High voltage HHO by IronHead

Thank you for the video post hartiberlin

In the second video he talks about "the plate configuration  is more important then the power put to the plates"

This statement is correct ,but it is not just the plates that are so important . It is the entire Cell stack design and build . As you have all seen here there is much more to this then just plate configuration. All the little details  about voltage leak,
plate dimensions, plate condition, water levels, water type ...
This all adds up to a good performing Cell .

Please experiment with these things and find out .
Thank you

Well, construction of my cell is well underway. I was able to get a fairly large amount of SS304 free of charge from a friend at a company that makes outdoor food vending carts. They generate lots of scrap. He was even nice enough to stamp out all of my pieces on a press. I know 316 and 316L might be slightly better but beggars can't be choosers.

Picked up some 1/4" x 18" x 36" acrylic at Home Depot. I was pleasantly surprised at how smoothly it cut with my jigsaw. Unlike Plexiglas that melts and binds up the blade, this cut like butter, no chips, no melting. Very nice. Cut a 2" wide x 18" strip then two 5" lengths from that. With masking tape I joined the two pieces on their edges lengthwise, flipped it tape side down and marked where my groves will go with a fine Sharpie. Using a carpenter's square to make the first score marks I'm half way through scoring the grooves out. I'm actually using a piece of the same SS sheet as a tool to create the grooves so that they will be precisely the same width as the sheet or just ever so slightly larger. Having the pieces taped together like this I will get perfect alignment on the two sides. If I had to do it again (and I probably will at some point) I will cut it a bit larger than 4" x 5", make the grooves first, then make the final cut lengthwise down the middle. It's a slow way to go but the results should be spectacular.

HD didn't have the Marine variety of Goop so I grabbed some 3M 24 hour cure marine adhesive. It's polyurethane base. I saw a few comments that it had not been tried but some were curious. Has anyone tried it yet? If so please tell me how it held up. If not, I will sail these uncharted waters and report my findings.

Cheers!

Add a frame piece to the bottom of the Cell to help the Cell from collapsing .
Glue it in all the way around . 1/2"  frame edge will do fine.

There have been a few reports of Cells collapsing with out a frame like four corner support.

Way ahead of you. I was actually planning on creating a bottom plate with, oh I don't know, 1/16" holes between the plates? Just enough to allow some fluid exchange and still lower the leakage current around the plates. Damn! That reminds me! I should be putting groves in that right now. Thanks I.H.!

If you put small holes you will need to pump water through it which I am doing in the Car Cell. Needs to be as free flowing as possible for the bench top version here. So big holes or cut it out all together

If you can set up a pumping system  go for it . There are some designs a few pages back or so if you need some ideas...  Page 85
