Hydrogen at home (Muddy Waters)#28

This video shows more testing on my dry cell sandwich unit in a 5 neutral plate configuration. It is unfortunately still generating dirty water, I think the gaskets are to blame. I also talk about the difference between parallel and series configurations, and why it is so important to understand.

well am 100% sure its stainless steel change stainless steel plates use non magnetic ss304 or ss316.and never use baking soda it is toxic bad for engine.use instead Potassium hydroxide(KOH).or Sodium hydroxide(NaOH).of course + destiled water

Watch video 31, from two minutes and 15 seconds in.

I am with SmartScarecrow on this one. Something in the water is reacting with the plates.

Neoprene usually does not react with the solution.

The last time I saw this color of output was when I used less expensive stainless steel where the iron was oxidizing the the released oxygen during the electrolysis process.

"If" it is what I think it is, "eventually" this should stop once all of the iron and ferris metals have leached out of the plates.

Thanks for the input, you're absolutely right, it's the stainless.

Markj30 I checked some of the comments on your previous video and you made reference to having salvaged the ss plate, so my guess is you don't know for sure what grade of ss it is. When you are cleaning it and it is apart check the plates with a magnet if the magnet has attraction to the plate it means the plate is not food grade 316 stainless steel.If you watch enough videos on youtube many others have had the same problem. good luck

Thanks for the tip.

The plates of a battery will oxidize under use. When you reversed the polarity you may have blown off oxidation on the plates like in a battery. Just a guess. I have not seen anything in a normal consumers price range that would run a mower at this point. I figure to run a small engine one would need somewhere near 9 percent of the CFM of air that an engine uses under load in order to get the correct stoichiometry. That is quite a bit of H to run a car with a small 4 cylinder engine. nice work

sodium chloride does that I found during my early stages of experimentation I find its salt that does that

Bang.... xD

Great video , very interesting...

PLEASE use distilled from now on!!! lol I use a 9" 5-plate and 6" 7-plate design using sodium hydroxide and 316L stainless, with no "brownage"

[richardlyew]

if you use 304 stainless steel it will break down and make the water muddy so make sure to use 316L, and dont use tap water, use NaOH with a little KOH. i think thats it

exelent.. fantastic.. y love.. this

Who knows for sure about the Hexavalent chrome, or chromate? It's got me worried =[

Ben.

[Sumermagor]

oh you don't do enough reasearch, its hexavalent Chromium(chromate) coming from stainless steel, stainless steel contains chrom 16% up to the quality

But when the water turns brown thats chromium, and its HIGHLY TOXIC,

Just flush it to the toilet or pour it on drain is illegal, Hexavalent Chromium causes cancer and lung problems

It's the damn baking soda. That stuff reacts along with the electrolysis process. It forms other stuff in your mix. Use sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide these are natural catalysts and will not react with the process. Baking soda will poison your cell.

You need cork gaskets
