Hi, I am wanting to build a 12v hho generator that doesn't use an electrolyte, just plain tap or distilled water. I have built 1 generator so far that I run off of rectified 120v ac. But in order to get good gas production I had to apply about 12v to each plate. I now that you only need about 2v per plate to produce hho, but I did not have any gas production at that voltage. Is it really bad to apply more volts to the plates? I mean I know you want to keep the voltage pretty low, but if I am not using a catalyst will I have the same problem with the plates deteriorating as if I was using a catalyst?
The reason I don't want to use a catalyst is because of convenience, and I heard of people corroding the aluminum parts of there engine from this.
