Linnard?s hydrogen on demand system without electricity !

Possibly a better source for reactor building material.

Just glue together with thick acrylic cement.

I believe I will try it in the future.

Thank you for your interest.

If you use Acrylic , Cell Cast Acrylic with 2 part "WeldOn" adhesive for Cell Cast is very good.
I have tried this as the final and best result of many combinations.

Standard Lexan and Plexiglas with inferior glues will produce much trash in the electrolyte.

The best of the best would be Teflon sheet but at a very high price and is not clear as you may know.

Also depending on your electrolyte and heat levels , you may in time see the Acrylic begin to etch and become opaque.

Sounds interesting ResinRat, I wish you the best of luck, and look forward to your progress reports

IronHead,

Thanks for the suggestions on the adhesive.

The chemical resistance chart for the acrylic is attached below.

It looks good for Sodium Hydroxide and the various acids used in Linnard Griffin's Patent.

I would have had the four-electrode reactor going last night but it developed a leak, which I resealed and needs to dry. Maybe by tonight or tomorrow. This sucker is a bit larger than I really want. Holds about a gallon of water, but I wanted to do some long-term testing and I needed the size to fit four electrodes easily. The next one will be a smaller box made with the acrylic.

Thanks for the encouragement h2o. I just want to get something going. This research has been going on for a while now with little to show for it but a load of mistakes and failures. (I mean, knowledge gained. lol) I feel like I am finally on the threshold of a working unit that can be used for long-term (months) electrical power production, running off just ambient temperature energy. This ought to be cool.

Thanks everyone for your interest.

Thanks for the good info ResinRat, for now I know I can passivate my stainless in the container.

Metal Passivation

Passivation is the process of making a material "passive" in relation to another material prior to using the materials together. For example, prior to storing hydrogen peroxide in an aluminium container, the container can be passivated by rinsing it with a dilute solution of nitric acid and peroxide alternating with deionized water. The nitric acid and peroxide oxidizes and dissolves any impurities on the inner surface of the container, and the deionized water rinses away the acid and oxidized impurities.

Now this is for everyone, for the metals to produce gases well they have to be prep first. If not the bubles will stick to the sides and act like an insulator, impeding gas production.
