Amps or Volts or Both?!

Need some explaining...

What was expected did not happen for me. Ideas, suggestions, and comments welcome!

Plates is not the direction that your looking for high efficient HHO production.

All I can say is this.

Think of HHO and remember this in your construction of your hydrogen generator.

The nagetive plate produces hydrogen and

the positive plate produces oxygen.

This is all I can say for now.

Peace.

You maybe correct but for now, plates are my interest.

Thanks.

Some of my best efficiency numbers (MMW) came from configurations where the output was only 250ml per minute for a cell package that could easily generate 1.2 to 1.5 LPM if pushed.

Your best cell configuration is probably going to be some sort of compromise between best efficiency and satisfactory output volume.

Thanks Luther.

After a good nights rest I basically came to the same conclusion as you just stated. In my quest for best efficiency I've neglected the fact that this doesn't necessarily translate to best production. ;)

I think I may be onto something. Watch for my next Plate Gap Theory update. I may have been looking at cell construction from the wrong perspective.

Less gas output is probably from more current going towards heat production rather than gas production as you increase the current being passed.

I believe that you need the per gap voltage down closer to or below 2.2 volts.

Which probably means you may need 1 more plate on each half of your cell or apply less total voltage to the cell.

You probably also want closer spacing of the gaps to bump up efficiency.

You can get efficiency too high. Higher efficiency usually means lower production.

[lutherp40]

Your voltage is dropping as a function of increased current due to the fact that you have the shunt wired in series with the cell. (well some of that is draw down of the batteries themselves)

I have seen that in a number of my duration tests. (see any of my data PDF files I have posted.)

You also have to consider solution temperature. Increased temperature "usually" results in lower volts, higher amps and more gas when everything else remains the same.

Let me re-watch the video.
