Hi,
I am intrigued with what this brian martin cell is telling us, but even more so with what has not been said, or with held.
Quiet simply he is saying 12mmw, but without heat so therefore it is true HHO and not a high percentage of water vapour. His copper cored electrodes are reducing the cell resistance. I would therefore think that he is able to get his voltage across his plates very close to the reduction potential of 1.24v. But he is not saying this ! In fact if we look at his 9 plate cell it is actually 3 double plate series cell. He does not state what voltage he is using but does say that the 9 plate design would make an ideal car booster cell, so therefore I can deduce that he is using 12v supply. This would mean 4v across each set of plates………….
In his 36 plate design, if he is using the same supply voltage then he would have only 1v across his plates with 12 series plates……….
bob boyce recommends only 0.25amps per square inch, which he looks like he is using.
I think that a good cell design is all about balance……..or not supplying an …….supplying more energy than is needed for electrolysis, in the form of over voltage or too high a current density means the energy is wasted in heat.
In short he is using 4v per cell and not isolating the cells against current leakage, these are two reasons why I would doubt the 12mmw figure.
Being positive, maybe there is some credibility in the way the current flows though the cell. Without going into lots of detail, it is worth looking at mrgallerias’s spiral cell on his project page.
