My tests and pics and etc

[mytoyotasucks]

Ok have been using my bath type cell for 4 months now with a 4 plate design = -nn+.

and have pics of the PVC container and plates after that time.

And the biggest problem(why I removed it) was that one of the SS straps i use from bolts to plates corroded or burnt off due to bad contact, caused by a loose bolt, as seen in one pic - looks like it heated and melted.
but the electrical tape stayed on the straps - not the plates.

will be going to dry cell like painless.

As always - would like feedback, thanx D

Picture # 2 looks like your bolt got a little hot. This is usually caused by to much voltage per plate gap. I had that happen on one of my first designs. The +||- setup is ok for a 6 volt vehicle, not a 12v system. I would suggest on your next version, go with +|||||- and increase your electrolyte slightly for better production and less heat.

Ok went to -nnnnn+ all used plates

and results after 75 minutes.

Voltage 10.7
Amperes 14
Seconds 60
Milliliters 850
Total # of Plates 7
# of Cell Stacks 1
Barometric Pressure 1017
Gas Temperature: 88Fahrenheit


Your MMW= 5.67
Theoretical Volume produced
by 100% Faraday Efficiency Milliliters 974
Your percentage of
Faraday Efficiency 87.3%

better than i thought.

Those are some good results with only 10.7 volts and 6 plate gaps. Great Job! You and others have made this work while every time I go below 2 volts per plate gap I am left with a headache. Maybe as Russ suggests it is die ti plate size. What are your plates spaced at?

i use 1.8mm nylon washers or 0.071 in.

and ive not been able to do this with new plates - even new preped plates - 304 SS switch plates.

Maybe that is my problem. IMPATIENCE. What has happened to your mileage since removing the cell?

ya before i tried a smack, and could get near no production, that why i went to the 4 and 5 plate designs.

added pic of what the plates looked like after i took the cell apart.
Notice that the electrical tape held up better than the shrink wrap.

and I also found that the dark plates will produce more than new preped plates.

now to burn "in" the new plates.

Might be diff for ither types or plates(316L), i dont know -only have one plate of 316L - 3X3".

OK new dry cell tests

not sure if im doing this right but : 7 switch plates , and here is the results

Voltage 13
Amperes 4
Seconds 110
Milliliters 5000
Total # of Plates 7
# of Cell Stacks 1
Barometric Pressure 998

Gas Temperature: Fahrenheit: 97

Your MMW= 5.244
100% Faraday Efficiency Milliliters 528.4708
Your percentage of Faraday Efficiency % 94.61

ok I know its low amps, but need to mix a better sulution of electrolye.

and this is my first test of it after running 40 min, wanting to see if my gaskets will hold up.

vids ov my new dry cell.

So whats your MPG with no cell now?
