There is an alternative solution when deciding between a step-down switching regulator and a linear regulator. Switching regulators dissipate less heat than linear regulators especially when the input voltage is much higher than the output voltage or the output load current is relative high. On the other hand, linear regulators are very simple and dont require inductors. What if there was a switching regulator circuit could be simplified and fitted inside a surface mount package and the complete solution became as simple as a regulators circuit?

Dynamite HHO Cell #1

My first video on my HHO cell. sorry for the bad lighting, working on fixing that. UPDATE: Voltage Regulator built. Will post video of PWM testing when i manage to get hold of the scope.

Here is a little better video, I will update with a new video after I re-jett. It took about an hour and a half to install. A second set of hands to help with the front pipe is a must, and unbolt your voltage regulator and move it out of the way to make getting the front pipe in between the frame and the head allot easier. I have disabled the AIS and this bike does not snap or pop on deceleration. I am very happy with these pipes, the finish is great, good quality welds, heavy duty construction, the look is awesome and so is the sound. Makes the 650 sound pretty good.

This is my 1978 Mercury Grand Marquis...has 275000 miles on it (375000??) and still runs very well. It has a 400 CID engine with FMX automatic transmission. It has had all of the brake components replaced including wheel cylinders, rubber lines and master cylinder, new carburetor, valve cover gaskets, voltage regulator, alternator, starter solenoid, radiator, fuel pump, tires and wheels, new belts and hoses, and I added a gauge package to it as it does not have any factory gauges except fuel. The factory Philco-Ford 8 track radio still works well! It has driven to Abilene and the Dallas metroplex many times with no trouble.

Crappy quality vid from my BlackBerry of the bike idling, showing oil pressure, voltages, and the voltage regulator.
