#190 - Inverted T cell part 5

[jylp4u]

I know a whole lot about tools, the snips you used to cut your plates are "right cut" in other words you use your left hand to cut clockwise, the pair you need have a red handle and are called left cut.

[ZeroFossilFuel]

Wow. I am *SO* glad you cleared that up. Thanks!

[jylp4u]

LOL

[robbieYAHU]

hi Z

why cant i find anything more?

did you stop at part 5 ?

keep up the good work

peace bro

[wanjockey]

Oh yea and the scrap part that is being cut away should be on top of the part you are cutting. that is why the jaws of the shears are shaped with the bigger jaw on the bottom and the skinnier jaw on the top. You will notice that they 'just seem' to work better in one direction than the other. :) You will notice that they are designed to work like scissors. I have used them many times cutting duct work for HVAC. Again good video. Thanks Zero.

[wanjockey]

The green handle shears are left handed direction cutting, the red handle shears are right handed cutting. just an FYI :)

Any guesstimates on the output Z ? MMW ?

TIA

[ZeroFossilFuel]

Greater than 6. Possibly close to 7. Plate area in solution for both sides of the assembly is only about 9.8 sq-in. Even at 10 amps that's over driving it at >1A/sq-in.

10A @13.8V = 138 Watts.

@6.5 MMW that should be about .9LPM

@7.0 MMW it would be 0.966 LPM

If this works well I'm going to make a 4" version. Total plate surface area 19.24 sq-in. Could be driven to 20A at the same A/sq-in for about 2LPM.

Did you know those shears come in both a left-handed and right-handed version. Here you are right-handed and using the left-handed shears.I see you fighting the direction of the cut--making it more difficult than it has to be. I have a set of both kinds in my tool box. Wish you did, too!

[water2gashawaii]

Hey Zero, always a pleasure to watch your videos. You are an inspiration to many of us. Keep up the good work.

I've got a inverted T-Cell from Darol that I'll be doing a video to compare it to a dry cell, and will be putting one of them in our Van soon.

[virgojeep1]

Try a fine tooth hole saw for a better more accurate cut.

[midget116]

how about a hole saw?

[AfricanHijix]

you have some beefy forearms my friend.

[ZeroFossilFuel]

It's funny. I really don't, but on camera it looks that way. Maybe it's that +10lb effect?

I will say this, however. If I spend any more time cutting stainless with those sheers I certainly WILL develop beefy forearms! ;-)

[gittarpikk]

"Offset" shears, and green is Righthand cut..,Zero...is I think the name, I've seen them called simply called "kick-up"...but only a few times

[ZeroFossilFuel]

Yes I know but they feel like left hand sheers because I can't easily see my line going clockwise around the cut when holding them in my right hand.

I just bought a red pair tonight to go ccw around the cut.

[mikepowers420]

Zero, I just completed two 15 plate Joe-cells - + - with no neutrals, then connected them in series, no PWM. I hooked them up to my battery charger. At 6.5v 10a my gas production is right about .92 lpm.

2 more and I'll, then I'll run all 4 in series with a PWM. Should run cool and produce enough HHO to supplement my Nissan Pathfinder.

Peace and keep up the good work.

[ZeroFossilFuel]

14.15 MMW?

I have a feeling if you put a volt meter across the cell it will measure more than 6.5 V. Even if it's half wave rectified power, that's awesome!

[scarmenl]

Z I get you when you say you want to keep it to what anybody has. Well that is fine.

But if you want a cheap way to make accurate repeatable circles then get a jig saw with a metal cutting blade, or two. Make two nice round circles out of plywood or MDF. Now just behind the blade on the band saw glue or screw a little block that lines up with the side of the jig saw blade. This way it is very easy to follow the circle jigs around and cut nice accurate circles.

[Rufe0]

would be very easy to saw notches on the inner diameter of your outer tube for gas/water flow

[ZeroFossilFuel]

That would also work. Glad to see people thinking.

[kissmyhho]

what about the appeal to the other 75% of people. i just was thinking about keeping the theme based on technology! We moved on from stone axe along time ago.

[ZeroFossilFuel]

Well, my friend, I can't please everyone. Nor do I intend to try. If you dislike how I do things, don't watch. Period.

[frussell3]

The tinsnips you are using is designed for a lefthanded person. You'll find it much easier if you can get a right handed tinsnips.

[LarryMReed]

Hacksaw, tin snips your in most everybodys budget range with those tools and your documenting how and why you are doing it.

Any schmuck can figure out how to do what

your doing with power equipment. Unemployed

or underemployed are learning how they can play in this areana too. I like, I like it a lot.

[ZeroFossilFuel]

Yes, I wobble between wanting the best toys to get the job done quickly and just doing it the hard way using what most people have on hand already.

When I get into plasma injectors and such I will have to get more sophisticated. But for now I think I'll stick with the program of keeping it in reach.

[kissmyhho]

use a jigsaw witht he correct blade. secure your work peice and you will do accurate cuts. what you are doing there is making yourself look like you are less than you are! cmon z what goin on! you know i'm right.

[ZeroFossilFuel]

See my comment to LarryMReed.

[kissmyhho]

you can buy a jigsaw for $35 bucks! anyone can afford that when shears are $25

am i right or just right?

[onthecuttingedge2005]

purchase a small CNC mill, it will make all future projects much easier and precise.

[ZeroFossilFuel]

See my comment to LarryMReed.

Belly @ 4:15 XD

[ZeroFossilFuel]

Still had one even when I was running marathon 20 years ago and only 160 lbs. It's genetic, no to mention soft and cuddly. ;-)

[flahr1]

Thanks zero, iinformative.

Tin snips can be bought that are curved for cutting...curves

[jayhawkhho]

This a very interesting design it looks to be a very compact .Thanks for bringing it to all of us .I Look foward to seeing the rest of your videos on this series.

Thanks again

Jayhawkhho

[ZeroFossilFuel]

You betcha!

[llewgnal]

lol lol lol, Wait till the carple tunnel sets in Z, boy, brings back memories, execept I was cutting 316L ss screen .023, it hurts to watch you... lol lol lol P.S. If I'm not mistaken ,Turn those Left handed sheers around the other way... Eay ?

[ZeroFossilFuel]

No, then I can't see the outside of the line. I need to get some right handed sheers. Eay?

[llewgnal]

Nice little punce press would be in order.

[joewilder]

I'm surprised you don't take them to a metal shop and have them cut.

[ZeroFossilFuel]

I WOULD except for one small detail. My slavery schedule working for someone else prevents it. By the time I finally got them cut, you would have all lost interest.

S__t, I can barely find time to get to the post office on a regular basis. Many times Saturday is my only opportunity. IT SUCKS!!!

[mikepowers420]

Zero, once again, Thank You.

Your step by step guide to building the T-Cell is very cool, and the name is reminiscent of the advancing tech in medical research. Repairing the body and planet while eliminating fossil fuels..

Peace.

[mikepowers420]

only on special occasions. I don't drink, so it's like a glass of wine with a 5 star meal. Besides, I don't want to cloud my mind, to many things to do and projects to complete. But once and awhile is cool.

Peace.
