Electrolysis Project Page 24

Big enough for you? The flame is orange but the crappy camera shows it as a sort of green. I am sorry for that. If anyone cares to donate a better digital camera to my cause, I will put it to use immediately! :)

Here's a dark background for another impressive shot of the little flame that could (could burn the crap out of me! -That's for sure).

I have some nice big darlington transistors that I got on e-bay and I plan on using these to do my frequency testing now. I just need to get an isolating transformer or something, so that I can stop the shorts that my elementary circuit is causing. I just want a simple way of varying the frequence of about 150 volts of rectified current.

Stay tuned, as I will be doing more work tomorrow I hope :) Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and welcome back!

This is the set of new Darlington Transistors that I purchased on e-bay. They are quite mighty looking no? :) I think these should help me out while doing my testing with frequencies!

This is the circuit diagram of the transistors.

I will put a much better picture up later on, but for now, this will have to do. It is a quick and dirty picture of a new and relatively safe design that I came up with for storing smaller quantities of hydrogen/oxygen fuel. The system is pressurized by the water on the top bottle pushing down on the lower reservoir bottle.

A power shutoff switch could even be activated by a float in the top bottle to turn off the electrolysis action. If that fails, you could vent the top bottle to the atmosphere outdoors via a tube to a nearby window or something. For now this drawing is a primitive representation of the 2 liter storage system :) You can build it for under 10 dollars! -As stated, I will improve the drawing later. I just wanted to get this up tonight after seeing a friend's setup. It scared the crap out of me looking at what he was doing so in fear for his life, I quickly drew this up for him to hopefully try. -Let me know how it works, if you should build it Mike!

One last thing I forgot. The only manual needle valve (shutoff valve) you should have in the system is AFTER bubbler #2 up where I show the torch. The cap on bubbler #2 could have a needle valve built right into it. Above that you have the barbed connector for tubing to your applications (torch or whatever).

Ok I lied, one more thing. The electrolyzer and bubbler #1 can be on top of the table really. The only thing you truly have to have below the table is the reservoir bottle. That must be down there, to become pressurized by the 3 liter bottle on top. Just put bubbler #2 far away from everything else on top of the table. Keep safety first in your experiments!
