Last weekend I went to Lowe's and bought everything I needed to make a dry cell. I bought 18 plates half of them were from Home depot. The quality of these plates was really bad, they were very magnetic and corroded surprisingly fast. Then I bought a bunch of stainless steel hardware, Pvc pipe with caps, barbs, tubeing, and 60 ml shower pan liner. I went to work cutting the plates making neutrals, Positives and negatives. After that i cut out the gaskets and i thought i had it looking pretty good.

I spent all of Sunday cutting all my gaskets and plates. I even took the plates and I even sanded where surface that is going to be in contact with the solution. I put together the actual cell by cutting the Lexan i put together a neat little cell. The plates have 1/16 spacing between them.
That is a picture of an 8 plate cell i tried half the plates to try a different wiring solution. I changed my wiring to +NN--NN+
No matter what I tried this plate did not produce any actual hydrogen at all I tried it with a bunch of different power supplies, I used baking soda as my electrolyte. Can someone help me out or something this ended up failing hard haha and that was after trying a bunch of different things. Just in case your wondering I used about 1/3 of a tablespoon to 5 cups of water in my test at 18v 3.5 amps, 17v 2.5 amps, 12 volts at 1.5 amps and 12v with im not sure how amps at least 20 though. So let me know what you think i did wrong this is my first attempt at this stuff.
