Has anyone tried deionized water? Just like to know as I have 5 gallons of it.
Deionized(DI) water should work about the same as distilled water. It is highly resistive. With proper chemicals like KOH, it should do just fine.Quote:

Here is a small video of the cell running on deionized water and NaOH.

some1 pls correct me if i'm wrong.... :o
c02cutter,
That production looks really good for 13.5V@10 Amps.
Good job.
