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.

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 an additive to boost the efficiency of the engine. Gasoline engines are unfortunately not burning gasoline to its full potential.

This is why it is often referred to as an HHO gas generator. The HHO in itself is not an alternative to gasoline but an 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 fuel 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 .
