Saying Hello!

Welcome to the forums!
About the IH/debate thing: Don't worry when tension rises around here. It has a habbit of doing that when progress is/isn't being made. We all quickly agree to disagree and its all put behind us. So always make sure to contirbute knowledge even if it does go against the grain and will most likey end up in a debate. After all, if any one of us had all the answers we wouldn't need a forum, now would we? Glad to have ya!

Hey Dingus.

Yesterday about 2am I decided to go with series cells rather than direct current to every cell.  Then today in the light of day, I am still not sure.  The load of lye required to do series is much greater.  My head is swimming with all the possibilities.  What to do, what to do?

Tomorrow I am slowing down the prototype install to again re-examine the direct current plates before I install anything on the F-550.   I think the reduced lye is a good thing.   

Any thoughts on this gang?

I just added too much electrolyte today by accident... blew my primary fuse and burned out my coil (which I knew better than to use anyway). I have some hostilities toward electroyte today. So I'll tell you what I think tomorrow. lol.

But then, I'm still pretty green just yet. And to be honest, was kinda wondering that myself. First, I think on mine, I'm going to try adding the accrylic casement as IH suggested, and then reconfigure as needed from there.

I think my series cell looks like it should be making enough to fuel your cat. But when I measure my output, it all adds up to a mouse's burp.

@Dingus: I just noticed it was you who suggested (in the saltwater thread) to turn the cell upside down to find leaks. Your idea worked great. Thank you!

Yo, Mark:

If y'all will figure yer electrolyte concentrations in normality, it's a heck of a lot easier to keep track of it.   NxV=nxv is the formula to use.  A one-molar solution of KOH is about 56.1 grams of KOH (100%pure) dissolved in one litre of deionised water (or distilled if they lock you outa the lab, like they sometimes do to me <snicker>).

I use between  0.1 and 0.5 normal solution to get good plate action without drawing too much power, and this is for initial baseline testing.   After ya add circulation and cooling y'all can crank up the molarity without getting too hot.

Back to the heatlamp,

Turtle

Off topic:

Has anyone ever heard of anyone running the exhaust of a gas/diesel engine into the intake to re-burn all or part of the exhaust gases? 

Just thinking out loud.

Spray say 1/10th of your normal amount of gas into a mixing chamber of the exhaust gases and air and then feed this mixture in the cylinders.
