This project came from my curiosity for alternate fuels. The peanut butter jar contains a 12 steel plate HHO generator that I made. I took a a small sheet of steel and cut into 12 rectangles. Then I used double sided tape to secure the rectangles together. I then connected every other plate to a positive and the opposite every other plate to a negative lead. Fill the jat with water mixed with baking soda to speed the reaction. The positive plates will produce oxygen while the negative plates with produce hydrogen. These gasses mix together to form HHO gas.The gas is then pumped under pressure through the tubing to the inflating needles that have been cut to make burners. Hook up 12v and tinker with the water level and PH of the water and you have a DIY HHO gas burner.

This was a project I started because I love to go fishing on the Chattahoochee river and wanted to spend more time fishing and less time controlling the motor. The concept is easy and used on lots of DIY steering projects. Two strings on each side of the motor when pulled turn the shaft in either direction. A single 12v DC high torque geared motor is used to pull either string depending on the rotation direction of the motor. I used some hard wood treated for marine use to make a mount for the motor. The mount clamps on to the trolling motor mount and can be used for any trolling motor. To control the steering motor and the trolling motor I used a 4 channel relay switched remote control unit from eBay. By setting the control for the steering to on when the button is pressed I can move the trolling motor shaft left by pressing one button and right by pressing another. The trolling motor is turned to its highest setting and pressing the button on the remote closes the relay and supplies power to the motor unit the button is pressed again. I will list the parts for this project below and follow up with some testing notes.

This is an idea I am pushing into reality. The blog will track my projects and improve the projects through collaboration. Projects that are successful and popular will then be available in kits and prototype versions for sale. If you have a project, please feel free to post it here for the community to help improve or just encourage. Your prototypes or kits that show promise can also be sold here. As this is a new community please share with your friends and promote growth. Happy Innovating! -J Marcantonio
