I'm here in Texas, USA, have the southern hicky type of accent, I'd rather have YOURS!
OK, now to the cell, Like the clean look of it! I have built a thru hole type cell using 1.25 inch clear acrylic, talk about heavy! Got a good deal on it. works good!
Anywho, in this vid you state that you "can't" turn this cell on it's side w/ the holes flip flopped? I bet if you flipped it, it would still work, at least for a lil bit
teh770 here. Like what you have done putting the bolts on the out side. If you havent seen my design and test look up teh770. Try making your holes bigger and have them on both top and bottom. it will create a water current flow that will help. Good Job.
Nice job good construction I am very happy to see your cell Very good job you have done,Do you have any pic when you constructiing this cell or Video.Thank you.Bye for now
Super unit. I have been testing the Smacks booster, but after what I've seen, I will be starting a unit like yours. I've seen people put small pumps inline to circulate the electrolite. Also I would use distilled h2o and NAH. Cleanly is the key to assembly. Nice looking unit. Glad I'm not the only one with a Shed. Will keep watching.
Very nice unit and seems to work well.Plate spacing is the key to the unit.The more space you put between the plates the more amps it will pull and the more hho it will put out to a point.I think 1/8 to 1/4" is good enough.I use roughly 1/4" on all of my cells that I build and test.
Yes Mark it is pretty big space, Try a small test unit with spacing at 1/8" use the same solution that you use with your big unit.You should notice that it is pulling alot more amps,when I get some time to spare I Will post some of my units that are spaced 1/8" and more. You have done a fine job on the unit here.Exellent Job Mate
very nice piece of gear you have created there ... your fabrication skills far exceed mine ... you need to get your parts really, really clean ... I bet half your amp problem is that there was residual oil on your steel and gasket material ... even oil from fingers is bad ... use rubber gloves when handling after very thorough cleaning ... know it sounds like your mother nagging but it works ...
Thanks I really appreciate your input, I think you're right about the oil. The gaskets did have what look to be oil on them, made a hell of a mess of the plates. I have had the gaskets sitting in a bucket of water & caustic soda over night, will have the unit ready for another try tomorrow. How do you go about cleaning your gaskets and plates?
dish soap and lots of water. when the wife aint lookin' I then give 'em a run in the dishwasher. then I pickle 'em in a lite vinegar solution over night. then on to assembly. gaskets get similar but no dishwasher. just lots of mild soap and water.
I do building and renovation work and was lucky enough to pick up a small piece from one of my jobs. Unfortunately only enough to make 12 plates, I'll be keeping an eye out for some more.
If you counter sink the bolts into the acrylic they won't stick out and is a neater job. Also heat shrink your wire ends. I would also recomend that you use smaller gas output tubes, the smaller the tubs better the HHO pressure that will come out. Also because your not placing bolts through the plates I hope you have torqued down those bolts holding everything together with a torque wrench. Looks like a nice unit.. I'm wondering if you can build one for me that is longer in length. Let me know.
All of the electrical wiring that I am using is temporary and for testing only. I don't really see the need to countersink my boats, I don't mind them, and it just seems like more work. Building one of these units is quite labor-intensive and I will not be building them for anyone else at this stage. It is still just a test unit, but thanks for your suggestions.
Absolutely great job of construction I am very happy to see your cell and the top notch job you have done . I solute you sir!!!! Have plans to build something similar in a few months when winter hits and the work load is less then.
Thanks for that, it is great to be able to share this stuff with people who are actually interested in it, rather than just boring my girlfriend all the time. We are towards the end of winter here so I am taking advantage of the bad weather to spend more time at home in the shed.
Hi Mark, Nice accent!
Reminds me of Crocodile Dundee, ey?

thepink colour is evident to corrosion ,are you using 316 instead of 304 and Lye instead of baking soda.
Nice job though very neat.

I did not document the construction of this unit, but once I have finalized a design I will document the entire process.
Thanks

(1/4) inch = 6.35 millimeters. Wow that's pretty big, you should post a video of it. It would be good to see it in action.

How nice to see a good idea beeing tested all over the world!
My compliments very good work with attention to the details.
I had that situation to that even by adding more electrolyte the amps were not raising!
I wish you lots of fun with your projects.

why don't you just counter sink the bolts?

I am not sure exactly what you mean, and how it would help. But I would be interested to hear more.
