High voltage HHO by IronHead

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I sorta was looking for the floating ball thingy that actually shows the flow rate in real time.

The reason I hadn't considered the drum idea is because I want to avoid any vacuum or back-pressure from affecting the results. I suppose if the water pukin' hose is placed in the measuring container with it's level just below the drum, vacuum/pressure effects should be negligible.

Thanks!

Ah yes, sumthin' like this thang here

Bad part is, it's trimmed in gold.   Somewhere behind us in this here thread IronHead had posted an all plastic rotameter (that's what they're sometimes called) that could be had for a song, or maybe with the refrain added, I think about $20 USD.

I had an old MIG welder with the floating ball flow meter, and they use dial gauges now.   Mebbe a welding supply house might could lead y'all in the right direction.

That barrel idea might be a bit cumbersome haulin' down the beltway, uh huh ...


That discharge hose has to be above the water level in the drum, else it'll exert a vacuum till an air pocket gets in and messes with yer numbers.   Might could invert it in the measuring bucket to create a water interface, then lower it.

Back around page 35 (?) is a pic of my inverted graduate to measure <2Litre output.  It exerted a vacuum on the cell which profoundly exaggerated production numbers.  I'd rather pressurize it to a standard level and go from there.   Ain't got the VAC thang figgerd out, cuz manifold vac varies with throttle plate position.  I like IH's dual line and checkvalve deal- pull from the best vac available.

I noticed with this new cell I just finished that the container I had it in did not let the bubbles and the electrolyte flow thru it when I tested it. I am going to have to raise the level up just a bit I think by getting a deeper container. The electrolyte got hot pretty fast using 220 rectified. I just used some plates I already had from another project and up scaled it. These plates are 4 x 6 inch plates 1/4 inch spacing. Here are a couple pictures of it.

I think I have a couple of them that still has some oil on it or something!

WooHOO, reddb49;
Now that's a serious cell.

To get the 220, did y'all use two 110 recifiers in series, and were they powered on the same 110 line, two differnt 110 phases, or both hots of a 220 to the single rectifier?

Or, as I might think, yer in the UK and that's yer mains power?

Dang it...

This is both hots to a single bridge rectifier. I have it in my shop and my workbench is next to my breaker box. Just hooked the bridge straight to a 30 Amp 220 breaker, and run the negative to the neutral leg. Have everything insulated and very careful with it.
