A completed Hydrogen Generator Casing

I completed, mostly, a casing for my Hydrogen Generator. I still need to do a few minor refinments like sealing up some more leaks and maybe re-configuring the cell itself. I will let it run for a while to "Condition" the plates, then I will disassemble the cell and clean the plates totally, and maybe "Scrub" them with a file or wire brush to rough up the surfaces. Doing that will add more surface area. This thing turned out a lot bigger then what I had envisioned. But I think there is enough room under my hood to strap it in.

Hydrogen is a very tiny atom.

It can get out of places that other things can't. Cells that will not let water and regular air leak out can still allow hydrogen to be released almost unhindered.

But I see you figured that out already. ;)

You will want to stay below about 140 to 150 Degrees. PVC starts getting soft about those temperatures.

Good luck.

I had suspected as much. Thanks for confirming that for me. That clarifies some issues I had with other designs. Keeping the temps down under the hood will be a problem. Especially here is Kansas where it can regularly get into the 100 degrees in the summer time. I'm thinking of an external coil sitting in front of the radiator to help with that. I've also got a cordless drill to make a PWN out of.

Nice vid. Consider wrapping your cell to mitigate parasitic current loss and leakage. Last night I wrapped my 3 plate cell with an empty plastic Aquafina bottle. What is your preferred electrolyte. I just started using sodium acetate (white distilled vinegar and baking soda; stuff on some potato chips).

I've heard of people doing that. So I'll probably give it a try. My electrolyte is just baking soda. I like it because it's easy to obtain, It's safe and easy to handle. And I am not entirely sold on the idea that most other electrolytes are really any better considering the materials and caustic nature of some of them.

Pick up some more Holes on 6th street hu, you must be in Austin Tx, because 6th street is holes street and porn shop street lol,Don't put Positive and Negative connections on top of the cap,put them on the side of the PVC pipe under water level, the post will stay cooler, use rubber grommets with the nut made in, seals better,come look at my HHo 4 gen build video, think you'll like it.

I made a hydrogen generator identical to that. Not quite as big, but made out of the exact same pvc pieces. Anyway the problem is the bolts for your anode and cathode get hot when the water level drops. The water inside keeps the anode and cathode cool. Mine melted around the holes I drilled for the bolts every time. You might want to plan a head for that. It would save a lot of trouble. I never did find a way around it. That's why I updated to galvanized pipe. It doesn't melt very easily.

Good job! Can't wait to see what happens next.
