HHO separation during electrolysis

A simple yet effective way to separate the hydrogen and oxygen gases formed during HHO production. This idea was partially based on the Hoffman Voltameter.

cj which cylinder producing a which gas, possitive terminal H2 and negative O2 but how you going to test it, you have to go through different baths. as O2 helps to burn and H2 flamable.

The positive electrode will produce oxygen gas while the negative electrode will produce hydrogen gas using KOH as the electrolyte.

This was just a video showing how easy it is to construct a simple device which will separate the two gases at production rather than later.

Yes, I think a lower Ph is the way to proceed.

I use baking soda with distilled water. What I have done is to wrap the rods themselves in

four (4) layers of pantyhose, yes pantyhose.

This allows the electrolyte to connect to both rods. In addition, I have baby plastic funnels at the top to channel the gases and segregate them, with equal bubblers to balance the pressure. I am getting very pure hydrogen this way. My next upgrade will be SS boiler pipe w/ fins for rods. Sorry, I have no

So, you have the two electrodes in separate chambers? I quest I am not understanding or at least I am not able to picture your setup.

If you wish, you may send me a sketch to cjpeacefulatcharterdotnet

I have been also working on separating the gasses. Where do the two tubes share the electrolyte, at the bottom? It's hard to see in the video. It would seem the more openings you have for current to travel across the gap, the higher efficiency you'd achieve, but then you have to be careful the gasses don't mix. Nice job.

withwhatyouhave, the electrolyte is indeed shared at the bottom. There is a gap approx. 1/8 x 3/8 (vertical) between the tubes.

I too believe opening the gap would yield better efficiency and that is what I am curretly working out. But, and this is important to know, Lye or KOH only has so much potential in carrying a current. So, the spacing between the electrodes is also important. I'm going to try an acid or alkine next, rather than a base, and see if I can't achieve better results.

have you thought of using two different eletrolytes one in each chamber and separating the adone and cathode by a neutral conducting plate I did this but with 1/16 round SS pipe and double my production when I started using different eletrolytes for the anode and cathode.

[mashpaters]

I made a small HHO machine and it is made of 4 AA batteries, electrical tape and twisty ties. Because the twisty ties are iron, the negative terminal instantly rusts due to pure oxygen. It's pretty cool!

Good job!!!

i´m having some problems at the separation you need that the electrodes share the electrolyte right?if a use ClNa as electrolyte i´ll produce H2,O2, NaOH, Cl2 yeah? i found (wikipedia) that if you mix Cl and H2 they will explote any idea to how avoid it?

[Azasael]

Exelent work :)

[syikin123]

H2 flamable , it will explode when u spark it... but O2 not explode...
