vacuum electrolysis

nice pic ! people likes plexiglass in their cells  wonder how good it works... anyhow i have a problem with my unit,i think one of the problems are bubbles themselves.As i see it ,the bigger the bubbles in volume the more surface they occupy when stuck to the electrode.And a bubble has to go up.When using vertical plates as on this pic u showed,the bubbles will have to slide on the surface of the electrodes.Comparing to the bubble under normal pressure,u have here less gas per volume of a bubble,so less gas will rub you a bigger electrode surface.Now multiply it by amount of bubbles u have... I feel that Amps will go lower and so the production of the HHO.Right now i am making a cell with ball electrodes,just to have the bubbles removed faster and to have even concentration of charge on the surface of the electrode.

Yeah I saw some steel ball bearings on ebay and had a similar thought.  There's an awful lot of surface area on a sphere... I wondered about charging them (using as neutrals) how the polarity would work out.  Seems to work pretty good for the earth and it's magnetic field, might work out good for us too.  It might be cool to do some tests with spacing.  Electricity takes the path of least resistance, but is the least resistance through the core of the ball or on the surface? http://stores.ebay.com/ToolSupply/304-Stainless-Steel-Bearing-Balls.html

i wanted to use balls because they have curved surface so the bubble will deatach faster from the top hemisphere,but now as i come to thinking it will have a problem with the bubbles on the bottom hemisphere(bubbles will still slide on the surface).So maybe half balls will be the best.I like the sphere because it has even distributed charge on it,so every part of the surface works the same load and i can exactly controll the currents and energy in the cell.If u could deliver the charge from the center of the ball it would have the same resistance to every point on the surface.So working with a half balls will be the best i think.u can connect the current at the kern and all the bubbles will go away faster.So the electrodes cluster would look like the eggs in the carton egg holder.Eggs will be the electrodes.

About the bearing balls,those ARE HARD steel.No way we could drill them,cutting into half may be easier.

ok i just saw ur link now,they have also soft steel balls,but it is in US,i am in Europe so i will have to find somone here around.

I am too, Germany myself.  I can get them shipped here though through the U.S. postal system.

heres my 2 cents, if under vacuum wouldnt that draw the bubbles to the surface quicker and possibly make them pop at the surface faster? therefore creating more usable electrode area? since most poeple have tiny bubbles that cloud up the water and kind of hang around in pergatory too long
