This is my 13 plate ( -nn+nn-nn+nn-) dry cell. I used Lowes 304 stainless blank switch plates. I modified them by sawing off the ends length wise, and flattening them. I bored the holes to 5/16 diameter. I used .045 contact shelf material as gasket. On the neutral plates I cut off two corners at a 45 degree angle. On the voltage plates I only cut off one corner at 45 degrees. I then drilled the holes for the brass connecting bolt in the remaining corner. For the end caps I'm using a cheap cutting board I found at Big Lots. I have a dual bubbler set up( cheap ziploc containers) with a hydrostatic connection. I don't have it connected in this video. I'm just using the one bubbler. I am only conditioning the cell in this video. I am using 5 volts with 2 tsps of sodium hydroxide to a gallon of water. I'm using my computer power supply that I converted into a Lab power supply. Thanks for watching. Sorry about the lighting. I think that's House on the TV that you hear in the background :)

  • why do they call this a dry cell? you don't use any water?

  • @Iseekoutthetruth No, it uses water and electrolyte just like a wet cell. The difference is with a dry cell you don't have the whole plate submerged in water. Only the plate surfaces are exposed to the water. The edges are not. This makes the cell more efficient. You don't lose any voltage due to parasitic leakage. You should also insulate the inside diameter of the holes that are in the plate for the electrolyte to pass through.

  • Good stuff man. Keep it up.

  • @rikkiesix I just took it back apart and I'm trying a different gasket material now. The shelf material was too spongy. The stuff I'm trying now is a rubber fiber mixture. more rigid. Thanks for watching! -Joel

  • @jab0805 I have an idea that I am working on. Run a generator on a loop from a 1hp 3/4 in. shaft compressor motor. I have a 4500w gen. I just have to look into pullys and belts to match.

    Just throwing ideas out there.

  • you got a video of how you made it? just a piece of advise if you ever take apart a microwave, check out my newest video to see why

  • @myhydrogencar Great info. Thank you. I plan to use this cell for testing. I'm hoping to power a sterling or steam engine eventually. I'm also working on a pulse motor using neodymium magnets and a special wound coil. It's because of people like you that we will someday be free of this oily chain that's weighing us all down. Keep up the great work! -Joel

  • @myhydrogencar Thanks for the info. I will do that with my next dry cell, an attempt to make a heating system for one room in my house.

  • @myhydrogencar I do not know where all the conditioning is good for. Can you explane why conditioning and then the change to KOH. I'm in to this for a few months now and all I have read is that you can use NaOH or KOH. Please point me to the info where I can read all about this. My DIY dry cells do not show any more hho after a few days.

  • A cell like that should be producing more hho. Put some more voltage on it with lesser sodium hydroxide. Build a measuring device to measure the liters per minute (lpm).
