electrolysys with horizontal plates

Hey Guys, careful with those Oxy/acetylene flashback arrestors!

I read somewhere that they are not good enough for hydroxy gas. They do make ones made specially for hydrogen applications.

Yes, for safety I would also always use a bubbler and
never store more than 0.1 Liter of oxyhydrogen gas and also never
in other cases than plastic.

There is a video on my site http://cmnet.ca/projects/imgp0597.avi where I am igniting the gas as it is produced and you can see what happens when the flame back tracks to the bubbler... made me jumpÃ,  You can see I had a small ball check valve to try to stop the back fire.

Hi pg46,
I heart this too but I also have seen vid where they was used with a real flashback and it did hold verry well. First I wana try it together with my bubbler and provoke a couple backfire to see how it holds up .

Hi stefan,
what I try to do is make it possible to get a easy setup if used in a car or generator, without multiple container.
A bubbler with only 100 ml of gas room is not much my bubbler has about 0.6 liter free gas room. this is the only reserve for compensation during change of load.
I did find another verry importand point that somehow the cells after shut off would syphone water from the bubbler back in the pipes towards the cells without checkvalves. why this is I dont know right now but I will try to find out .
Another point is that the cells produce much more gass if the circuit is open for free flow as like I did the pressure measurement with the gauge. Also by another experiement with the little 3hp engine and the engine air intake totally closed off and the hose from the bubbler put in the carburator did the suction from the engine pull the water and electrolyte in the connector hoses and only as I open the airintake with a little hole about a 1/2 diameter it would not do this.
greetings
