Building Oxy Hydrogen Generators Using Fruit Canning Jars

Beside purchasing and testing the commercial oxy hydrogen generator, we also searched for a home-made DIY (do it yourself) device that is easy to replicate with a low cost. What we found was Ozzie Freeman’s ebook teaching how to assemble and install a home-made oxy hydrogen generator - he calls it water electrolyzer. Here is a picture of the finished pack for his system:

We have almost finished assembled one of this home-made device with the help of Jack Yan. We say “almost finished” because we have trouble finding these two parts in Alberta, Canada:

1. Barb elbow - it looks like this
2. Adjustable dripper - can be ordered here according to Ozzie’s ebook
3. Grade 316L stainless steel wire

If you happen to know where to get these items in Calgary or any other places in Canada, please let us know. Thanks!

Note 1: This is an update entered on September 11, 2008. We found a swivel elbow made of plated brass that works better than any plastic barb elbows out there. Stainless steel swivel elbows are better but more expensive than brass ones. The threaded end can screw tightly on the fruit jar’s plastic cap by drilling a hole slightly smaller than the male end of the elbow. As for the adjustable dripper we purchased it online. We also found a local store that sells 316L stainless steel wires, sheets, pipes, etc. Thank all those who help us locate these items!

Note 2: after finding out the non-316L stainless steel wire corroded fast, I have purchased some other DIY plans to see what else we can use as electrodes. Click here to check these DIY plans for building oxy hydrogen generators we have bought and now recommend. One is easier than Ozzie’s version to build. Another one is more sophisticated and much harder to replicate. Beside fruit jars, I have seen people use water filter container to build the cell.
