in this case, it is to contain the solution by boiling it in its own vapor, while the outside water jacket cools the vessel as to avoid excess pressure build up.
ammonium hydroxide boils at about 36 deg C, we are using 35% content.

Sorry about the typo's above. For some reason I can not edit my post.

1/ if this piezoelectric effect is only 15% / 18% efficient then how is this a better process than straight electrolysis at 70% efficiency for producing a HHO / water vapour mix?
2/ you state that you are able to start your generator on gasoline then lean it back untill the engine is running using only the HHO/water vapour. You have not said this but are you supplying more power input in the form of ultrasonic transducers to produce the HHO than the generator would be able to produce. Do you have a closed system?
My understanding of the piezoelectrochemical effect is that it uses the environment "Sound" to create hydrogen with out the need for the classical brute-force electrolysis method.
So you are using sound to create water mist that can be ignited by a spark. Once you add the crystals you also get HHO production without adding anymore energy in to the system.
So it makes the system very efficient if it works. I have not grow any crystals as of yet so I am not sure if that part works or not. But there are lots of papers on the subject that support the idea.
As of right now I am not sure anyone has replicated the system that powerme has shared with us. I have built the chamber and have an open test ready to go once I get the crystals ready.

please can you clarrify

Put your flask of cold solution in the water bath and set up reflux condenser with water tube, if you don't have one then just cap your flask tightly and turn on heat. Allow solution to heat up to 60 degrees C, maintain 60 deg C temperature for 2 hours, crystals will grow during this time.
Let solution cool to room temperature, Filter solution and recover crystals.[/I]

You need the ultrasonic ones as Powerme stated.
As this ones:
Wholesale ultrasonic transducer-The humidifier
their power consumption is much lower thn conventional fogger, but we can improve it more.

some fogger comes with buoy, this will be very useful for auto shutoff when water level is low.
it is best for you to get a small 1 piezo fogger to learn on while making your crystals, then buy a large unit to be able to run large gensets or custom build your own.

This friday I will finish my last exam and I will start growing the crystals (at least I will try) and research the rest of the parts.
By the way, could you post some ebay ads (or any other webiste selling foggers) with foggers so we know exactly what you are talking about.
Thanks.

I can not edit, lack this privilege so I'll just add more notes.
on making crystals, if you have a hard time dissolving ZnO powder in ammonium, then turn on heat and heat solution upto 60 deg C.
place your hot boiling flask inside a bowl before freezing incase it breaks from thermal shock.
