#032 C5 MadStu's WPV - First inspection of Cell 5 (Barbie)

The first inspection of C5. The top connections have melted right through the PVC as the weight of the cell brick pulled it down.

The gasket material which I'd used to try to prvent this unfortunately failed to insulate the PVC.

My 5 year old Daughter filmed the inspection process :)

My eventual goal is to power my van off of water - by extracting Hydrogen out of the Water and feeding it to the fuel mix chamber.

Thanks for all of you work and for posting. Best of luck on further endeavors...peace...j.o...

Thanks :)

I had the same melting problem with my terminals untill I turned the cell upside down and used what was the bottom of the cell for the output and and top.....if all electrical connections are submerged you dont get a spark to cause ignition either

[MadStu1978]

I agree, I think that's both the best and easiest solution. :)

I pulled some off earlier which I painted on yesterday, really tough stuff. It says on the tin it's good for insulating electrical stuff too, so I'm sure it'll be fine.

why yes i have, but i think that the liquid electrical tape would be better than the plastic paint.

[MadStu1978]

I think you have seen video #033, so don't need to tell you what I've used :)

[blazedkirby]

i have seen liquid electrical tape, that is like a glue, you should think about trying this stuff.

[MadStu1978]

I had used ss bolts anyway, so the heat would have remained the same, the thing is to use a plastic that wouldn't melt at that heat.

Like they said in the other comments, I could bring the heat down by using fatter bolts. Talking to other people They've also noted that it could have been my connections which need to be very tight.

I think a nylon sheaf would be a good idea, with a nylon washer over the PVC, shielding the PVC from contact.

Anyway, check out my reapirs! Uploading now...

hello stu do you suppose that if you used ss all threaad for the pos and neg post and plastic pieces to set it on that it might not get as hot.good job and keep up the good work your fan far
