Plasma Electrolysis by IronHead

[hkyle]

Ok here is my progress on my plasma cell...With this design it is very easy to adjust the rod and replace the stainless screen. For right now I have a 6011 welding rod for an electrode just to see how this works...The water come up through the bottom and i dono yet but out the top side somewhere havent got that far yet...my cell is being gooped up in a few spots right now to seal the water on the clear front plate. Took a break from the hho cell for a bit...where my slots are it is making my cell twist damb it anyway...

here is a pic so you guys can see and to let me know if this is a good idea or not...

Just so you know that is a round globe ss screan...hoping the plasma ball with stay in there...lol
should be a perfect sphere of plasma. hopin anyway.

Getting there , The plasma will just dance around the surface of the rod.
Keep going lets see how it works.

OK so the more rod you have is the ss screan the more or hotter plasma you have? Can you adjust temp by limiting the amount of rod?
Will that welding rod work? my thoughts are 60 bucks for 10 tungsten rods or 25 bucks for 100 welding rods...

I would think the welding rod would  burn up pretty quick , but try it .
Rod tip  between 1/2 and 1/8" will adjust the arc and the time it takes to heat the water as far as the arc temp there is no way to adjust that. The plasma burns at it temperature there is no changing it up or down. The key is to get a good stable arc you will know when you have that , when you do that is where you want the tip length to stay .
The more stable the less you spend the rod  on pure tungsten anyway.

OK I will fire this guy up tomorrow after the goop dries and do some figuring.

Will that new chapps controller work for a power supply...I know 120v and 120hz will work for now but you also said that in order to keep the rod lasting as long as possible you should pulse the juice. This will keep the rod temps down and also help cool the rod so it can last longer.
