Part 8: Temperature and cell health

[dirdyd007]

I have built three smack cells and am in the testing portion. All three were build from the exact parts list you provided and instructions given. I am having problems keeping the temperature down and the amps low, depending on the mixture, any suggestions.

Hi. Got to ask you about heat. I put the dc to it today and it bubbled great but I was worried of the heat on the top where the wires hooked up. Pretty hot. Is this normal? I was worried it was going to melt.

Bad connections....

Are those wall plates?

[zeropointprophet]

yes they are wall plates, but wall place are not a good choice for cell plates they are not a true purity of S.S i like using 316 S.S personaly , wall plates contain more iron and thus will show in your water as a orange or yellow tint

[GBS1043]

Those are stainless wall plates ! The stainless used in making these plates is sub -par and has many contaminates, that is why you have all of the "orange tint"... Use real stainless and you will get better results. This is, however, a clever idea, using cheap plates from Lowes or HD...

[EletrikRide]

That's the whole point. Using wallplates that can easily be obtained from your local hardware store. No need for a fancy machine shop. So its a compromise - and a good one. That's why my design is so successful.

I was just wondering about the added Sodium Hydroxide.

By all outward appearances, the breakdown of the water to hydrogen and water molecules is a direct action of the dc power. The Sodium Hydroxide is helping the voltage ( by making the water more conductive ) to crack the water to its principals Oxy and Hyd.

Does the Sod/Hyd burn out, ie does it get used up some how as the hyd/oxy is produced over time or, unless the water is changed, after addition of Sod/Hyd, do you just add dist water? ty

Hello. I just started getting involved with hydrogen and what you show is outstanding. Since I am a new student to your videos, could you give me a crash course i\on how I could replicate with your permission a smack cell?? Thank you in advance.

Toli !!!!

[EletrikRide]

You don't need permission to replicate for yourself

[hydrocrab]

have you ever tried a like a 1 fared capacitor from your battery so that the current changes will happen in the capacitor???? lets all keep trying :)

Mine never gets any hotter than that.

[mjkrist]

I love it, when can I get me one?

Smacks a bad mo fo !! Way cool dude!
