Bob's Booster On Demand (BOD)

Ok, be safe.

Just did a series of tests to learn about the effects of a magnet during electrolysis.  A magnet does have an effect on oxygen.
Conditions: small ss bowl (condiment cup (walmart $2)), magnet in bowl, spring water with dawn soap to cover magnet, magnet outside bowl, 12v negative on bowl, 12v positive in water.  When placed so that magnets attract each other, bubbles form toward outside magnet.  When magnets repulse each other, bubbles form away from outside magnet.

magnets are attracted

magnets are repulsed, I should have dumped water and started again, but you can still see the effect

using a bunch of magnets, just for fun, but effects the same

There are other ways of confirming this, but this is just how I did it.  I welcome your critique.

Magnets, Magnets ever where . Where did you get them?

Point taken and appreciated, Kyle.

But I also feel that one of the negatives of our cells is our inability to utilize the H as it is released; the H hits the surface tension and turns back down into the solution.  I am heading for a narrow top so that vacuum can have more of an effect to help efficiency.  It's all a learning process.

you could set up a system where water is drawn off somewhere near the top of the cell and pump it back into the cell using a small pump like a winshield washer pump. I plan on using that myself when I get started working on my own cell.

Got busy today and put a booster on the lawn mower.  I put a bubbler on it but cannot keep water in it.  The water gets sucked into the mower by the vacuum.  The carb had a cleanout plug in the manifold which was a great size so I drilled a 1/16th hole in it and put the bubbler line over it.  With as much vacuum as there is, the line certainly won't fall off.  I still need to play with the timing, but it runs as good as ever.  Not sure what to do about the vacuum though.  I want as much as I can get in the booster, but I do want a bubbler or flashback protection of some kind on this.  I have learned that I can trust my car not to backfire, but this old mower has points and an old voltage regulater that are way past trusting.
The booster has just 6 plates.  I wanted an energetic action in there.  Later I can add more.  I did not seal them.  Just popped it in.
