new 72 plate dry cell

[pat1huey]

Now that is a very nice looking setup. Great fabricating skills my friend.

thanx pat

i hope to get it wet in the next week

very nice!

i like the copper gasket idea

[BruteForcENGINEering]

i think the idea is great to i just wish i could take credit for it.

i tried this once before it worked very well but it was hard to keep the copper dry. this time around i hope to perfect ironhead's technology

Thanks Bro . The Cell looks great ! Best of luck to you .

Nice looking cell man ......If I may give you a few tips on just having a top hole only ...

You will find that with 72 plates that the cell will be more efficient if you split it into to 36 plate stacks ..

I did the whole stack and it has problems getting the electrolyte evenly between the plates , that why i split mine....

One other thing that I have noticed with a top hole only is that a good 1 - 3 psi of back pressure is your friend, (cont)

[jdcmusicman]

It will force the electrolyte in between the plates and thus raising the cells efficiency .....

This has been the case with my experience any way ....

I have built both types of cells and the top hole only is the best in my book.....

I Look forward to your seeing your cell run ...

thanx jd

origiinally i did plan on one 72 plate stack, but i have arrived at 36 plate stacks instead.

in my old cell i had to circulate my elyte to keep it cool, with only one hole in the top. what is your experience?

[jdcmusicman]

On my smaller cells when driving them hard they would heat up rather hot ,but not hot enough to damage my gaskets....

Now on my big cell 72 plate one , I have run it for a solid 5 hrs at around 142 volts 9 - 10 amps with no heat problems...

The hardest i have run that cell is about 15 - 17 amps it got pretty warm but not warm enough to do damage ....

Over all I have no major heat issues with my big cell ....I'm confident that i could run it a solid 10 hrs at 10 amps , wouldn't have to worry..

Cool, no more current leakage!!

Love it!!

[BruteForcENGINEering]

with no equalization hole in the bottom of the cell i will eliminate some of the current leakage, but i will still have some in the top holes. thanx

[afdhalatifftan92]

Can't wait to see it running...

Lol!!

i did many configurations what i can tell you i could not bread the barrier of 6.4/6 mmw .

yesterday i did my test on a gap of 1/32 and 6 cells divided by 2 and completely electrically separated and guess what still in the 6. range i have 2 amp meters .one thing i am waiting for my KOH .i was using Naoh i hope i kan find a difference .keep on the good work

[BruteForcENGINEering]

you should get a little more out of it with koh.

im going to pay special attention to conections. i hope this will keep the heat down and raise eff.

good luck

[jdcmusicman]

Does using KOH really help that much ?

The only thing I have ever used is Naoh ..

[BruteForcENGINEering]

i have used both and found koh to be more productive and eff. mabe 10% more

[jdcmusicman]

If that's the case ..I need to switch ..If I could get 10 more percent efficiency that would put my cell up to about 6.6 - 7.4 mmw ...my cell normally runs between 6 - 6.68 mmw ....
