Hi everyone,
I am new at HHO production and I still have some doubts that I think you guys could help me out with. I have constructed nearly all of my parts (water/electrolyte container, bubblers, flash arrestor, flash dissipator, etc.) but I am not quite sure on the electricity input.
I am planning on running different types of cells, some bigger and some smaller, from a socket using something to reduce the voltage that I am going to ask a friend of mine to put together for me so that I can regulate the voltage depending on the number of plates that I will have working at that given time.
My main question is what is better to use AC or DC? I have read a great deal on voltages but I haven't been able to find any information that I can use on that topic. Also I have not been able to get my head around how the amps work, how they go up and down. I am not an electrician and I do not seem to grasp how the amp changes occur. I know how to calculate how many amps should be going through every stack, but how do I control this so as not to max out the amps going through my stack? I have also read about different frequencies to take into account in some sources and others don't even mention this, should I worry about this information as well?
Yet another thought is why are straight plates usually used? Plates with a wave patterned (which would look like this ~~~~~~~ looking at it from the side) or a zigzag design would that not maximize the plates' surfaces and thus the reaction?
Hope that some good soul can clear things up for me,
Thanks in advance!!!
