates aligned I used 2 thin screws through the holes as a temporary fix. Start with the complete ladle with tubing attached, add the neutral plate without any tubing, then the one with tubing around the edge and finally the 2nd ladle with no tube. Keep the handles aligned.

Wrap the whole unit using electricians tape, or large diameter heat shrink tubing if available, except for the small area at the bottom where liquid will enter. Remove the temporary screws once you have got at least half the tape in place. The Hydroxy gas will escape from the gap between the handles. This wrapping holds the unit together and also insulates the plate edges and outer surfaces. Just like the handles, this keeps all the current in the area between the plates where it can produce gas, rather than allowing it to escape into the surrounding liquid where it will only create heat.

Voila!!……… We now have 4 kitchen ladles taped together. Lets go make some gas in the next article.

Changed the theme, I prefer light colours. The old theme was too hard on these old eyes. I hope you like it too.

I’ve also added a forum. Comments are less than practical for discussion so you now have two choices. A quick comment if that’s all that’s needed, or an opportunity to have an extended discussion via the forum format. To post in the forum you will need to register, simple form but it helps keep the spammers out.

It’s kinda bare in there at the moment, no point in adding loads of sections until we see how it develops. Easy enough to create separate areas for the different subjects as it grows.

Please, if you do decide to experiment, read the legal and disclaimer pages at the top of the blog. Both for your own safety and to cover my butt if anything goes wrong.

Added an HHO Forum

These ebooks show you how to convert a regular gasoline engine car into a Hydroxy Hybrid  and claim that you can improve gas mileage by up to 100% - effectively doubling your gas mileage.

Like most marketing claims, these figures need to be taken with a pinch of salt. I am actively involved with a number of forums dedicated to the subject, as well as building several different designs of Hydroxy generators for my own use. I also manufacture and install Hydroxy generators for diesel plant and commercial equipment.

While there are ocasional wild claims, most of the experimenters I have met are getting anywhere from 10% to 60% savings, with the majority in the 20-30% range. There are also a number of top end experimenters who are taking the process to really high levels, but also spending far more on their Hydroxy generators than most of us would consider practical. I want to save money by buying less gasoline for my everyday drive, not spend $1000’s building a system that needs a truck to carry it.

For the home experimenter there are a number of ebooks available via the internet. I have only reviewed a few of them, and can comfortably recommend  The 2008 ULTIMATE Gas Saver Guide as the best value of the 3 I have read. It covers all the main areas concerning Hydroxy from the next 2 books, while reducing the technical jargon from one and the fluff from the other. This book also covers many other ways to reduce gas consumption.

The Water4Gas ebook is very extensive, with easy to follow instructions and customer service. It contains a lot of valuable information on the subject in general but is let down by the generator design that the author provides. The wire in jar cell is at best a high school project, despite the number of cowboys selling them on ebay.

Run Your Car On Water is half the price of the water4gas book, but is much harder to follow as it is more technical in nature.  However the designs provided are much more substantial and effective.

All 3 books come with the clickbank money-back guarantee.

If you have more patience, you can also bookmark this blog and follow my progress.  Or you can do your own searches on the net for forums and articles on the subject.

Most of the information is out there, freely available for those of us with more time than money or an enthusiasm for the whole subject. The ebooks have the advantage of putting the same information into your hands in an easy to read format, rather than having to sift through an overload of contradictory facts and opinions.

Over the next few months I aim to analyse the strengths and weaknesses of the various designs given in the ebooks or freely available on the net, as well as some of the commercially available units on the market. I will also try to explain the many different electrical and chemical processes involved in calculating cell size and configuration for efficient Hydroxy production.

Another area I will cover is how to install a Hydroxy generator safely. sound wiring, heat problems, flashback protection, auto shut off, etc. as well as the sensor modifications that are usually needed for modern computer controlled engines.

You will need patience though. I write when I have the time and inclination and share my knowledge freely. One day I may collate everything into an ebook, but for now this blog is enough to keep me occupied.

If there is a particular system or design that you are considering buying, but want a second opinion, just ask via a comment. I don’t sell systems or act as an agent for any manufacturer so no bias from that angle.

Comments help me to focus on what to write about first. and you, my loyal reader, get the information that interests you.  Win Win.
