HHO welder update

[fuelban]

Polycarbonate is not good material to use for HHo Units, it has a very low ability to withstand the chemical reactions, it will crack, every time, and in a very short space of time too, it has a saturation content... you probably realise this by now tho !!.

cover it with solenoid glue...

[meyaxshavat]

put some silicone glue

Can plates be 316 or do they have to be 316L ? Does the carbon content of 316 versus the lower carbon content of 316L have anything to do with the degradation of the plates and by products produced or yield of HHO? Does your used electrolyte have hexavalent chromium in it ? If not why? If so, do you treat it and how? Sorry for all the questions but it looks like you've been doing this for a while..

[KyleCarrington]

HDPE can withstand the caustic abuse. Marine grade EDPM (pond liner) makes good gaskets. 316L SS bolts, with brass nuts for non exposed electrical connections are good. Nylon doesn't offer thread life.

Use 316 Stainless! Yep! Brass is no good! Poly CARBONATE! Carbon is an excellent conductor, however, I think it was just the heat.

[vid009]

Just for starters, the spacing is far, far to much ! good effort though

[drewmaster74]

what plastic to use? and stay away from which plastics?

[pinemontgo]

Dont fall for all the the clean build comments, concentrate on increased volume.You are close.

[NEON271156]

the trouble with this form of materials is there are no grain structures, and any small crack/lamination left by drilling for instance, will propogate and grow, it will go any way it wishes without a grain structure to follow, i found rounded edges instead of corners to work well.

"Hydrogen embrittelment" my Boss called it . like others have said stainless steel holds up well against it cause its not as porous though it does leech chromium you can neuteralize it withlime &

[NEON271156]

how do you use lime and ? what else, to neuterlise the s/s plates ???? would love to know how to do that please....

thom.

[audiegates]

ferrous sulfate. you have to experiment with the amounts.. best wishes

[mcz1987]

How long time stainless steel plates works for you ?

How liters/ hour ?

[cheaphardwarez]

Not sure what your electrolyte is, but polycarb is not compatible with lye. Good that you changed material. Brass will also plate out.

[deemortiz]

this video of yours is saving me lots of trouble. I was going to use polycarbonate, but you proved acrylic is much better and cheaper. thank you. I really appreciate you sharing.

[Leftwings22]

Nice video. Poly Carbonate will not work for long in a cell, as you have proven. The data sheets also say they will not hold up, but you have proven the point to all.

Very nice and clean build.

[bogartkimbo]

Do you sell your HHO kits?

[bornman88]

No,not at this stage

[andytysn]

great info, thanks!!

[markj30]

Thanks for sharing this information, I have had people asking me about trying different metals, and now I can tell them to stick to stainless-steel. I am glad I chose to use Perspex and stainless-steel from the beginning. Thanks again

[batteryphil]

im going to try and build a similar setup. any advice or problems you had that i can avoid?

[bornman88]

Nothing more than I mentioned in this video

Stick to 316 SS and Perspex

[crazzieg]

Maybe not hydrogen micro fracture that happens in harden metals but carbon being pulled out of the materials, bonding with the

O2.(Poly...CARBO...nate)has a carbon chain. Brass has a good amount of carbon too.

[ionutjakal]

use nylon threaded rods & nuts

[bornman88]

That does not conduct electricity

[ionutjakal]

sorry , i thought you don't want to, as you said ,SS will do the job

[sloowburn]

@ionutjakal galvanized.....



[mielectric1]

hydrogen micro fracturing on the materials.

[deltarch]

hi bornman; thanks for posting your stuff, I really enjoy it and Nice job. I appreciate the precision. Question - and please forgive the ignorance, you've probably already answered this - are those plates +-+-... or do you have nutrals? Thanks!

[bornman88]

This is a combination of + - + - + - and + n n n -( seven cells in series parralled 10 times)

I have a total of 80 plates, 10 conected to + and 10 connected to - and then 60 plates that are neutral( not connected at all)

[deltarch]

ok great, thanks!
