High volume gas production at 12,6 Volts and 10mA !

[Paul-R]

Surely we should avoid biomass etc as this will produce CO2.
Aiming for generating H2 and O2  and being able to use this mix is
better. Is this not Browns Gas? Is ther eOU performance associated
with Browns Gas (and underwater welding)?

In the "hydroxy" YahooGroup, they say that there is a distinction
between producing:
1. H2 and O2
2. HHO (whatever that is)
3. monatomic H and O gases

Can anyone shed light on this?

Hello all,

i'm new in this forum but i believe that this ovservations of electrode shapes and H2 produktion is one of the interesting aspects.

I observe the same behavior at my electrodes (plain plates). At the edges there is almost more H2 produced as at the plates self.

I think we shout spend a little bit more investigation what is the reason for that.

Greetings,

Lets say we have a mild salt solution (NaCl),

Cathode reaction =     2e- + 2(H2O) -----> H2 + 2(OH-)
Anode reaction =  2(H2O) ----> O2 + 4H+ + 4e-

No, avoid NaCl!
You won't get O2, you'll get Cl2 in stead!
Use NaOH or KOH instead since you then only add the Na/K ions as 'contaminants'.

Partly true, only under high Na concentration. Normally Cl gas is liberated only from molten salt solutions during electrolysis where both sodium (Na) and clorine (Cl[g]) is produced. This could be looked at in the following shor reaction 2NaCl ----> 2Na + Cl2

Where in a weak solution the reaction is not the same. The electrodes do indeed give off H and O as desired. NaCl does less damage to internal cell than sodium hydroxide because most over the counter products contain Al flakes which is the reaction material when the Al oxide is removed and heat is generated to clean your drain.

It is far better that in experimenting that one use something such as NaCl to be on the safe side until a final working system is fully designed.

This is my first post here hello all. First of all this is a little off subject im sorry. I have no electrical expierience at all but i am a machinist looking to buddy up with some one from around mi. to help aid in cell design and function. After watching and listening to alot of idea witch there all good if they head us in the right direction. I was wondering if some idea's are intentional in pushing the wrong direction. I think the oil industry has the know how right now to use hydrogen but selling it and keeping the profit in there pockets is there problem. They also know grass roots level of people are real close to busting them.  good luck to all. lets put them out of business .  Please e-mail me at bigjohn070@comcast.net thank you.
