cold weather and hho generator
I have been researching the HHO generators. I have not found information on what to do with sub-freezing temperatures. Does anyone have any experience with the generator and cold temps?

With a sodium hydroxide solution, which is what baking soda becomes, in low concentrations 1-20% or thereabouts, the freezing point drops to below -20C... but it clibs rapidly back above 0C at 30% concentration by weight. Therefore the concentration should be carefully maintained at 20% or a little lower for best freeze resistance.

I have done some work on that here:
