Testin phase

[sebaw]

Hi guys,

I am not new on this forum, i just don't post much. Been reading your stuff for over a year now.

This is how far I got, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmitm_pbY9w

You can see the cables burning in the background, but that's due to their thickness. I am using distilled water with about 5% KOH (by weight).

Don't know about amps or voltage across a single cell yet, though i am running it of a 12V car battery. (Only 6 out of 30 cells connected, there are 24 total in video, 6 are missing didn't put them in just yet)

Outside pipes are 17 cm long and the inner ones are 18, 1cm is left at the bottom for easyer water displacement and the spacing between the pipes is 1,5mm.

I'll have some more pics and info on it in a week or so, waiting for some cables and stuff...

Sorry for my english, I am from Slovenia...

Take care,
SeBaW

why are you using electrolite? condition the cells and you won't need any and your tubes will last longer....

Looks very promising, and your english, if you would not have said anything I would not have known it wasn't a first language. I look forwardto more.

some pics of the cell, or maybe i should say cells...

outside tube: thickness = 1.5mm , diameter = 16mm  , length = 170mm
inner tube: thickness = 1.5mm , diameter = 10mm  , length = 180mm

gap between tubes = 1.5mm
...

electrolyte:  5% KOH , 95% Distilled water

@Duranza: Don't want to use tap water, to dirty    am staying with distilled and KOH

Acrylic, with pvc gasket and a pressure meter up to 6 bars, bolted together for easyer maintenance...

but i guess more than 10 psi won't be necessary or wanted, i feel more like putting the thing under some vaccum and see what happens...

Holds about 7,5 liters of electrolyte when empty...
