Read the warning labels is you use it. It is surprising how little it takes to make a big difference.
The key was clean steel.
Also, the battery charger has pulse signal to it at 60 hertz, it allows the bubbles to release from the plates. Constant DC makes bubbles hang on longer.
Pulsing between 60-200 hz will work fine and make it run cooler
there is a patent on using a system of high pressure electrolysis and graphite I came across
that discusses the chemical break downs. I'll look it up and give you a post when I get the chance. By the way on the 316 cell are you using a straight dc power supply or are you using a PWM on it?
Hey great to see your site, I have been thinking about using graphite as electodes, saw your test with 1:30 sec /litre did you ever continue the tests? what grade and dimensions of graphite did you use? Did the grphite create any debree in the cell? did they wear out quickly? or not at all? are you familiar with edm ecm at all?
Graphite works great, lots of gas! Can't remember if I had 18 sq inches from 3. Discs are 2.75 in which means approx 6 sq inches surface area per side. BUT, it makes gas down into the graphite because it is porous. This is low density graphite.
Pos plate does corrode. My understanding is the gas may be COH2. It burns slow and actually implodes when it sucks the air in to burn
I may have some graphite in a few weeks. It's hard to get in low quantities..
Increasing the efficiency of the unit. Initially it drew 30 amps then dropped 2-3 amps.
Units can be designed with smaller tolerances between plates to increase efficiency. The smaller the space between the plates the more gas saturation which is why it needs to be removed. Less space means you can use less electrolyte.
what are you using for catalyst. Looks great. BAKING SODA, A LOT, great production.

KOH, Potassium hydroxide. Cheap and easy.

DC power from the battery charger-I believe it has some natural pulsing to it of 60 hz. I usually do a baseline test of straight DC.

Sorry first time did a post didn' know there was a character limit....
As for the 316 what kind of production did you get off of your setup? with and without the desaturation? What was the spacing on your 316 cell?
Thanks love to talk more just getting started, looking into technology and what going on any guidence would help Thanks and keep up the good work.

I think I know what you are getting at, but why not tell me just to confirm? ;-)
