i m a mechanical engineer ..i have designed a fuel cell as part of my engineering project...
but problem is its not working.
its a dry cell.
details
its a 7 cell
i used 8 stainless steel 304 grade plates of dimension 200mm*160mm and 0.8mm thickness
9 pvc spacers of 200mm*160mm and 3mm thickness and made a hexagonal large hole at centre of each spacer.
240mm*200mm acrylic backplates 10mm thick.
stacked and tightened it using bolts and nuts ...insulation tube is provided around each bolt to avoid contact with plates...
used 25% NaOH and passed power using 12v car battery..it dint work..then used KOH 28% that too dint work...but when i plced only 2 ss 304 plates in a jar and supplied voltage electrolysis started...i checked my fuel with multimeter and no shortage was found...
i was wondering if it has anything to do with my power supply...
the car battery i used had 9.16v in it and later the power supply i used had 13 volt but maximum 2ampere limit...no reaction was seen
PLEASE HELP ME OUT
