In this video I show a very simple yet practical way to illustrate the lack of a magnetic field during the electrolysis of water. Many believe this field is what aids or creates the separation of the water molecules into the two gases - hydrogen and oxygen.

You might find this video interesting...

  • Mistaken test?

    Your cell sets the magnetic polar fields sandwitched together thus immediately canceling magnetic fields generated, but your comparison magnet fields are not cancelled/obstructed therefore the single magnet moves the water mag, but not the sandwiched magnetic fields from your cell.

    Also creating a longer aspect ratio like your individual demo magnets ~6x1 (HTxWD) should encourage stronger magnetic polarization. Remain logic and keep up the good work, good luck!

  • Quite true, but only in the sense of the material and knowledge I had at the time of this video.

    I would like to conduct further tests which would create a magnetic field during electrolysis; however, I do not have the time, budget or possibly even the skills to conduct those experiments which would make for an interesting piece of discussion.

    Thanks!

  • first Id like to say i have no opnion on if a magnetic filed will effect production. Id like to comment that all currents generate a magnetic field. As for your experiment the current in the HHO cell from plate to plate would make a circular magnetic field e.g. going down below the table and circulating up above the jar and back down through the table. your experiment with the floating magnetic would not detect that field if they are even strong enough to be detected.

    try turning plates on side

  • Another approach, thanks.

  • Why would you expect there to be a magnetic field in a flat cell configuration? Your conclusion may be correct about magnetic field not helping HHO production from water, but this test does not prove it. If your cell was in a spiral wire shape like a double helix then you may get a magnetic field produced by the cell. Also, the cracking of H2O liquid into HHO gas wouldn't provide a magnetic field since the equilibrium would not have been violated with + or - electrons in the reaction.

    Thanks

  • Don't take this as being arguementive but I think you missed my point of this video. This is video is in response to a change in thinking, my thinking, which relates directly to my plate gap theory.

    See my persoanl response.

  • Someone said it well, every current creates a magnetic field, LOL. DUH. Now, does it have any effect on the process of electrolysis? DUH, but can you use it to your advantage? That's to be determined.

  • When electricity runs there is always an Electromagnetic field, even in normal copper wire. It's not gonna be strong do, build a coil for that ;) wiki > An electromagnetic field (also EMF or EM field) is a physical field produced by electrically charged objects. It affects the behavior of charged objects in the vicinity of the field. The electromagnetic field extends indefinitely throughout space and describes the electromagnetic interaction.

  • Could the positoning of the magnetic field make the difference in aiding or slowing the production of H2. The experiments you quoted did the only try using my magnets in one direction relative to the cell or multiple directions. Current produces a margetic field so placing it in one position may inhibite the the flow of electrons and in the other 180 degree rotation could accelerated the flow of electrons,

  • you are on the right step water( distilled water) is actually a Dia magnectic

    meaning that its repulsive to a magnetic pull ( it will push away from a magnet)

    but if you run an electric current through any thing there should be some magnetic

    pull around it... if you really want to creat a magnetic pull in the water try using coils of stainless and run the positive in reverse direction as the neg like from top to bottom My first design was a lot like yours its very durable

    Keep it up

  • If you add a strong magnetic field using permanent magnets you can cause the liquid to flow and that might improve gas bubble movement.

    Search magnetohydrodynamics. MHD

    Also this video is very good: watch?v=Trvd2XOIeXY&feature=re­lated

    The work wasted on electrolyte movement might be the cause of reduced electrolysis. Use weak magnets?

  • I love your open mindedness maybe you can learn something from Craig Westbrook "pinemontgo" nt necessarily about magnetic fields created from the plates but how using magnets thenselves to create more gas.

  • ok this is where i am hope this helps some you need to look at h2o atoms and will find electrons positive and negative to test what is happening use a loose wire put a current throw it put it near a magnet the problem is in the n /s fields

    good luck

  • Enough intelligential folks in the 1930s/40s said Hitler was good, hind sight tells us modern folks .. different. ONE SHOULD QUESTION EVERY THING. NICE VIDEO, INTRESTING.

    Thom in Scotland.

  • seem diligent you are using non faris stainless so no magnet. the corona of the electric field splits the orbit of the h and o.note that production increase when plates are insolated in plastic.i will put the field coil to work with colector pick up
