Hi are you planning to run this cell on a vacuum? Oh And are the 2 connecting rods copper?

Ron,

Thanks for your post;

No they are 1/4" brass rods; when I first started the cell, it started to turn water to blue color. Now I have electric tape on bare area of the rod. I think I should have used steel rod but initially thought of having good conductor for the rod. Does it make diff? May be small, I do not know...

Vacuum, No sure… still wondering. I am not sure where I can connect in my Honda Accord. I can understand little-bit auto stuff but can not mess around too much. Can you direct me to any post that has vacuum hose connection? I would like to explore the possibilities.

Hi
Generally speaking everything that goes in the cell should be either Stainless steel or plastic/rubber for spacers etc. I guarantee you will have problems with mixed metals! The vacuum connection is normally made by using a 'T' piece in the pipe to the brake booster. The reason I asked you was that i dont think your lid will stand the vacuum!

Thanks Ron for your prompt reply. Ok, I got it; I will change to Steel Rods for now; hardware stores around my area do not sell SS Rods.

For the vacuum line, the Kitchen glass Jar/container & lid I am using is for experiment only….can you please tell me the container material for the cell and hoses you used to handle high-pressure from vacuum line? I am planning use 3” PVC (10" height)pipe for the Cell and 2” PVC (8" Height)for the bubbler.

FYI –I will be connecting six cells in series; planning to mount inside trunk and run a long hose under the frame. Please throw some lights on this arrangement/design I planned. Also, Is it safe to connect thru Vacuum line that is being used for Break Booster I have no idea, how does it works or what does it do in the car….
