Meyer type WFC - from design and fabrication to test and development.

Nice setup you have there!  So what are you going to drive the cell with to begin with?

Hi SG

While I have the materials to construct my full prototype, I've actually built a small test cell for some initial experiments.

The first thing I will be doing is a contolled experiment. I'll be dropping the test cell (unconditioned) into de-ioised water and comparing dc electrolysis against pulsed under the same conditions.

I expect dc electrolysis to produce next to nothing in terms of gas. If I get any amount of gas production from dc pulsed then I will hope to find out why, with my test equipment at my aid.

Test cell from the top.

As I'll be using a function generator to provide my pulses during testing, I don't need the 555 timer chips, just the transistor output stage to switch the power.

To this end I've attached a schematic of the output stage I'll be using. Power will be provided by my Farnell stabilised PSU set at 10 volts.

My power transitor output stage built and ready.  This output stage should be able to take the inductive load of a car ignition coil if I want to experiment with some high voltage pulses... but that's later.
