electrolysys with horizontal plates

[hartiberlin]

Hi Walter,
many thanks for the 2 movies. I have converted them now.
Here is the first one, where you show the better output of the right cell
horizontal plate design.
As you said, it is curious, that the horizontal plate design puts out more gas
at almost the same amps  and voltage !

Walter wrote me about the upper movie ( you must be logged in to download the movie), that the left horizontal cell works on all the plate surface mostly how a foam
generator as all water has bubles.
The vertical only has bubbles at the edges...
Both cells had the same sea-water ? with some KOH mixed into it.

The left cell with the vertical plates also produces chlor and will get bown colored.
but the right cell with the   horizontal plates  is totatly odorless and stays transparent ( white bubbles only).
The plates have all the same material and is brandnew.
The surface of the  vertical left cell is 168 qcm
and the   right horizontal cell has only  60qcm surface.
The supply voltage is 12V and the amps of both cells
is almost the same, although the difference in plate surface !

Yes I suspected that the right side was producing cleaner gas because of the colour. Interesting if you put two or three horizontal plates with a hex shaped appatures I would expect to see at least a three fold increase of gas for the same input power.

Here is the second movie from Walter attached to this message.
It shows, how he tried to capture the gas of the electrolizer and
that the gas pressure was not big enough to fill the ballon...
Maybe there is some leakage ? or there is a threshold, where the gas
will not be able to push and expand the ballon more ?

What do you mean by:
"horizontal plates with a hex shaped appatures" ?
Can you make a drawing of the plate structure please ?
Many thanks.
