How is Citric acid mono Hydrate different from regular lCitric acid? And where did you find it?
I could not find Citric acid at Wal Mart.
~Hey again
To answer some question the citric acid mono-hydrate can be found online from diy soap making, its fairly cheap although they get ya with the shipping because they have to send it ground only, because it is a chemical. Taking 10-15 days, but you can get i believe 10 pounds per order because of ground weight limit, so i bought a lot. The reason i said citric acid mono-hydrate is because that's the fancy name for citric acid, its the same as saying citric acid.
~ On another note i also wanted to say make sure if you use citric acid in a cell whether it be wet or dry, first make sure you keep it cool because it will raise in concentration as water is steamed off, also water used in the production of HHO slowly will raise the acidity raising the amps. Second have a way to control the foam because it make a lot of it, this is because acid's has a higher surface tension. I have been playing around with my water softener housing with the addition of a couple of scotch-brite pads used to block the foam and break the bubbles, and it has been working. My computer water cooling pump also help control the bubbles by spraying a beam of water at a screw which breaks the beam into a mist of water like a sprinkler on the lid of my filter housing. I hope to have a video soon, because i have notice you can let the cell build about an inch and half of foam on the top of the cell, then turn the pump on and the production seems to go up on the bubbler, i think this is from the inch and half of bubbles that can form at the top being popped.
Hope this Helps

~ I got a new Cell plate setup coming soon, i ordered 15 4x4 304L Stainless with less than 0.08 Carbon Steel it also was annealed making it even less corrosive and magnetic. Any ways spacing will be no more than 1/8" hoping to get 1/16th of a inch. The plate orientation will be - n n n n n n + n n n n n n - this should give me a 1.9V drop between each plate on a 13.6 V system, also gonna be messing with lower Volts per plate like 1 to 1.5 V (+ n n n n n n n n n n n n n -) with the citric acid to keep steam and the heat down.
~ Thanks for the info, what would you arrange polarity with 13 plates, would you do a + n n n n n n n n n n n - giving you a 1.14v or would you do the double cell in one, which is dbl that so like 2.3v, either way i can play around with the number of plates with this electrolyte and see what it likes the most thanks again for the info
P.S. i have heard that heat effects how much oxygen (less heat makes the oxygen bonds release closer to the rate of the hydrogen bonds) is released from the positive sides of the electrodes, has anyone else heard this claim?
I would arrange 13 plates +nnnnn-nnnnn+. You wouldn't have any heat issues,but your amps might be a little high.This is providing you have a true series dry cell design like a tero.
~ Hmm seem to like it the reverse of that 2 two negatives plus if you don't have a larger negative contact than your positive to accommodate for the Chromium 7 oxide produced it builds up in your electrolyte and i don't want cancer.
P.S. Hydrogen has a more protons than electrons which makes it a positive ion so it is attracted to the negative electrode therefore more negative surface area the more hydrogen can be attracted to the plate.
