That right folks! 5.92MMW with 1M KOH concentration (50g/L). Will be testing 100g/L then putting the Batt-Cell on the engine test stand for more run time tests.

  • Hey Z, seeing as how the anode and cathodes are submerged, due you think there woudl be an appreciable difference if you could get your hands on something more conductive then stainless steel? Woudl there be a way to work out the percentage gain from using such materials as GOLD/silver without the involved cost? I suppose making a cell out of something worse then stainless would give us a marker to backwards engineer the answer of eff.gain. Love your work.

  • @lynel1985 I think solid .999 silver and solid 24K gold would work awesome as plates. Only need 30 of each. Accepting donations!!! I'd also like to try platinum and paladium, solid of course.

  • @ZeroFossilFuel If you think more conductive materials would be an advantage then what would thinner SS plates do? I dont fully understand electrical stuff but as i see it, thinner plates would express any current with less resistance BUT trade off in increase heat transfer at any given current? possibly fail at higher ampres? local to me is a SS outlet that can stamp me 316L at a .3mm nomial thickness. Ive brought my fuel eff. car that i plan to push the KM/L (usual ways 1st like servicing)

  • @lynel1985 thinner ss is bad. Conducts even more poorly, creates uneven voltage across the plates. Always go as thick as practical.

  • hmm I know this is old, but have you tried to "Score" the stainless steel or add "Pits" to it. I noticed this when I had to 2 cells that were scratched and yet were doing better then my Shiny cells...I also just for the heck used the 2 carbon rods out of my fiances ever sharp (shh don't tell her lol) but the flaked out... literally... but dang got grate  production before they started to decay.

    .

  • A GIANT HI FIVE TO YOU SIR i love what your doing ive always had a interest in hydrogen fuel cells

  • lol the laser sign is cool and nice of him...

  • Love and Light

  • @ZeroFossilFuel , Hey I grabbed some 24k gold, I just posted yours! ;)

  • @ZeroFossilFuel , Gee great results there mate! Platinum is actually the standard for elctrolysis in text books.

    I have heard of some work with iron oxides, Haven't had a chance to fiddle with it.

    theory is its already oxydised, so therefore non reactive and stable. I got that from a Phd student working on Hydrogen injectors and hydride storage tanks. He wouldn't say to much because it was supject to IP and ongoing research.

    Not sure how they form the electrode. Best of all CHEAP!

  • Keep a gun nearby, Zero. ;)

    Very nice work...
