This is an electrolyzer I'm building, based on the design which was presented by Scarecrow Labs. I am wondering where I should place the holes for best water+gas flow, while avoiding electric current leakage.

  • I tried 1/16" and 1/8" gaps. For our booster, 1/16" was a problem. The gas would build up inside the cell, causing the water level to go down, and of course, the current as well. Using 1/8" solved the problem. Also, we use KOH now and that works really well... and we use 4 neutral plates between each charged plate.

  • nice, u should kept the "handle" on the cutting board i think. :)

  • lol

  • which way does the water passing through the cell travel?

  • You problem with the Truck not running smoothly is the oxygen Sensor. A recommendation is change Sensor for ne if older than 40 K Miles. All a EiFi to the system.......

  • is there a way to make a dry/wet cell?

  • if you email me i will show you how to resolve your dilema in your next design, i will send you a drawing, i am working on somthing diffrent at present but i have spent 35 yrs in engineering and have a resonable mind, {advice} get a marker, and spend 90% of time looking at it and marking ideias, 3% time wiping marker off, 5 % time re drawing, and 2% building and drilling time. sit it by T.V, stair at it, think. LOL. it becomes easier...LOL. once drilled its hard to fill....lol... email me dude.

  • HI GUY nice job you done, just a comment or two, gas rises, you need holes at top of unit on plates to allow passage of gas, the holes you indicated near the bottom staggered as you say, would force water out of this location and it would be a gas reseviur, allowing sparks to be a possibbility, not nessisserily but still possible, keep holes to top, three holes in each plate, 1 hole exit for gas, but holes to top, no real need to stagger inner plate holes, N outer if .U. feel nessessery. ok.

  • To fix the issue with too much gas building up when using 1/16" gaskets, you could drill out a secondary exhaust port to relieve pressure and then run both exhaust hoses into the bubbler/reservoir.

  • According to Sid Young, who is now apparently working to one degree or another with EBN, 1/16" neophrene gaskets work quite well in a dry cell and amperage is kept within reasonable limits.
