RE: Hydrogen and Oxygen Separation - From Old Forum

"Chris, what it sounds like happened is your plates were not sealed to the chamber walls, allowing the current to bypass the center plates and effectively short out the cell from end to end. This will happen to a series cell arrangement that is not sealed. With 60 plates (59 cells), you should have had absolutely no bubble activity at voltages as low as 12 VDC, 24 VDC, or even 48 VDC. Any bubble activity at those low voltages indicates a current leak past the center cells."

Thank you Bob! Now that I recall I don't think they were properly sealed. I think I'll give this idea another go.

Thank you.

how big of a deal is the current leakage? i have 2- 61 plate cells with a 1/16 gap in some areas (the people who sheared the plates .. ). It seems to work ok??
If it is a big deal I was thinking that i could pour some heated fiberglass resin along each side to build the sides?
Or I guess I could go the hard way and just build a new box!

i am getting my plates sheared tomorrow will these things work with pluse wave generator [to run a 60 hp car] i was going to use around 64 plates at 14 gage 6" by 6". i dont know much yet but gives me some thing to play with.

Don't use anythig GLASS related when dealing with Sodium Hydroxide. You can have very bad reactions there

I need to find the old forum posts on this but we had several messages with sources given for reasons NOT to do this.

Does anyone have any good Ideas for a seperator between a 2 plate setup besides water filter material? -rodney
