(WTP-PWM)-vs-(HHO-PWM)
17 Feb 2016
Wireless Trolling Pro (WTP)

This blog will deal with the performance of a Wireless Trolling Pro (WTP), Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) designed for trolling motors vs the the use of 60 Amp Hydrogen Hydrogen Oxygen Resistor Capacitor (HHO RC) PWM units found on the market today. To start the conversation we need the specifications and operational functions of the HHO PWM's. Then lets build the HHO RC controller unit to provide the some of the features as the WTP Model 40 Amp unit that sells for $89.95.
The term (HHO RC) PWM, stands for Hydrogen Hydrogen Oxygen Resistor Capacitor controlled Pulse Width Modulator. The (HHO-PWM) is used for separating the hydrogen molecule from water for use in improving the performance of gasoline engines.

Total Cost HHO RC Controller Components $52.34

WTP 40Amp-40lb PWM $89.95
Not counting your labor you save diy $37.61

The cost comparison is just about the same. 

The value lies in the full features, i.e. soft start, auto Fwd/Rev, battery monitor and shut down, current monitor and shut down and water proof cases. The real danger of the DIY is the Fwd/Rev sw function. If you are running at ¾ speed and drawing30-35 amps and the switch goes from Forward to Reverse you can cause serious damage to your craft/motor not to mention you personal safety. The power dissipated in Fwd/Rev of a motor drawing this current is horrendous. Make no mistake, you need to set your speed to o, then sw and go from Fwd to Rev, then accelerate your speed.

A little HHO info for you.
 
The HHO RC PWM generates a frequency and pulse with modulation using a single chip usually a 555 timer. This device is the mainstay of numerous timing circuits and has been a workhorse for the industrial controller community for over 35 years. That in itself speaks for the utility or this small timer that is still being used. WTP uses a micro-processor for its enormous versatility, which allows for among other things, current sampling, voltage sampling, PWM interface speed control and switch status functions, to name a few. I hope this is helpful.

Please feel free to contact WTP for any help or questions you may have.

Thanks and happy fishing, kayaking, or just casual boating, but do it with a WTP PWM.

How an HHO generator works and helps you save gas

An HHO or Brown gas generator is an interesting and often misunderstood technology.
The Brown gas generator uses electrolysis to split water (H2O) into it´s base molecules, 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen molecule.
This is why it is often referred to as an HHO gas generator. The HHO in itself is not an alternative to gasoline but a
n additive to boost the efficiency of the engine. Gasoline engines are unfortunately not burning gasoline to its full potential.

The average gasoline engine in a car is about 18% to 20% efficient. That leaves a lot of room for improvement and Brown gas is one good way of improving the efficiency. The reason for this is simple, the hydrogen is highly flammable much more so than gasoline so when your engine ignites the hydrogen the explosion ignites the gasoline with much better results (cleaner, less waste and fewer emissions) than it would otherwise have done.

Some basics the burn speed of hydrogen is 0.098 to 0.197 ft/min (3 to 6 cm/min) compared
gasoline´s 0.00656 to 0.0295 ft/min (0.2 to 0.9 cm/min).

The hydrogen explosion is so fast that it fills the combustion cylinder at least 3 times faster then the gasoline explosion and subsequent ignites the gasoline from all directions  (it is like putting f
uel on a fire), instead of just a spark in one end of the combustion cylinder, and we would like to do that because the gasoline only has a short time in the combustion cylinder and if its not fully burnt in that short amount of time then it just goes out the exhaust and is lost. It is also preferable to ignite all of the gasoline when it is under maximum compression in combustion cylinder to get the maximum amount of energy out of it (this is a small time window), whonce the piston starts going down the energy transfer from the explosion to the engine becomes less efficient.

The hydrogen´s higher burn temperature and explosive force is such that it cleans the soot that collects in the engine (it is like having the engine consistent maintains) and with a cleaner engine you get better mileage and fewer oil changes .
