Faraday's laws are not just applicable to hydrogen and oxygen, but any reaction that is occurring whereby charges are being exchanged at electrodes and new substances are being formed. Electroplating...

I see this all the time. A major issue seems to be that the science is simply beyond many people. Either because they have not bothered to familiarise themselves with Faraday's laws of electrolysis,...

Well thanks for elaborating Plasmaguy. All very interesting.

From what you have said, I would think that the NCE is sodium sulphate concentrate, hence Na2SO4 already mixed with water. It...

65mpg from 30mpg stock. Wow, that's more than impressive... that's amazing... and from just 5lpm!

From the first photo, it rather looks like your reservoir doubles as a bubbler. So how much...

What exactly is your non-caustic electrolyte? And why if it is so non-caustic does it say on the bottle, 'in the event of bodily contact flush with water'?

I'm no supporter of KOH or NaOH, but...

I think this is likely a very good explanation, because any water boiling off due to localised hotspots or even just evaporating due air currents and pressure variations will be only pure water...

Yes it does, and no, it's not different! This is exactly what I'm suggesting you are getting, and why there is still electrolyte getting to the engine.

Some confusion of terms here I think. Water...

Here's the thing though Stevo, water vapour is a gas (H2Og) and it is invisible, so you won't see it. Only when it condenses into liquid form will it become visible. So you are not seeing water...

Yep, the thing I've found is that the idea and design stage is quite easy compared to the often unanticipated problems and complications that arise in actually constructing a working model. :(

I see, it's not really about gas is it, as KOH, K+ or OH- do not leave the electrolytic solution as gases. It's all about some of the solution atomising an so (in liquid form) travelling with our...

I have to say I'm finding this all very odd.

What? :confused:

How can KOH be carried by a bubble? A bubble is just our required gas in the confines of a liquid film, but the bubble...

Hi Astro, I know it's not true of all electrolyties, but I did say 'if the electrolytic compounds play no part in the reaction you will only get oxygen and hydrogen', and by this I was assuming that...

I do not understand this statement. If the electrolytic compounds added to water play no part in the reaction at the electrodes, you only get oxygen and hydrogen produced, so what do you...

It all revolves around Ohms law, I= V/R. Increasing the electrode surface area and reducing the distance between electrodes are two ways of increasing the current for any given voltage. This can then...

No, it's an alkaline. I only use the stuff on occasions when needs be. Whenever possible I prefer to design my cells so that I get the required results from straight tap water.

Everything comes...

Not so. In the past my chemical of choice to be used as an electrolyte has been anhydrous NaSO4, because not only does it readily ionises in water into sodium and sulphate ions, and plays no part in...
