i bet you are getting just a little anxious to see how much power this thing puts out! LOL
I am very interested on how this thing will work. I don't want to get my hopes up too high because I don't want to be let down too much, but I am hoping it does well enough to get a few hundred ml/min hydrogen output. We shall see.

do you already have the fuel cells that you need?
I have three fuel cells. If I max them for output I will probably buy another one. We shall see.

i remember at one point you were discussing building the fuel cell into the unit. where did that idea end up?
I had the platinum wire in some test cells, and this unit has the upper holes to test that for the future. Right now I want to get it going and operating for a long term test. The built-in fuel cell will be tested later.

cant wait for more youtube vids!
I will be posting as soon as it gets going. Thanks LC

Hello RR,

You are doing great work! I am new at this site and have been following along the last few days (had to read all the pages!)  I am starting to work on a HHO generator, but am following your progress as well.  I had a couple ideas, maybe you would like to incorporate them into your system.  I was wondering about converting a small amount of voltage into AC to help regenerate the zinc (maybe no switching needed?) or using a "water battery" to supply the voltage needed, get free electricity (.79 volts I think) from zinc and copper electrode in just a glass of water(seen it on youtube). 
Good luck to you!  If you ever need some things welded and brother-in-law cant do, we have a mig and tig machine.

Welcome to the forum Mark. Looking forward to your continued interest.

Here is the link for the water battery:  http://youtube.com/watch?v=b-GAvA0YCxE

As far as the using alternating current instead of using DC to charge regenerate the zinc electrode, maybe use a real small inverter or something instead of having to switch the current manually???  Don't know if it would work or not.

I am in Woodbury, NJ (near Philadelphia, PA), you would have to ship it, but for some reason if you couldn't have something welded for an extended time, I would be willing to help out in any way possible.

Hi Mark,

I watched the youtube video. He is essentially using the voltaic effect between the zinc and the copper. What is happening is the zinc is being oxidized because of the difference in the standard reduction potentials of copper and zinc. Eventually the zinc will be used up.

You are a bit far from me, but I appreciate your offer. I have decided to forget about welding the rods together.

Thanks for your interest.
