The downfalls of conventional electrolysis - and how to fix them

[slapper]

here is a pdf on drano <-- i spelled it correctly the first time

Breathing any form of aluminum as an
airborne contaminant is very unhealthy.

Please be careful.

Um...Not sure how to post pictures here....

Basically I use 1" PVC pipe, nylon nipples both ends.  Pipe is 16 inches long, 12 inches of it wrapped 6 layers deep in 22AWG magnet wire.

Outside the magnet wire is a steel pipe slid over the top to effectively enhance the core strength hysteresis curve will slow it down a touch, but the ferric ringing will smooth out some of it.

I plan on connecting to ONE phase of the alternator, and seeing if it can run a 4 cylinder car.

The solution is ROEBICK drain cleaner, which is listed as 100% pure NaOH, sold for $8 for 2 pounds.  I completely filled the chamber with the NaOH, then connected the water line, hydrogen output line and bubbler.  I put the entire assembly into a concoction of my own brewing before adding the water.

The cooling brew was simple:  steel bucket about 6 gallons MUST be used because the HDPE 5-gallon plastic buckets shatter too easy.

Get 4 gallons of isopropyl alcohol, and 10 pounds of dry ice.  Add dry ice to the alcohol and stir using a metal rod and some damn good gloves with pot holders.  Keep doing this until the dry ice is all gone.

Now put the assembly into the bucket, and add water through the hydrogen output line.  As the solution tries to heat up, the supercooled alcohol keeps the temperature down and you don't melt the plastic.

I noticed a lot of things here were copy/pasted from AlaskaStar's thread, but without the garbage and mud slinging. 

Also the claim that it would be the first time cold fusion was proven going to Oswaldonfire...I beg to differ.  AlaskaStar published a powerpoint which a frame was referenced previously back in 2006 or 2007?  Need to double check that.  I also note that John Kanzius patented it AFTER AlaskaStar's powerpoint was published open-source...which should nullify Kanzius' patent.  So I would opt to give the credit where it's due.

I certainly give credit to Oswaldonfire here for making it elementarily simple for people.

I have pictures, but I won't have video until the rain lets up.  Cameras and torrential rain don't mix very well, and neither does my experimental time. 

Back to work...

Forgot to mention that the NaOH can be bought at Lowe's. SKU# 146450 2lb ROEBIC HD DRN REMOVAL.

It's on the end cap near plumbing at both Lowe's stores...so I imagine it's the same elsewhere.

If the rain doesn't let up, I think I will just put a big ballast resistor on it and plug it into the wall outlet and measure the hydrogen output.

Yes  Many thanks to Oswald,

Sounds very aggressive!!
NICE!!

@Airbag where did you find that info? staggered / multiple coils?
