HHO Generation - Experiment 3

In this third experiment I used type 316 stainless steel wire, wrapped in a double-helix (alternating positive and negative wires) around a nylon support, immersed in tap water with one teaspoon of baking soda. It's running at 12 Volts, PWM modulated, and as you can see it draws 4.1 Amps.

Using SS316 wire wrapped as a double helix coil seems to make less hydrogen than using SS304 concentric pipes (i.e. a Joe cell). The bubbles also appear different, they are much smaller. I read that coils produce parahydrogen gas, which is more stable to burn than orthohydrogen produced by tubes or plates.

If you can just use stainless steel instead of fancy platinum and such for electrodes, I may have to get back into amateur electrolysis. Now where's that old computer power box?
