After watching this video i bet you had some heat issues because the galvanized coating is being burnt off or in other word being sperated from the metal by the electrical current....... Use stainless steel or aluminim and it will work 100X better!!!!!!
Stainless steel is the only thing that works well and doesn't corrode. To use anything else for a reliable source of HHO would be an expensive waste of metal. Copper works, but oxidizes very fast (in terms of a few minutes)... stick to stainless...
copper has a better rate of production, however you need to clean it more often, you could match the production with stainless but you need more amperage. i am going to experiment with copper spirals and see just how long it can go before it needs cleaning
yup ... if its gonna be sittin' in da' soup, it should be stainless ... you want to be carefull about using anything with silicon also ... urethane adhesives and sealers are less likely to contaminate your gizmo ...
And I've discovered that copper produces a pretty aqua-blue substance in the water. Trying different materials is interesting, but I think I'm settling on stainless steel.
the black bubbles could be a result of using galv. steel. I've used cans they used for chile or tuna and it produced green bubbles. Aluminum produced a dirty grey and so on.
the black stuff is coming off from the galvanized pipes its likely zinc saveit dry it then use the zinc for other experiments

i believe this blue water is more conductive also.

some people use silver and drink the water for health reasons its called colloidial silver or something like that I think
