Preface
VICTOR Construction
I'm pleased that you have interest in the VICTOR HHO Cell and that you have it in mind to construct your very own. The model featured in this section is the VICTOR-300, with 300 square inches of Stainless Steel surface. This unit is a little smaller than my primary model VICTOR-320, however it can be just as productive.
The VICTOR-300 plates are designed with a straight cut for ease of manual DIY construction. The VICTOR-320 plates are professionally machine-cut for maximum fit in the described canister. Cutting the plates manually can be a hard task, dangerous or injurious. Use safety precautions such as gloves and goggles to prevent injuries when cutting or grinding the plates.
The first section of Construction and Installation illustrates and describes the assembly and demonstrates a typical installation of a VICTOR HHO Cell. Supporting Control Modules are described in the second section and limited mainly to the installation of the units.
Please enjoy your construction for your personal achievement. If you should have any suggestions for improvements or a constructive comments, I would be fond of such response via the 'Contact Us' page above.
Before you proceed
Safety Foremost
Before you proceed, you need to know that HHO Cell is NOT a TOY and if you make and use an HHO Fuel Cell, you do so entirely at your own risk . The VICTOR HHO Cell is designed to be a very powerful device and I am not liable should you suffer any loss or damages. I assume zero risk in any of your experiments as everything is out of my control.
Part-I
Construction and Installation
Overall Design
Pictured above are the primary units of the VICTOR HHO-Fuel Cell, the Water Filter Canister with an attached bubbler, Stainless Steel VICTOR Plates, and Flash Back Arrester. A few other parts are required for an electrical connection, which will be discussed later.
The design of the VICTOR HHO-Fuel Cell uses a very unique plate assembly for high volume surface contact with the water. The plates use a unique tri-bolt assembly to reduce false contact with other plates while maintaining a rigid plate structure.
NOTE: There are NO internal wires used or exposed to the inside of the cell's activity area, therefore eliminating corrosion failures due to dis-simular metals like in so many other HHO wired plate cells.
The VICTOR HHO Cell is housed in a water filter canister (Water tight unit - not built in a glued PVC pipe), and constructed with 10 stainless steel plates and a few PVC joints to assemble the trap/bubbler. All the parts can be purchased at your local hardware store. Note: The plates are cut from a sheet of stainless steel.
After you conduct a few web search reviews, you will come to see that the VICTOR HHO Cell design is far above most others and should be included in the TOP ranks. I expect that the VICTOR will set a few design standards for many others to follow.

How to Assemble VICTOR HHO Cell
Plates Detail
The plates of the VICTOR HHO Cell are all made from 18 gauge type 304-Grade Stainless Steel that are precision cut to fit into the water filter canister.
Note: Water Filter Canister can be purchased in different sizes, therefore larger plates could be used in larger capacity canisters for a greater demand engine.
Basic Non Tapered Plates measure 2-1/4" wide by 7" tall for the Neutral (N) and Connector (C), and 2" wide by 7-5/8" tall for the Terminal (T) plates. The total plate surface area measures approximately 300 square inches.
NOTE: The plates illustrated below is the VICTOR-300 straight cut series for the DIY engineers. This is a modified version of the original sizes without a tapered canister fit.
The set of ten plates are assembled in a polarity configuration such as (+NN-NN+NN-). Where as the (+) is for positive, (-) is for negative, and the (N) is for Neutral. The complete ten plate assembly requires two sub-assembly sets of five plates each that are configured as (TNNCN). Where the T is the Terminal plate and the C is the Connector plate. And where as the T and C in respective sub-assembly is of like polarity. This plate configuration essentially creates three polarity fields for hydrogen generation.
Five sets of 'Washer/Grommet-Nut/Washer' are required for the N-plates and two pairs of added washers for the T and C plates for establishing electrical contact with the plates. Eight 1/4"-ID Grommets are required as pass-through isolators for the N-plates (top and bottom) and for the bottoms of the T and C-plates.
The plates are all assembled using stainless steel bolts, nuts, washers, and rubber grommets, keeping the spacing between each plate approximately 1/8" apart. (See parts list in diagrams above.)
One more 1/4 x 3 inch bolt (and nut) required to marry the two Sub-Assemblies together at the bottom. Be sure to watch for correct spacing between the plates.
The image below shows a completed and merged plate assembly for the VICTOR HHO Cell. (The center terminal is really a shadow of the upper terminal.) As you can see - this compact unit is designed for Hydrogen Production with its 300 Square Inches of plate surface and Triple-Polarity Fields.
The Assembled Parts should be tested with an OHM meter to insure correct plate order and polarity assembly. Also taking note of complete isolation where plates are not connected.
The assembled plates (set of 10) are then attached to the bottom side of the water filter top (hanging) with stainless steel 1/4 x 1.5 inch bolt with anchoring washer and nuts. In addition to the mounting add a pair of wing nuts (with washers) to fasten power source cable when installed in on the vehicle.
Trap / Bubbler
The trap/bubbler is made of a 1" diameter clear plastic tube that is mounted on the side of the water filter with a smaller tube that runs near the bottom.
The inside details of the basic trap/bubbler is given in the diagrams. For larger HHO-Fuel Cell units, adjustments may be made to fit a larger trap/bubble for the higher production.
Caution should be taken when assembling the Trap/Bubbler to insure that the parts form a good seal.
When using PVC glue - test fitting. Remember practice makes perfect for a one time set - no do-overs!
Arrester Assembly
The Arrester is a very IMPORTANT part of the complete HHO Cell assembly to prevent flashbacks. This simple assembly should NOT be omitted nor should the 'Fine Bronze Wool' be substituted. Be sure to pack the wool tightly into the line. The completed Arrester must be soaked in water to enable water to infiltrate the bronze fibers. If all is well this unit will never be needed, it is a safety device 'just in case'!
Place the Arrester inline between the output port of the HHO Cell and the IC-Engine's intake section (the Feed Tap). Depending on the final weight of the arrester, it should be placed as close as to the point of possible ignitaion, or a point where stability can be maintained (fix mounted - not likely to work loose).
Active VICTOR HHO Cell
The following images respectfully show my VICTOR-320 HHO Cell installed and operating. This is the unit that I have demonstrated to hundreds of people. Please note - for my demonstration I use a clear canister for easy viewing - to see it working. For your installation you can keep your cost down with the opaque colored canisters as seen at the top of this page. As you can see the VICTOR HHO Cell fit very nicely near the Firewall on this Jeep. However, your placement may vary.
The following images are the same installation - just a closer view.
The Feed Tap into the fresh air intake.....
... and the VICTOR HHO Cell generator installed.
You might ask where is the Arrester? - Well it's just to the right behind the wheel fender as a fixed mount. Vibrations and Torque of the engine are isolated from the arrester and the HHO-Fuel Cell.
Just one more image here - that is the use of two additional components for the electrical hook-up. I have outlined the components in red - the left one is the fuse and the right one is the power relay. Electrical details are on the drawing board and will be published soon.
Part-II
Installation
Overall Discussion
This section only illustrates a typical installation. Every installation is different between vehicles, only in the same like model may there be a common point. Your placement may vary from all others - so where ever it best fits - is the rule.
The Control Modules (CM) discussed in this section - is a single box construction with multiple controls (I.E. I-PWM, SINGLE EFIE or DUAL EFIE) as presented in the previous Control Module web page. It really does not matter if you have a single or double box installation. In the best case, all of the control units will/should be housed in a common box.
What is important in the Control Module installation is two fold: 1) Keep the Unit Cool, 2) Ensure proper grounding.
COOL - You want to install the CM Box (with I-PWM) in a well vented cool location or where there is adequate air flow. Due to the Current demand required by the HHO Cell, it is important to enable the box to transfer its heat to the automobile's chassis or flowing air. Heat build-up will degrade the performance as well as damage the micro circuits in the electronic IC chips. The better the physical mount to the chassis the better heat transfer. So find a spot (not plastic) that the CM Box can mount securely - flush mounting is perfect.
GROUNDING - Refer back to the previous Control Module web page, in reference to the EFIE circuit discussion; due of the critical and sensitive bias level (I.E. 450mv) any loose connection to the sensors can distort its effectiveness to regulate fuel mixture. It is important to ensure grounding and all related connections are properly secure.
Current-Pulse Width Modulator
I-PWM Initial Setting
((( BOXED I-PWM )))
The image above is a Series-I Control Module with I-PWM and Dual-EFIE circuits. Series-I is a low current I-PWM for smaller HHO-Cells. Series-II (not pictured) is a high current I-PWM recommended for the VICTOR-300 HHO Cells series. In most cases only a Single-EFIE will be required - this depends on your personal vehicle requirements.
The provider of the I-PWM should have previously set the unit between 50-85% of the maximum drain on the power transistor. This setting initially allows you to have an moderate production but not maximum to prevent an over driven HHO Cell when first installing.
((( UP CLOSE I-PWM )))
Field settings and adjustments should be made according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the I-PWM. Refer to the instructions as to the proper sequence and settings of the control potentiometers (Variable Resistor - VR). In the above I-PWM example the potentiometers are identified as three blue boxes with brass screws on top.
The three potentiometers work together to control the load of the HHO Cell for providing adequate production while minimizing current. Limiting the current we can prevent the Cell over heating. When adjusting current load - pay close attention to the HHO Cell's production and temperature. The following basic adjustments are applicable to an I-PWM control module.
((( WIRing Hook-Up )))
The above Overall-Installation Electrical-Diagram is a simple block illustration for a HHO Cell. The relay described in the diagram is typical for an automobile relay (available at most auto repair and electronic stores). If luck is on your side there will be an available relay mounting point in your car's Fuse and Relay box with wiring to a Fuse socket which is generally controlled by the accessory position of the ignition key.
On the other hand - if your not lucky, use the simple block diagram to wire up a fuse and relay as illustrated. You may have to provide basic cover protection for the relay if mounted under the hood outside of the Fuse and Relay box.
Observe the pin connections to establish the circuit. If installing a PWM or an I-PWM refer to the wiring diagram for proper connection. The HHO Cell and optional PWM should only operate when the ignition key is in the ON position.
The above diagram shows a 30A Fuse off the battery source terminal. This can also be a fuse within the Fuse and Relay box.
In the optional installation for a PWM or I-PWM, the Positive source should feed both the HHO Cell and the PWM. The negative side of the PWM is connected to chassis ground. With the optional PWM, the negative terminal of the HHO Cell should be connected to the Cell terminal of the PWM, other wise to chassis ground.
Note: The VICTOR HHO Cell series is non-polar in reference to the Cell's terminal. Meaning the Cell works either way.
((( EFIE INSTAL )))
