Experimenting with Double Helix HHO

[europeanhillbilly]

Hey guys,

I just got my double helix "pattern rod" to wind the 8mm stainless straps around. The spacing between the grooves is 1mm. The thing weighs 6lbs
See pictures (sorry, took 'em with my crappy mobile phone camera..)

I also made a picture of my not very good freehand wound helices I talked about earlier in this thread.

Off to the workbench, bending some metal..

Sorry people, there won't be any progress on my side today... The straps wind perfectly around the rod (it's ultimatively helpful), but I need a transparent tube with the exact inner diameter, which I can put over my helices (they should expand themselves to the tube and hopefully stick there).

Hopefully I'm getting one tomorrow, gotta ask a local plastics fabricator to make the exact bore.
Or maybe does someone have a better idea?

Btw, the rod is 40mm (1.57inch) in diameter. Would've been pretty expensive if I had to pay for it The shop owner really is interested in what we're doing. That's a good thing.

....or how 'bout a double helix made outta these bad boys?  Or even better, instead of rectangular
pillars of ssteel tubes, why not just a bunch of the straight versions of these? Hmmmm...

Embolic Coils

Now that's an interesting twist.   Seriously worth testing.

Euro, will that not place 50% of the surface of the helix tightly against the tube and so make that surface unproductive, thus reducing output by half? Wouldn't we want the entire helix surrounded by solution?

Cross-hatch sanding the flat surfaces will also bring up production. I also noted that in the original double-helix video the spacing between twists was almost equal to the strip width, as opposed to very close as in your design. I'm not saying this is good or bad, just pointing it out. It will be interesting to see what works best or if there is any difference in production at all.

You do nice work. Look forward to updates from you.

@IronHead,

How is your DNA experiment coming?

I want the current go through the water where plus directly opposes negative. I think the outside of the helix is a point where electrons would leak without splitting the water.

That's correct. I neither know if that's bad or good I just thought less spacing would mean less electrolyte... Fordenergys water looks really messy, I want to avoid that

You do nice work. Look forward to updates from you.

Thanks, will keep posting here.
