Linnard?s hydrogen on demand system without electricity !

Never give up! Even silently, I know there are many as me that are are following your progress with great interest. I know from experience that sometimes obstacles may seem huge and discouraging, but in fact don't forget that you already crushed tons of them to get where you are now.

If this reactions are really overunity, I can bet that some leakage it's not the thing that will stop you (and us). Remember that you are motivation many of us, to which a success of yours will be the catalysts to build on.

Keep the good faith!

Great picture edelind 

It made me laugh, which is what I needed.

I think it is just the heaviness of the reactor that is causing some strain on the joints. Large fish tanks usually (as far as I know) have some type of framework to prevent the natural bowing tendancy. I think this is what I need.

Back to work.

Maybe some steel bracings on the bottom would help maintain shape?  Or double up on plexiglass at the bottom?  I wish I was there to help.  I need some myself! haha!  Good luck on your project!

Hi Brian,

Actually, plexiglas on the edges might not be a bad idea. It would help seal and strengthen it.

Good thinking!!!!!!

yeah, your glass is probably bowing enough to create gaps in the adhesive that are allowing the solution to leak out.
it makes sense that it doesnt leak when you fill it with water, but does leak when the reaction starts.
once the bubbles start forming, isnt the whole container "pressurized" in a sense?

yes, a metal frame might help, but what a lot of work for something that may or may not fix the problem.

here is a link to a bunch of info that should help you get some ideas:

my guess is that you are going to have to smear a bunch more silicone on all the inside corners, like caulking your bathtub.
also, i think the glass has to be cleaned with alcohol or something before applying the silicone so that it sticks.

one thing you might try is encasing the entire reactor in another layer of either glass or plexiglass.
this would thicken the whole structure.
also make sure it is sitting on a perfectly flat surface.

these are just guesses, good luck,
