This is part 4 of a very long and probably boring series of videos on building a dry cell from scratch. I am trying out a gasket variation that I dubbed the Mars gasket.

  • hi guy.

    intresting videos.

    but basic engineering ....... never double up gaskets, your doubling up a problem for the future..... never double gaskets. 1 gasket 1 space.

  • Hi Thom: I understand that more parts equal more possible points of failure. If this design was mass produced a one piece gasket could be molded into the proper shape. I needed the double gasket to form the flap to back up the holes. I wanted to decrease the likely hood that the current would follow the electrolyte and jump through the holes. (Electricity follows the path of least resistance.)

    The concept seems to work as I planned but the brick needs some design work.

  • Why are the gaskets so thin please ?....

  • Hi freedombiteback: The thinner gaskets you can use weaker electrolyte and still get good production. Also weaker electrolyte makes it harder for the current skip one or more plates by following the electrolyte and flowing through the holes.

  • I should also add that when the gaskets are thin it is more important to have very uniform plates and very uniform gap thickness. The thinner the gap the more minor irregularities affect voltage variations.

  • Hello my friend, live in Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, can not speak English, I used Google translator to ask for this information, ask if you can send to my email all information required in this event, as well as measures and plate thickness and necessary equipment, spinning very grateful for information, send to my email amauri12009@uol.com.br, a grid hug Amaury Correa da Fonseca.

  • Many Thanx mars..........
