Wiring My dry cell

or 8 N plates...

I don't think you would draw any amps with 8!

[H20 to HHO]

Well.... My KoH finally arrived finally..
I read that 2 lbs to 3/4 a gallon was about 28%, and the correct ammount so i added it in, reconfiged my cell to 5n 3. and my results were
25-28% elyte
20.6 Amps draw
and it took 1m 21s to make 1L

Then i fired together the 4n4 setup,
it ran at 65-70 amps,
25-28% elyte
and did about 3 LPM, or 19 sec for 1L..

Seems like i should allmost dilute my electrolyte little by little uintill my amps drop but i get the same production?
70 seems a bit overkill..

Both are running from a 12v deep cycle marine battery still with a 10 amp charger Running, totaling arround 14 volts.. seems to run the same with 12

if anyone can confirm with me about diluting, it would be great!

Thanks!

To control your draw, install a PWM (pulse width modulator) between the power supply & the cell. The 28% mix is good for cold weather as it does not freeze. You are right, 70 amp is way too much unless you have on big alternator.

Well i live in sunny southern cali, never gets cold here, Still stick with 28%?

[rcflyn]

That seems to be a debatable topic.
But, I for one, If living in an area where freezing wasn't an issue, I would NOT Use a 28% concentration. I would dilute it down to the point where it's drawing the amperage you are aiming for.

[H20 to HHO]

Im going to try to dilute my KoH, Since a PWM is expensive$$

Also i seem to getn alot of steam does anyone have a quick fix idea for that? i have seen a few designs.. and hve tried the scrub pad design with no results..

[lhazleton]

If you're getting steam, add more bi-polar plates. This will also lower your amperage draw.

H2O to HHO: what part of So Cal are you from? I live in Simi Valley.

[H20 to HHO]

i live in Huntington beach, Orange county

Also... diluted my KoH down to 18% and i still got the same LPM with about 60 amps.... im going to take another hit at it, and see how far i can bring the amps down
