Nano plates and Media blasted plates after 1 week run time

[2550osiosterdalen]

I am thinking of ironoxide, because the usual ironoxide, Fe2O3 is red by nature, and FeO and Fe3O4 is black by nature. Perhaps it is just another form of rust?

isent that the build up coating bob boyce says is the best?

[HHOPWR]

I am not sure about Bob Boyce. I have not seen too much that he has done other than his basic style and concept.

Larry,

I have been thinking about the idea to give every gap between the plates it's own own E-lite supply and drain with smaller tubing on the outside of the cell and some sort of manifold. somebody did make a video called MANAFOLD, it should give you a general idea of what I mean. If the tubes are long enough it should be possible to connect them together on the outside of the cell without the possibility that current leakage occurs. Greets from the Netherlands

If you take a dry cell with no holes in the plates and that is normally constructed with gaskets, you can make a small hole in the gasket between each plate gap from the outside at the top and bottom from the cell. The plates have to be bigger then the gaskets because after you make a hole at the top and bottom you stick a plastic straw or a small tube in the holes and cast the entire bottom and top of the cell with epoxy resin. it is hard for me to explain without a drawing.

.......But Larry, I think you get the idea, after all you seem the be the smart part of Alaska.....:-) hehehehe just a friendly joke.

I have kicked that idea around in my head several times. I would stay away from epoxy though. I have never found one that will hold up with KOH. There is a product out there called two part acrylic. It is for encasing objects in a clear acrylic enclosure. I am just unsure as to its chemical properties. I would give it a try but I have had such poor luck with those types of things that I have held off.

I was referring to a video from a guy called ssfuturescott. To me it all looks logical what he has made. I don't say that it has to be exactly as he made it, but the idea has several construction possibilities. I am not experienced with casting epoxy and if epoxy can handle the chemical and heat, but it takes a lot of constructional measurements away because gravity makes things fit perfectly when you cast resin.

Did you say you used nickel to media blast them plates , man they look good.

[insAneTunA]

Hi tjgame2,

Yeah with nickel slag(ck). The do it at places where they powder coat stuff.

[HHOPWR]

Yes they were bedia blasted with nickel slag. I chose that media because the nickel slag media is sharp and provides a more course surface. Any place that does powder coating will have that ability and it is not expensive.

[hhotechnology]

wow! you are leading the way here,

so the plates couldnt be pulled out? if you say you had to cut it apart?

[HHOPWR]

Yes the cells had to be cut and broken apart. I am afraid that this type of construction is permenant. In fact the acrylic breaks and the joints stay intact. With a normal Bob Boyce type of cell the plates can be pulled out the top. The problem is that I want a device that will stay full of e-lite from a resevoir and not have to worry about water sloshing across the top of the plates.

Keep up the Great work Larry.

[HHOPWR]

Thanks, It will get better. Although some good results came from the last cell the next one will be better.
