    Aluminum!!!!!

    Just for all of those that were interested about the question, not too long ago about ALUMINUM!? I said I had something in the works for a model and would get back to you. As most people know, it has a "very" good conductive value, low corrosive properties, high availabillity (any hardware store), and easy to work with. I now have a 12 plate generator that is working on a 5 watt solar panel (that I test "any" design on, not to waste battery power). However, it has been producing gas for the last hour and and half at a rate at least double of ANY other material I have used in the pst. The best part is, it has NO CORROSION, NO POND SCUM, AND HAS NOW FROTHED OVER THE BRIM ONCE I ADDED ONE TABLE SPOON OF BAKING SODA!!! SOMEONE TELL ME QUICK WHY I DO NOT NEED TO CONNECT THE BUBBLER AND TRY THIS ON MY SVT???????

    What's up RANGER? Just so you know, the sun is now going down and I do not have the amp's I had when I first hooked this up. However, there is NO DOUBT that "IT WORKS", thus far much better than "ANYTHING" I have tried yet. LOT'S OF BUBBLES, NO CORROTION, LOT'S OF GAS, INEXPENSIVE, NOT SO SURE ABOUT THE FUMES THOUGH!? Unless someone has a "GOOD" explanation as to why I "should not" use this, IT WILL BE FUNCTIONAL, and a working design, on my favorite riding mower TOMORROW!

    aluminum

    No one said aluminum wouldnt produce HHO, they said aluminum will not last long and it cant be used with the good electrolytes like NaOH.

    THANK YOU, FINALLY A RESPONSE! Why will this not last as long? It certainly works "MUCH" better initially!

    I am very interested in your results. They sound great. I would like to know four(4) things about your system. 1) What temperature does it settle to? 2) The change(decline) in flow rate over time? 3) the inital thickness of the Aluminum plates? 4) How long the Aluminum plates last?

    Hi guys, my name is Martin and I am reading all over the place to build a dry cell. My apologies to stir up this post again, but I find very little (to none) tests with Aluminum plates. Did one ever test this?

    I also read it only produces hydrogen gas and not HHO. Does this has different effect on your enginer then HHO? Does the Volo can handle this as well?

    We have several cars and I like to try a dry cell for on our carboratored car to see what the results are, before buying the needed stuff for electronic fuel injection.

    Anyway... I was curious if one tried this set up with aluminum already. My main reason is that I would not like to have the side product Chromium and do not mind to have once in 6 or 12 months maintenance on my dry cell. (No offence, but one could also not drive forever without changing oil )

    Hope to get a reply

    I guess you have not been searching in the right places. NaOH and KOH dissolve aluminium quickly. Hence, they do not use them for long-term production.
    There is a carbon catalyst product which is being introduced to industries which uses aluminium and water to hake copious amounts of Hydrogen though.
    I believe it's called CC HOD. Check that out and see.
